Re: Long time, no hear, How are you?

Good to hear from you :-)

Goodness me! I can relate to practically everything you say in your post. Do we have the same doctor I ask myself?? Soulds like it! My GP was rather ignorant too, with some of the questions I was asked. I found it insulting to say the least. I was even asked if I'd been abroad too. I told him you don't need to go abroad to get a parasite infection!! (God give me strength!).

My heart symptoms too have calmed down a lot. They are still present but I don't experience them as often.

You've certainly had a lot of what I've had done and nothing showed up with me either - my GP tests/hospital tests. Stool samples were the first thing I handed in to my GP. Came back negative yet the sample I produced had, what I considered to be, a worm. He even thought so himself! Still came back negative. I had the awful sputum analysed too, came back ok,(which I struggle to believe because I definately spit up parasite eggs, no doubt about that).

I've had the colonoscopy/endoscopy too. No parasites found, although they did find the h-pylori bug which I was treated for. I told my GP my symptoms were far too aggressive and severe for it just to be the h-pylori bug.

Interestingly, even after cleansing, various other alternative practitioners, hospital tests I knew I had parasites. Try telling your doctor after having all this and yes, it's difficult for them to believe you have parasites. That's been my experience. Many times I wanted to scream.

Regarding my results I had done last year these came AFTER I had all my GP/hospital tests yet GP/hospital found nothing (apart from h-pylori bug). I find it absolutely incredible I can have all this going on yet my national health service found practically nothing. The mind boggles! It's absolutely astonishing.

I'm doing ok at the moment. I'm working with a practitioner. It can be slow but I'm well aware I have a long healing journey ahead of me.

With regards to the contagious side of things, I worry too, for my other family members, mother, father, sisters, brother, nephews, nieces. It's a huge concern for me.

With regards to the intimacy in your relationship I sympathise with you entirely. I have a HUSBAND and I worry dearly for him. He is aware of my infections/infestations and we are very careful but can we ever be careful enough? I've read that parasite infections are common in married couples and with us being so close I cannot disregard his health. He has absolutely no symptoms that I have, NONE whatsoever. It is a grave concern for me so I understand your concern for your boyfriend. I would like my husband tested but because he has no symptoms and he feels fine he doesn't see the need (?!!) I have to say I think he's rather ignorant to the fact that maybe he doesn't want to know that possibly he has what I have. I know he won't admit it. He often says he has no symptoms if I ask anything, but I've told him one can be symptom free. I know my infections probably took years to manifest themselves to a serious problem. One thing IS for sure, he'll have no idea what hits him if he has got what I've got!! It scares me to even think that.

All the best :-)
