Oh, forgot, also lots of joint pain! Especially lower back and hips!"
Ok, now you tell me; I was wondering; yes, I had excruciating back pain and hip pain; left hip; could not walk; this from the colon inflammation, and this is one of the distinct Eh symptoms, and classic books on parasitology lists this as a symptoms, but the criminal doctors do not know. You must have shoulder pain, which most people think is normal. I had horrible left shoulder pain, could not lift my arm.
I cannot wait to hear what Cahill says about your case.
Many years ago, I had a lower back xray saying I had a very slight authritus. I have been thinking it has been that, just getting older, is what happens. But lately, very bad. I never had a bad injury/accident or anything. Who knows what this could be. I have read that (for Blasto anyway) that it gives off a toxin that inflames the joints...?) but you say it's not Blasto, so we will see.
I also thought it was my mattress, so I was sleeping on another mattress. Helped a bit.....I think it could be combination of things. Even my stretches and routine back excercises are really helping. They used to go a long way.
No shoulder pain. But neck pain. I'm 51. I think some degree of joint soreness is typical...
I had severe back pain, where I could not stand for 10 minutes straight without not having to sit down, it was excruciating. Back pain a distinct symptoms of Eh. Trust me. I never had back pain, and I am only 44. It came within all other other joint pain WITHIN DAYS of my being infected.
Also have lower back pain and right hip pain that moves from hip to appendix area.
HAd kept thinking that I'd pulled my back out but now know it's all coming from the intestines being inflamed.
Have not had such bad arthritis with this EH. Did have it really badly with Giardia though in the past. Just came up overnight. Asked the doctor I saw at that time (Galland in NYC) if he thought it was caused by the Giardia. He said he had heard of that happening but didn't think so. Anyway, when I got rid of the Giardia, the arthritis disappeared.
