thanks for the encouraging words Charly. I have definately battled with other issues, and conquered them. I had a hemmoraging fibroid, took care of that, and had horrilbe neck and back problems, overcame them, to lead a perfectly normal and healthy life. I thought it was a nightmare when my 2 girls got lice. 3 months of daily torture. We finally got rid of it for good, again, with my own research through the internet. The drugs only went so far. I would NEVER wish that anyone would have this horrible discusting thing, and I want my life back again and want to be a normal person. Right now, dealing with the nighlty excrusiating and wakening tickly, discusting, crawling itch in my anus, has got to be living hell. Nights are my enemy. I will try to eat more of the herbs, Fledging said 1/4 tsp. of those herbs, but I guess more can only help. I will try to eat more garlic. I have capsules. Sorry to vent. Wondering if I should stop eating sushi. Need to research that.
