Re: Dr. Sporogamo, talk with Vet and apologies

Good job Terry. Sorry to hear your mail didn't go through. It is a function or problem with when that happens and I've had it happen 2 x before. I don't have mites any more, but I know birdmites.org site used to have on their site a way to capture mites using a pot of water with a type of lamp over it. I can't remember how that is done. Maybe try there. I'm looking forward to whatever info you get from Dr. Sporogamo. Were you on this site when Kris used to post? He was a geneticist working with bird mites. His mother was infected in Great Britain. He was trying to help her and gathering information. He went back to his life about a year ago, also very busy raising kids and his professional work. He did not have mites himself, but just wanted to help his mom and us. You could look up some of his posts too. I miss him.From: "mitesbegone" <no_reply >bird mites Sent: Saturday, May 12, 2012 1:36:14 AMSubject: Dr. Sporogamo, talk with Vet and apologiesHi all, just wanted you to know that I am still communicating with Dr. Sporogamo. He wants me to collect samples of mites so that he can confirm that I am dealing with the red bird mite, no other kind. This is tough as I am not sure I still have mites. But I am going to see if I can do this. I know there was a posting from Linds? I think about the confirmation of bird mites at her place as well as the PCO believing that up to 30% of people can host them...Wow. I spent a couple of hours replying to posts only to discover that none of them seemed to be going through. So I am sorry about that. I wish I could tell you that I would go back and repost everything, but now I am just so tired. Hopefully this post will go through or somehow, all my other postings will magically appear.But, if anyone has examples of mites they can capture, perhaps we can somehow get a picture or something as proof of the mite. Then we will need to work on the fungus. But, just wanted you to know I am still pursuing all of this.And got a call from my Vet today. He was very excited to read the two articles I sent him about Bartonella in dogs. He did not know much about it. But he immediately contacted a professor at Washington State University to discover more. In the meantime, he is now convinced that the wound on my dog's neck is the result of a necrotic bite from ??? ...He thinks maybe a tick, but is no longer ruling out a mite bite. He is prescribing additional abx for her as well as my other dog and is trying to find out how much the testing will cost. He now believes both my dogs have Lyme and Bart. I hope everyone is hanging in there. Wish my replies to your postings had not been lost.I am heading back home for a couple of days this weekend. Would have gone sooner, but it is getting close to my daughter's wedding and I am trying to do things with her, like going to her gown fitting today and picking out shoes. I can't do this stuff when I am at home because I am always so scared I am going to transfer mites to her. Plus I always feel so dirty and itchy. But I have to face the music sooner or later, so this weekend is the "sooner"...will keep you posted as much as I can. Sure am hoping to see if they have all gone away, but in my heart, I know they haven't. I only spend a couple of hours inside the house and I start to itch. My good friend now thinks this problem is all in my head. He told me that he thought I was just making it all up. Boy did that hurt! Anyway, stay strong everyone, Terry------------------------------------

Thanks hun, the logical part of my brain knows and understands that were I hear

to someone talk about the things we have all experienced I would perhaps

question it as well. But my compassionate side would not accuse them of having

a " mental " problem and I certainly would not ask them to show me their bug bites

before I would even believe they were being bitten. Sigh....all this is so hard

for us to grasp, let alone people who are not in it so I try to not judge.

But no matter what, the pain is still there, as you know and have experienced

yourself. Thank goodness for this forum and the believers in it. Such a sad

yet rewarding place to visit for a dose of reality and comfort.

Terry
