First if any of you fellow suffers (plug in any adjective you like to describe your current situation with blasto) also have c.diff.....please let me know how you mange both infections. I just go back and forth from one to the other being active.
So I have, over 18 years now, developed some very predictable symptoms. Sometimes it is very hard to tell between the two infections because there is overlap but most of the time they are distinguishable. And night sweats is one that solely belongs to blasto. I know when I have agitated it and it produces night sweats that soak the back of my neck and my hair. I wake up jolted and feel so agitated. And then I feel cold on the back of my neck and when I reach around I am soaked.
Another bizarre symptom I get are blood blisters in my mouth. I have these huge crazy blood blisters and I just wonder if the strain of this bad bug I have is actually somehow viral as well as parasitic. Or maybe it an undiagnosed co-infection. I have been tested so many ways for so many different things and I have been on so many round of drugs and herbs to clear infections that I have a hard time thinking it is a co-infection. PLus the only things showing up over and over is blasto.
Of course there is the d when I eat fructose, the cramping when I eat sugar and the excessive gas when I eat carbs. And the bloating when it is really in charge.
I also have these crazy body shakes which I also get with c.diff and make it hard to tell which one with just the symptom singled out. The shakes are more like an overload of the toxins that are then coursing through my veins. I keep saying to myself I need to get on some milk thistle. The shakes keep me up all night
An interesting theory in my household is the effect stress has on me. I get so angry at the medical system when they blame stress. And while I do believe stress can have short term acute effects like d or tummy issues and headaches, and while I do believe constant stress can have long term effects on heart and immune system, I absolutely do not believe that stress causes a parasitic infection. I mean this is just no way stress materializes another living organism inside your body whose sole purpose is to compromise your body so it survives.
Like yourself, I used to have extreme symptoms of blasto. Especially aches and night sweats. Nowadays I moderate my carb intake as well as taking simarouba bark tea every day for 2 weeks, once every 6 months. The relief I get from the tea is miraculous.
ReplyDeletePS It's the shakes I also find the most disturbing. But again the simarouba tea helps
