Do I know how to use my time off or what?

[BrianP.]

I always have them knock me out. It's the best nap you can get. And they just barely put you under. I've gone right out to eat after the procedure.

When JP mentioned it I looked it up.

I really don't want to derail or water the importance of what John has, but virtually everything I've looked into in the last 15 months has been parasitic driven.

We need to start a thread for us old codgers !  We'll title it " Yeah! I've had that!"

[ghuns]

I woke up from my first colonoscopy and asked the nurse, what'd they give me?

She said, Propofol.

I was like, I see why Michael Jackson was willing to die for this shit.

I've never done any drugs recreationally, but I could do that one.

Reading this thread makes me realize what a fortunate man I am.
Aside from the usual chilhood aliments, I had chicken pox for 3 days in the mid 90's.
I tested positive for covid twice during the scamdemic, but never really felt bad.
I was in the hospital overnight after stepping in front of a car and that's it.

That was the first hospital stay for me since I was 14 and needed ankle surgery...

Didn't they admit that the tests weren't very accurate? So you might not have even had it at all.

true... crazy times
a guy in my church, mid fifties, moderately overweight, didn't drink or smoke
a mild cough on Sunday, dead on Thursday

on the other hand, I know legions of sick bay commandos who milked the mandatory covid pay laws for every dime
they could get. I lost a lot of respect for a lot of people during the covid times

I thought you had back surgery recently.

[BrianP.]

I was good till 59. Once I quit smoking Ulcerative Colitis reared it's ugly head. Diverticulitis 4 or 5 times. C-Diff 3 times. In the last 5 years I've had around 10 colonoscopy's and sigmoidoscopy's. 5 or 6 CT scans. One MRI, two bone density tests and a couple of Adrenal stress tests.

I figure that at bare minimum half of the shit I've been going through for the last 2 years are drug related. They won't prescribe pain meds so your stuck suffering. Everything they give you now days is a pshyc drug that is used for off label uses. Mirrazapine to try and help with appetite. Cymbalta for pain. Etc...etc... I have had more than one put me down and out. Yesterday was the first day where I felt decent more than I felt unwell in about 2 months coming off the Mirtazapine which did nothing for my appetite. That don't tell you how extremely hard it is to get off these drugs that they prescribe like candy.

Wishing you all the very best with this John and please take this with the good intention that is meant:-
Possibly parasitic condition via TGondi - as you haven't got cats, BIG possibility through eating undercooked meat (such as chicken venison, pork, lamb).
Again, all the very best and this needs sorting very much sooner than.
 

JP , hope they figure this out. but reading Newb's post try using Ivermectin & Fenbendazole. I've been reading
how this is helping many people with illnesses ranging from cancer to unknown..
Are you on a statin drug for cholesterol? they will affect the muscles in some cases.

Prayers for you...

That back has been a non-issue since then.

I know for a fact (ref Glioblastoma and MRI scans) that Mebenzale, no smoking, no sugar, Cumin/Tumeric pills, mucho garlic and lots of water "to flush", reduced it. And they, are the biggest baddest most aggressive MF that you could ever be unfortunate to have.
And for your ref, Meben crosses the blood brain barrier better, than Fenbendazole. So if you have a tumour below your neck, Fenben would be my go-to.

And today,  after some back and forth with my insurance company,  I finally started receiving my treatments to hopefully put this disease into a remission.

Had a 7+hr IVIg infusion done,  round 2 tomorrow.  From there it's 2 days every 4 weeks until my body calms the hell down.

I had a 2 day course of these treatments when I was in the hospital in November but with a 9 week span, I was starting to feel the weakness and symptoms slowly coming back.

Right now I'm set for 2 days every 4 weeks for a year,  then depending on blood and symptoms they may start trying to space out the treatments and see how I do but it's stay the course until then.
