Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 > Deb; is right get all the tests done ASAP Demand it I have had 2 heart attacks and that affects my spelling.I use IE spell check too most of the time.First one was on OR table in Jan 1999 during female surgery second one was a silent one in 2003 Nov .My Dr's Pa misdiagnosed me.well I have nothing nice to say about him.I since changed Dr's and have great and good looking cardiologist too. But they think we are woman so we have stress, anxiety etc menopause, PMS'ing etc so demand it. all things can lead to dizziness even signs of an impending heart attack too. Like said it took her seeing a neurologist cause her regular Dr didn't take her seriously. But best of luck Please let us know.One more thing my twin brother died August 2 1999 of a massive heart attack I am on altace,HCT,Liptor and 1 325 mg aspirin twice a day. Also if you have any type of heart trouble we aren't to take Lyrica either. I am a spokeswoman for Go Red Campaign too. But best of luck. gentle hugs Heidi > Dear Deb, > > I had a stroke in 1997.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Okay, I am going to call the doc again today. I have an appointment on Thursday for sure with him. I called yesterday, the receptionist called me at my office and told me the nurse would be calling me shortly as the doc wasn't in yesterday. She called and left a message at my home in a different town and asked if I'd followed up at urgent care yet. The whole point was supposed to be that she was going to talk to me--I was really angry with her. Going to check today to see if I can get in with a different doc, the one I saw last at urgent care. I was told he's not taking any new patients, but I'm going to beg. Deb Halvorson Re: Question for group Dear Deb,I had a stroke in 1997. The Ischemic k ind.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Deb, I'm glad you're calling the doc. My husband had a stroke last year, but he wouldn't go to the ER for 6 days. His symptoms were dizziness and double vision, that's all. I did not know that these symptoms could be indicative of stroke. Good luck to you, you will be in my prayers.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 About 2 years ago I had these same symptoms, and suffered a mini-stroke which left my vision slightly " blurred " , esp in the left eye. I thought it was the meds I was taking, but it turned out to be my cholesterol level was too high. After taking Lipitor (40mg) the symptoms cleared.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I agree that these are stroke symptoms, but when I went to the ER they could not find any stroke symptoms. My pharmacist, and the BC/BS call-a-nurse both told me " you are having a stroke " , but the ER doctors just patted me on the hand, and sent me on my way. I went to my eye-doctor because of the blurred vision, and he confirmed the stroke. BUT...I had to push my own medical doctor to keep checking it out, because the next thing that happened as I had a mild-heart attack, which the ER also denied. My pushing my med/doc caused him to send me to a heart doc " just in case " and that is where my cholesterol was detected, and treated. YOU know your body better than any doctor ... don't let them push you aside and make you feel as if you are just complaining about nothing. According to my heart- doc if I did NOT begin on the Lipitor ASAP, I was at high risk for a major heart-attack or stroke.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Those are the same symptoms I had when I had my stroke in 1997. Seek help immediately! Do you want to know how long it took before I was finally sent to a Neurologist? Three long months!!!! I went to see my Dr. at the time everyday and bugged him, begged him and pleaded with him. I was only 42 and finally he sent me to the best Neurologist he knew. The majority of my initial symptoms were gone by the time I saw him, but I had an ultrasound of my neck, cat scan, MRI and finally an Angiogram which finally confirmed I did indead have a blood clot in my left Carotid artery in my neck. I was in HELL! I couldn't work or take notes in school. I kept on working, but I finally had to drop out of school. But I went back the next Semester. All I can say is BUG THE HELL out of whoever you are seeing. I can't believe I had symptoms for so long and didn't die! They immediately put me on an aspirin a day, Plavix and Coumadin. Now all I take is Coumadin, a blood thinner. They won't touch my clot because it could break loose and go to my brain. So, seek help now!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 This is a late reply, but did you get checked out for multiple sclerosis? It has symptoms similar to fibro, but can also include the dizzy symptoms/visual issues that you described. Make sure that they order an MRI.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hi in NH. I live in Central Mass and are you close to the border? Can u see docs in Mass? I can personally recommend two really good docs at UMASS in the neurology department. Dr. Majaz Moonis and Dr. Novak....can't remember his first name...both extremely thorough. They do put you through a lot of tests but they are of the school of thought they should find the cause, not just treat the symptoms which has helped me tremendously. They are hard to get into see but well worth it. That's my experience with them. I saw 4 neurologist in AZ and none of them would help me at all and said my mylomeningocele was not causing any of my pain....stupid jerks! So glad I moved here and getting good health care. As for measuring pain....they ask me that all the time and I try to memorize the little smiley chart they have at the hospital.for measuring pain. I average around 6 to 8 for my pain and that's with meds on board....I live for those 4 and 5 days. I'd rather feel pain and have my brain working then being in a fog and pain free. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 I have experience pain that I never would have thought was possible with my ankylosing spondylitis. I think the way I have changed is that I now take a much more active role in my own health care. I am so lucky. I found a really great practitioner. I tried acupuncture as a last resort, and I found someone who was really amazing. In one hour, I had no pain left whatsoever. I still had a lot of tension and stiffness, but the pain was gone. So was the inflammation. question for group Hi all. I have a question for the group. First of all I would like to say there are two " s " on this group who do post comments.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Yes, my symptoms are exactly the same. Each morning at about 6 am things get better; I've noted that for some time that the sensations have a timing. IF these are mites, they are quorum sensing and more active late afternoon to early morning. IF they are not mites, I don't know why the activity would be so much like the activity from mites. Would that just be a coincidence? At the beginning of this 2 years ago I could actually hear a humming on my body, but can't anymore. Question for Group Would really appreciate hearing from you guys regarding whether or not your symptoms worsen in the evening.Mine get worse after sunset- but don't go into full gear until approximately 1am, and continue until sunrise (approximately 6am), and then taper off.Also, as crazy as this sounds, the biting and itching get worse after showering. This would support the people who recommend the use of oils to slow the bugs down.I've tried using oils on my body, but haven't found any relief from doing so.D.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Sometimes I can hear something too. It seems like a high-pitched, almost ultra-sonic, whine. And they definitely respond to thoughts and emotions. If I'm angry or upset, they go wild. Also, I can feel a certain anxiety that feels like it's coming from inside my body (from them). Crazy as it sounds, it seems they are trying to take control of every part of my life this way. If they connect with our DNA (as some experts have said), how can we completely rid ourselves of them? Some have found relief, but still employ health protocols (they didn't use before the infestation) as a lifestyle. And if this is somehow related to ingesting GMO's, even if you found some relief, converting to a diet which is exclusively organic, isn't realistically feasible for a lot of people (practically speaking).

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Every time I shower, and am about to put soap (sulfur) on my forearms, they create goosebumps- it's uncanny. And they do it every time now. My guess is- they prevent the soap from entering the pores by tightening them this way. Is this crazy, or what? I mean, who would believe this, if it wasn't actually happening to them? It's not paranoia, but truth is- between the stress of all this, and the real damage they wreak on our CNS (central nervous system), they create their own version of " paranoia " for us.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 D that is a classic more itching after showering esp for me before i started having fibers. My itching starts on the dot at 4;30 pm and then at bet.6;30 and 8pm i have to take some king of bath...then i have to pick all the fibers and bugs off...mms spray...subsides at midnight to 1 am...but if i were to eat a large carbo load I might really suffer but i am chronically about 7 pounds underweight due to this pain in the A disease...so I tend to eat small amounts at a time...in a way I think this chronic undereating and the amount of mms I take 3o -35 drops keeps the misery down but now I believe i have progressed to the " attractive facial lesion stage " lol..so what i am saying is some of the crawling and itching has been replaced by the peeling lesion mess so to me it seems like a progression...mms spray gets the deep garbage out..spray and rub it in and spray about 6 times to annoying areas...but works best if You've taken it internally...it is the main relief for me mms stops alot of misery..if I don't have it in my system esp around mid afternoon and on I would be very uncomfortable...but this is what works for me maybe not everyone...garlic is the one supplement I would not be without...but if You can eat it raw it's got to be more potent --- cerph@... wrote: From: cerph@... <no_reply > bird mites Subject: Re: Question for Group Date: Tue, 02 Mar 2010 08:05:50 -0000 What " medicine " are you referring to?

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I only heard the humming once or twice at the most, but it was kinda like the humming you hear from a computer but it seemed like it was coming mainly from my head. I first started out with white specs all over my head which was not dandruff and my head was infested the worst; those specs are all gone now.L Re: Question for Group Was the humming more of a feeling you could feel but not really hear. I a time or too felt like my bugs were vibrating or humming. You made me remember something. There is a few times whare I was just to tired to eat trying to keep up with the bugs and the protocal and being crippled. If I did not eat any dinner. The bugs hardly bothered me.In Light Lynn>> Yes, my symptoms are exactly the same. Each morning at about 6 am things get better; I've noted that for some time that the sensations have a timing.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 , I totally understand the times of depression/anxiety/isolation/loneliness that you can get into from this problem. I do occassionally call somebody who no longer posts here. I too am willing to talk with people on the phone, though I haven't had much time lately (been working 50 to 60 hrs/week for the past two months).

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Hi I get worse in the evening, but there is another time that always wakes me up and I am assuming this one is parasitic, not from an insect...4-5AM. I think that getting more symptoms after showering means that you have to spray the bathroom before going in the shower and afterwards. I have been using nokout for this but am looking for something cheaper so just bought safe2use enzymes again. Other quick cheaper products would be good old alcohol. I recently bought an enzyme product when waiting for safe2use and it is phenomenal for killing big insects, but I am not sure for other things like eggs etc. It is called Earthworm floor enzymes and i bought it for @ 6 dollars at Whole foods. I saw an ant on the windowsill in the bathroom and later, a spider on the floor--sprayed this enzyme and poof! dead on contact. Brings to mind another question-- why is it that we all have the same symptoms but apparently we all have different insects... Doesn't make sense to me... Any thoughts?

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I've been really wondering why it does get worse in the evenings and better in the later morning. Do any bacteria, fungi, or viruses become more active at certain times. Plants grow in the dark hours not the light. Lots of organisms are nocturnal... is this a GMO nocturnal creature??? So freakish... Whatever this is is more likely to cause lesions and crawling if my skin is moist and warm... not cold and dry. When I would sit in our hot tub, I would get bites all over my skin in a complete ring around my upper arms and body at the water line. Yikes! I got so scared that I stopped going into it altogether. z3 > > > > > > Would really appreciate hearing from you guys regarding whether or not your symptoms worsen in the evening. > > > > > > Mine get worse after sunset- but don't go into full gear until approximately 1am, and continue until sunrise (approximately 6am), and then taper off. > > > > > > Also, as crazy as this sounds, the biting and itching get worse after showering.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Your point is well taken Zoe. I have wondered exactly the same thing as I am sure many of us here have. For me it starts around 3 pm until about 6 am on the worst days. Could quorum sensing cause this? I often wondered if it made sense to clean during the day or shower during the day because they become more active at specific times late afternoon into evening and early morning. Then it seems they rest or sleep a bit. Can't seem to wake them up either. I try to shower late afternoon most days, but I'm fortunate to be at home to be able to do that.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Fungal infections are characteristic of nighttime activity and moisture, also agrobacterium which is GMO related.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Interesting quote from that website page: " There is a conjectured connection with Morgellons syndrome. Dr. Stricker, along with Dr. Citovsky, MRF board member from the State University of New York at Stony Brook and an expert on plant pathogens, reported in January, 2007, that Morgellons skin fibers appear to contain cellulose. Five skin samples of Morgellons patients contained evidence of DNA from Agrobacterium.
