Guest guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 For the last three weeks I have been at my wits end. I have dismantled my home, cleaned and disinfected EVERYTHING! It has been overwhelming. I am a single mom with four kids and run my own business. This has taken a toll on my life and on my sleep. I have spent countless hours researching and reading medical sites, mite forums, blogs and discussion groups. I spent roughly a thousand dollars on chemicals, cleaning supplies, garbage bags, menthol crystals, peroxide, bleach, borax, ammonia, baby oil, MSM Sublimed Sulfur, a 25 lb bag of sulfur, 500 dollars just on cedarcide, tea lights, Windex..you name it I tried it. If someone would have recommended cyanide I probably would have tried it. I felt under siege. It was slowly ruining my life. I have bathed in bleach, peroxide, Epsom salt...(I even drank the Epsom salt). I have put sulfur in my shampoo, bought sulfur soap, purchased Arbonne body wash and sunscreen, bathed in sulfur, cried and felt so very desperate that millions of invisible creatures were stalking me. I felt my house was haunted. I haven't slept more than two hours a night, and eating less and worse than I normally do. I have felt that I was a Leper and that I was going to have to live the rest of my life defending myself from these demons. I even contacted a Parasitologist. That itself took almost an entire day to locate one in my hometown. This all started after a month battle with lice. I am almost 40 with four girls and have never had to deal with lice. Getting rid of the lice took almost a month, in which I dismantled and bagged and sprayed my house. Three days after the lice were gone I started feeling biting like pin pricks - especially at night and while on my computer. I immediately thought I had caught something from the dog we just got rid of - maybe he was hosting these demons. My legs had the sores on them. I immediately thought it was body lice or bed bugs. I had an exterminator come to my house. I began reading about body lice and bed bugs, but didn't see any sign of body lice. Then I started seeing salt like crystals on my clothing and on my skin. During this process I rear ended someone because I was so obsessed with the white specks on my hand. In my black bra were the little white things, and my bra itched like it had cracker crumbs in it. So I began my " Mitemare " . The place it has affected me most is my lower legs. I seem to have these white fibers on my legs. I have scrubbed my body raw. They just wouldn't go away. None of the chemicals or cleaning methods were working. About two weeks into my nightmare I saw a post about cutting out sugar, but I was still not eating very well. I was willing to try anything. So I did - it helped a little. Then I saw another post about a thing called Candida. It is a type of yeast/fungi of the body. It it caused from bad eating habits, too much refined sugar and carbs. It affects the skin and whole body. In a desperate attempt I stopped all carbs and started the sulfur cream on my body. My life is a thousand miles an hour. Cheerleading, Dance, Gymnastics, Theatre, School, Homework and Running my own business. For the last four years I basically stopped cooking and ate nothing but fast food, and packaged goods. I rarely drink enough water and drink coffee like crazy. Once I stopped all bad food it has almost stopped. I only feel slight tingling, and only occasional pin pricks. Tonight will be the first night back in my bed with my pillows. I am so excited. I am typing on my computer and don't feel anything. Please I know this is not the answer for everyone, but please save yourself lots of agony and start with two things - Sulfur cream (which kills fungi) and a Yeast free diet. If I can save anyone from spending and going through the hell that I went through then I will be glad to do it. In the last three weeks I have contemplated suicide more times - than the previous forty years. God Bless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
