Hi,
My poor long suffering wife has posted to this forum a couple of times (username: tunbridge).
A quick summary: Dec 2005 collapsed out of the blue, taken to hospital in an ambulance with a severe gut infection. Once released from hospital the condition was treated with antibiotics - but gut problems just got worse. Spent the whole of 2006 going from one doctor to the next and taking many antibiotics. 2007 - mid 2008 was spent working with a biochemist to rebuild gut - started with more antibiotics and then gluten free/dairy free no chemicals etc. Problem is it didn't work.
Recent trip to a natropath diagnosed parasites and mold intestinal infection. (I have been to S.E Asia several time - the last time was 6 months before I got ill.
Current symptoms are:
Fatigue
Brainfog
Intestinal burning pain
Bloating - Burping
Twitching muscles
Lower back pain
Itchy back
Depression
Panic attacks
White tongue (appears to be related to Liver)
soft pale stools (poor bile flow??)
One week ago started on antiparasite herbs. Since them many symptoms have got worse - in particular the brainfog and fatigue. Whilst my stools have improved in that they are better formed - but still pale.
Whilst I'm finding it very difficult to keep going with the herbs as I feel worse then ever I assume this sort of reaction is normal and will pass? The fact that I feel even worse could be considered evidence that bad stuff is being killed?
Any idea how long before I start seeing some improvements?
Thanks everybody :)
