Went to the ER this morning

[Guest guest]

Last night I tried to sleep on the sofa again because I had about 4+ pretty good

hours of sleep there the night before. In just a few minutes they were crawling

all over me. Weary, beaten down and sobbing I got up, removed the sheets and put

Lice Shampoo on my hair. I hate it!!! because the ones on my scalp go totally

beserk during the 10 min it takes them to die. I leave it on much longer than

the prescribed 10 min, until I'm sure they have truly died. Who wants to deal

with a hoard of stunned mites? I was in a hurry the 1st time I used the lice

shampoo and it was a waste of time. Less time is only like a vitamin for them.

Then I put my pillows in the dryer on high for 40 minutes and went over & over

the sofa with lint rollers and, sprayed with Bedbug + spray, left it to dry and

then took a shower. I scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed. Loofah, Body scrub,

Sulpher 10% soap. Even though I knew they should be gone my body was traumatized

and it feelt like they were still on me. After it all I poured a container of

1/2 Cider Vinegar and 1/2 warm water on me from the top of my head to the soles

of my feet. It burned like crazy because my skin is so damaged from all the

different mixes and slutions I have been using. Dryed my hair, put on fresh,

clean jammies & socks.

Remade the sofa up with fresh, clean sheets & pillow cases. No sooner had I laid

down when they were all over me again. They have to be coming out of my body.

There's no way they could get all over me that fast.

I got up and went through the whole routine again but this time I woke my

husband up and told him we were going to the hospital. I carried along my red

folder with all the information I have so far.

In the ER nobody had ever heard of what I told them was wrong with me. I

referred all my attendees to my red folder. The main guy thought it was pretty

humorous and had a hard time holding back his laughter. They did the usual blood

& urine tests. I asked that the blood test be expanded to include looking for

parasites and was informed that test is only done through poop. Smart crowd,

there! Diagnosis " can't sleep due to itching " . They gave me an iv that put me

right to sleep for 3-1/2 hours then released me with a prescription " Loratadine

10mg 1x " My husband took it to get filled and came back with an over the counter

bottle of Kirkland brand from Costco. Well! I already have the same thing in my

cabinet and it does nothing for this issue. So tomorrow it goes right back. One

thing that may work out good is that since I changed my primary care dr and

can't get in to see my new dr yet, I am considered between plans and without

coverage so I can go to PCAN clinic - Primary Care Access Network, so they say.

I've never heard of it before but will try it.

OH! The little smarty pants who took my blood & gave me the IV said she'd like

to take a look at my folder. When I told her about the exterminators and how I

found Birdmites.org and thus found this forum she commented " I know, I've seen

those shows on tv " . HUH!! I was on my way out/under from the iv so wasn't able

to discuss it further. Later today I remembered and I'll just bet she thinks

I've seen shows on tv and am imagining this nightmare. I have never seen any

show on tv about this stuff so I think as soon as I can get that journal done

I'll write to the head of the ER, the hospital and the big cheese over all that

chain of hospitals. They need to be informed. I will resist including a few

mites so they can know firsthand it is no figment of anyone's imagination.

I think I need to journal this experience and try to pull together
