Re: Ulcerative colitis personality

[Guest guest]

You can't win for losing. If

you "present" with your "complaints" you are crazy. If you ask for the

mercy of death you are crazy. If you say, as you put it, "thank you

sir, may I have another" you are lazy and still maybe crazy.

I would not fault profoundly ill, exhausted and brutalized patients for

what they do or don't do, because it doesn't much matter. Until

society decides to quit pushing inconvenient truths aside and letting

Big Pharma and the psychological establishment manipulate them, nothing

will change.

I think we need to attack those vested interests by highlighting their

evil machinations against a range of illnesses, not to mention their

incestuous relationships with each other, before we'll see change.

It is the role of psychology to legitimize denigration; to turn

the refrigerator mother, the employment of Munchausen by proxy as a

way to keep mothers in line, etc. I was minding my own business,

investigating ulcerative colitis, but you just can't escape their

bigoted pronouncements:

"In the majority of the patients studied psychological abnormalities

and disorders far beyond the range of individual differences in the

average population were found to antedate the initial onset of the

colitis. In relation to other investigations control groups of

patients have been examined by methods which are identical with

those used in the present research. In the ulcerative colitis

patients the degree of difference from average individuals was so

gross as to make a special control group unnecessary. A dated

clinical history and a dated life history, taken independently and

verified from relatives, showed that disturbing events in the

patient's life had preceded the onset, return, and increase of

symptoms more often than can be due to chance."

Ah, psychiatric anomalies supposedly predating disease onset. Sound

Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory condition, with recently, and

clearly demonstrated genetic risk factors. Only bigots could assert

a psychiatric cause for bleeding out your butt. However, "Ulcerative

colitis personality" seems, now, to have gone out of vogue. So it

is not that PWCs employ fashionable diagnoses….:

diseases by psychologists reflects the fad of the times.

Yet PWCs go on saying, "Thank you, sir, may I have another?", whilst

and "brain work" as therapeutic.

Who is more pathetic?

I condemn, without reservation, those PWCs who have the strength to

post on internet forums, but lack the courage to confront the " Uncle

Toms " among us. There can be, and will never be, a reconciliation

between the " Power of the Mind " faction, and the rest of us. PWCs

need to appreciate that impasse, and to confront those PWC adherents

of pseudoscience as worse than enemies--as traitors. That won't be

enough, but I don't see a more plausible path than the one that

starts with that step. We cannot hope to gain credibility when

supposedly sick people embolden healthy people in further de-

legitimizing us.

I have come to see Medicine mostly as a business that's necessary for

Big Pharma to make lots of money. The business of medicince also

seems to be regulated by the big Insurance companies- who take Big

premiums from people, then deny treatment..

I don't see anybody actually looking for a way to cure anything

(unless it's Malaria - then they're mostly just pushing mosquito

nets).

I've been 'round the barn with the AIYH (all in your head) dx..

But I don't really know how to answer Matts question.

I haven't seen any inprovements in most diseases in 30 years, and my

expectations are pretty low for seeing anything within my life time.

I'm having a relapse of Lyme symptoms.... and am trying to manipulate

whom every I have to to get what I want- (and I'm educated now enough

in bacteria, and the chemistry of abx to know what I want and why).

And I'm not adverse to go down alternative avenues to get what I want.

I try to NOT be involved too deep anymore with any Dr...There's so

few I have any respect for whatsoever. It's the position of a pawn

in a bigger game.

I'm sorry to hear that your are relapsing.

Advances in biomedical research are breathtaking. Genomics,

proteomics, imaging technology, high throughput screening, etc.

Getting that technology to work for medical orphans would not be so

difficult.

AIDS went from being a disease viewed as a consequence of sexual

depravity to one that seems now to be perceived as barely related to

risky behavior. Activists coerced society to do an about face, and

develop both a blood test and dramatically effective therapy, all

because they were *politically active*.

Instead of directly confronting the bigotry that they are subjected

to, PWCs have spent decades trying to restore their credibility by

following various gurus who claim to already know how to diagnose

and treat the PWC. Why demand representative NIH funding when you

believe that some maverick already has the answers? What is so

baffling is that many PWCs not only tend to believe that NIH-funded

research is unnecessary, but explicitly downplay the potential for

the NIH to produce something of worth to us even if help is

necessary.

How many more decades will PWCs spend promoting and pursuing this

failed strategy?

Hey :

Nice to hear from you- but sorry you're having a relapse of your own.

I haven't been to your site in a while.. I'm going to do that now.

Matt:

Nice to hear from you too.. and sorry you're not in remission

(hope you're still working and functional though)

RE: Technology: True.. if someone really cared. The tecnology is

there, but the desire isn't.

You're on your own when your malady isn't a major money making

disease.

Hi Matt,

Coming from you, this is encouraging--especially your first sentence.

Hey :

Have you started therapy- and how are you doing with your relapse?

Here's the update on mine.. I'm responding very well- as a matter of

fact all symptoms have abated (headaches, very stiff neck, popliteal

cyst on left knee, tinnitis, migrating pain and feeling like I'm

coming down with the flu abour 2Xper week.

In Dec. I started therapy:

1 month of 300 mg Doxy/day (I weigh about 130 lbs)

5 days of 400 mg Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)and 200 mg Doxy per day

3 days of weaning off Doxy.

10 days of 400 mg HCQ and 1 gram of Clarithromycin (CLR) per day.

I'm almost donw with the HCQ/CLR.

I've not had any breaks between the abx. Interesting becuase in 2002

I couldn't stay on abx for very long at all and had to pulse

everything becuase I felt so bad on them and had so many side effects

(or localized herxes). I had to get off DOxy because of dreams

escalating to daytime hallucinations.

This time I only had 1 hallucination and 1 nightmare.

In 2002 I couldn't take Zith becuase it slugged up my gallbladder

within 24 hrs (Bms turned sand color, and I could feel my liver press

on my right rib.). CLR is the same chemical class (but not exactly

the same - collects more in the lung than the gallbladder).

I haven't had any problems with CLR.

So I deduce from all that that my bacterial load is WAAAY lower now

than it was in 2002 - and my difficulties were probably mostly from

die-off.

In any case- I finish up this therapy in about 5 days.

Hope to have another 4 years symptom free.

I've taken measures for anti-yeast and will continue with that regime

(maybe get a candida panel - haven't decided yet).

Let me know how you're doing.

Hi again :

2 things you say mirror mine.. I repeat your statements below:

PAUL SAID:i know it sounds feeble not recognising the

> symptoms but the symptoms came on so cunningly ..Anyway three days

back

> i took 100mg of Doxy , it sounds a contradiction with such diverse

> symptoms but the Doxy worked like magic and i am now symptom free.

Its

> quite a contrast to the times when i was utterly dependent on

taking

> high dose at least two abx's a day.

END QUOTE

:

I missed my returning symptoms- thinking they were something else

before I connected the dots...I was surprised by my own behaviour of

misreading the symptoms.!!

PLUS- Like you - a relatively short course of abx seems to be making

all my symptoms abate. The only reason I am still on them is the

HCQ/CLR seems to be improving my annular ACA lesions on my hand (That

I've had for atleast 2 years-).

Keep me posted.
