Hello,
This is only my second day officially here. I replied to a post yesterday, asking questions; and this morning I posted something that seemed like a bit of comic relief for me, and for others, I'd hoped. I guess I have an "off" sense of humor that maybe no one else understood or appreciated. I have had no replies at all, which has made me more depressed and sad, and afraid - feeling so alone.
I contracted this thing when I moved into a new apartment the last week in December, 2010, and started showing symptoms and seeing strange things around the place a couple of weeks later; so I've only really been trying to deal with this for about 6-7 weeks. It is/has progressed quite rapidly with me. It started with splinter-looking, then seed-like things, and I removed many of them from my chest, where they first appeared. I taped a lot of this stuff to notebook paper or the backs of envelopes, labeled them, dated most of them, and put them in large ziplock bags. I have the same story most of us do with regards to going to the ER, so no need to get into much of that, except I was told these things were not living "bugs" or anything else. He looked at my upper back, where I had not messed with the lesions much, and thought maybe there was a pattern similar to scabies, so he dismissed me with a prescription for permethrin, which I tried, seemed better that night, then all back the next day. I started seeing fibrous cocoon-like things on the carpet, and elsewhere in the apt., along with the splinter-like things (sharp on one end and squared-off on the other... EVERYWHERE. Then the black specks, then the white specks. The black ones will suddenly just dart out of my body whether there is a lesion or not. Once when I looked into the mirror, one just dashed out of the side of my nose, and I managed to grab it and flick it into the toilet. Then I started seeing the worm-like things around here, and I pulled 2-3 out of my ears. Something had been laying eggs in my ears for sometime, also, so I started using a Q-tip and placing some diatomaceous earth in them, which helped - especially at night, trying to sleep. When one of the creepy things crawls in, or tries crawling out of an ear, and the DE is in there, I hear crunching sounds, as it dies. Lately this has become a pleasant sound. Within just a few weeks, I had most of the manifestations I've read about, except fibers coming out of my body or the glittery bits. I, from the start, had the crawling and biting sensations, etc. I looked into the mirror a couple of days ago, and a "hair" was sticking out of my nose (about 1 1/2" long), and was doing quick little circles, like a propeller!
The next day, I pulled a red fiber right out of my face, with a tiny white dot in the middle. I have begun coughing them up... the black specks, and sometimes tiny worm-like things. I feel often as though I had accidently swallowed some hair, and it is stuck in my throat; so I keep clearing my throat and coughing and spitting, mostly to find some black specks in the toilet. I was taking a shower the other night after I'd earlier sprayed some vinegar with MSM and cedar oil in it on my hair, and other parts of my body. While I was washing my hair, I felt what seemed like a grain of salt, and I grabbed it and pulled out a worm/fiber... 1-2 inches long. Later I taped it to my "artifact paper". It looks just like a worm, and when I feel in under the tape, it's head is hard, but the rest of it seems braided... actually it seemed as if someone's grandmother had knitted them a worm. It was attached to one on my hairs, at the follicle. Last night, after my shower and washing my hair, which looks much thicker, but isn't really mine anymore, I was looking into the mirror, trying to see if I could dislodge any more of these "hairy worm-things" from my head; but my hair is a tangled mess/mass now, and although I thought I found some, I was not able to remove any. I did, however grab a cluster (almost like a thin dreadlock) from one side of my head, and swayed it over to the other side, and I watched it dance around for awhile until I started feeling nauseous. I rarely pick at my skin lesions anymore, as I've found with the treatments I've been doing steadily now for the past week, left alone, they will dry up and can easily be brushed off, leaving hardly any mark... OR they will soften in the hot shower (I have no bathtub here!!!), and I will watch a few insect and/or worm-looking things go down the drain... but not in droves, which is what I'd actually prefer. The lesions on my arms, and everywhere are looking much better now. I feel, though, that they've taken to going further into my body, however, and that scares the hell out of me. I am hoping I'm experiencing somewhat of a "die-off" effect. I have not been able to order the sulfur powder and the enzymes and Colloidal Silver , etc., yet for lack of money. I believe these things are helping a bit for the lesions, and the "die-off" effect I HOPE I'm experiencing... I take 1-2 T. apple cider vinegar (with the "mother") 2-3 times a day around meals, although my appetite comes in spurts now, and I'm eating about 1/3 what I'm used to, but NO alcohol, sugar, and very rarely any whole wheat grain (except brown rice), and rarely any dairy, except yougurt... I am drinking the 1/8-1/4 t. borax in 1 liter of purified water throughout the day, about 1 T. total of virgin coconut oil/virgin olive oil once a day (when I remember - (supposed to be colon cleansing), 2,000 mg. vitamin C, MSM capsules with glucosamine and chondroiton added (because it is the only sulfur-type thing I have yet), selenium, vitamin B6, D3, probiotics, mega fish oil, lemon juice and baking soda sometimes, diamotaceous earth (about 1/4 t. in water) right before bed... twice a day I fill my squirt bottle with a mixture of ACV, 1 MSM capsule and one of the pesticide-type essential oils, like orange, cedar, peppermint, etc... but I'm starting to run out. I spray my body and some of my surroundings with this throughout the day. I put essential oils all over my bedding and pillow at night, which seems to help; and now I keep clove oil and water by my bed, as "they" have seemed to begin invading my teeth... like a regular bad, bad toothache, but I feel movement instead of the usual throbbing; so when this happens, (3 out of 4 of the last nights), I put a couple drops of clove oil in my mouth and a sip of water, and swish a lot until the horrible pain goes away. Last night, I had some garlic cloves by the bed, and when I felt the pain first coming on, I quickly peeled the clove of garlic and bit down on it for awhile... it took a bit longer than with the clove oil, but it never got as bad this time, as I did this right away; anyway, it worked - and it's a good thing, as I'm almost out of clove oil.
Please contact me, respond to me, acknowledge me. I am a friend living a similar nightmare. I will be happy to be a friend to you.
