Hi Fledgling,

Thank you for taking the time to answer and provide so many suggestions. This IS the first time I've written and I don't (yet) know how a site like this works..

My health began to decline when I had jaundice upon returning from a trip. My doctor said it might be hepatitis, (had blood tests, it wasn't). Then I went to a tropical disease specialist who said it was a spleen injury from a fall sustained on the trip, (ultrasound and more tests, it wasn't). Then I got lab results that said I had blastocyst but was told that this could not possibly be causing it because "blastocyst does not cause symptoms". More tests.
The jaundice went away after six months, but many other symptoms, including nausea, headache, exhaustion and abdominal pain no one could find a cause for, persisted.
Because no one could tell me what it was, I thought maybe I was just really stressed and very run down.

Finally, about a year after my trip, I just googled 'jaundice' one day, and the results led me to amoebic hepatitis....which blew my mind! (Hello, tropical disease specialist!) Then I looked at 'amoeba' and 'parasite' and I almost couldn't believe it. WHY didn't anyone know what was causing my symptoms? Why couldn't they help me?

I've since discovered in the last year (two years after I was infected) that getting treatment is a challenge because: finding a doctor who will actually believe blastocyst causes symptoms and prescribe medication is difficult, next to impossible and, many medications commonly prescribed as treatment for blastocyst do not work because blastocyst is persistent.

(I had three different medications, which didn't work, before I started researching and discovered that combos of meds seem to be required, due to the polymorphic nature of the blastocyst: the durn thing is a hard cell, a soft(mitosis) cell and an amoebic form in the intestinal wall at different stages of its life cycle, and all forms have to be treated at once to eradicate it.)

I'm currently researching medications. Some of the best and most recent are not available where I live but I'm determined to find them. Currently I'm managing my symptoms with a restricted diet and herbal supplements, all thanks to advice I found online.

Anyway, fledgling, I think I'll post this here for now and hopefully learn how to move it somewhere more active soon...

It sure feels great to be able to be on this forum!
