Thank you fledgling, VERY hopefilled.

I guess I saved the "best" post for last (almost, smile) You words were very kind. A ray of sunshine after another hard nights sleep (actually, it was better in a way. I woke up (bladder hahahah) at midnight, and WAS able to get calm and get back to sleep until my bladder woke me again at 2 am--and then I laid still for two hours, listening to sleep cd.

And it's funny, I've been asking questions on Humaworm too--about giardia, husbands, worming the family, and reading a lot. I just haven't taken the plunge yet. Although my neighbor has said that she can probably order it and I can slip her the money so my husband never knows how much it cost (I shared the website with her and she's posted questions there, and is planning with her husbands consent and support if she gets it, but she usually does; to cleanse her elderly grandmother, four sons, and herself(but not the baby) She is simply amazing, and has been a friend and support to me for many years. I am truly blessed. So, I hope her husband gives her the thumbs up. If not, I'll either figure out something else, or put it off a while longer. But your words gave me something to think about. If that's part of the bladder problem....oh my. And I am CERTAIN my 17 year old daughter had candida. My 21 year old daughter just got back from China, and my 23 year old daughter worked this summer in a day care. We have two cats, and I lived in Puerto Rico as a teen, and used to walk barefoot (still do walk that way) in the water there even though they always said "shisto, don't touch the water in this ditch. I ought to ask Humaworm is that would LONG be out of my system (I assume it would) but anyway, you probably wonder why I'm not driving to Humaworms door to pick the stuff up--after I read what I just wrote I thought--I'm nuts. Obviously the family meets all the warning signs of pasasite infection (except my husband and son)just because I'm the one that struggles the most.....Oh my goodness--my husband has been complaining just in the last year about how often he wakes up for the bathroom(although he can fall right back asleep, unlike me). If parasites cause night bladder urgency, I've got the reason for him to take it.

Fledgling--can you find a reference for me?
thanks,
PJ

looks like I'm headed off to read you next post. I can hardly wait. You are the sunshine of my day! I was rude to Unyquity, and I'm dreading reading the email that she sent me, or the message she sent, or to even consider what she said. All I know is that I read her post first, and it made me really angry (I never "get" angry, and I never react when angry, but I threw that one out the window, and decided to be as blunt as she is, just for a change. I'm not even 'going there'--trying to figure it out, right now. I can feel my stomach start churing. It just flashed in my mind--I have an overbearing older sister (I have 3, only one is a control freak) who didn't make my teen years particularily pleasant--I had a mental countdown of how long before she moved out and went to college. And I still can't get a phone call from her without cringing, even though we love each other. And I'm getting a stomach cramp even talking about it. Dang, I have to run.(tire to fix, and probably a yoga class for my screaming muscles) I'll read thenext one....later.
peace and joy,
