Re: I am officially diagnosed
There was 2 times where i coughed and spit and it felt like something solid (but small), but I couldn't see because i was driving and spit out the window, like a hillbilly... and the other time it was dark and i spit into the toilet but when i turned the light on and flashlight app on my phone, i didnt see anything. It's very rare that i get bronchitis. Winter time when im shoveling snow for 6 hours.. . But in the summer time, holed up in my bedroom most of the day because i feel dirty and infectious... no way.
I dont use my hands to cough besides covering with a paper towel to spit and its usually in the morning and at night. My hands are so red from constant washing.
What is the filarial stage? I suspect I have whipworms because the 2 or 3 times that i was able to flush out something that looked like a legit worm, twice they were white but stained with bile and had a 'whip" looking tail. Someone posted a whipworm the other day and thats when i had my "aha" moment. The other time it was long, solid and the er doctor guessed tapeworm, but everyone here thought it resembled more of an ascaris. But where it gets confusing is, i flushed out even more of those but they broke up like snot when i tried to skewer them from the toilet. They looked exactly alike, but not solid.
Filaris worms I thought were like the dog heart worms that go all over to different organs? Which would explain why my lungs are badly infected and in severe pain in one particular spot. I read that they get in your lymph nodes too and the lymph nodes in my legs/groin.. females have a groin, right? My lymph nodes there have been hurting, but i don't feel worm activity there.. so maybe my body is trying to fight them off and thats why they hurt? I sure hope so. Up until mid June I was a perfectly healthy, albeit a little under weight... then everything changed so I have reason to suspect it's related to a
parasite when some new affliction or illness comes.
This is too exhausting and frustrating.. too many what ifs. Why any of us have to sit around wondering WTF and take online google crash courses in parasitology is ridiculous.
We all deserve our doctors vacation homes in the Hamptons for doing all the work for them.
