Weeks 12-14: Rollercoaster

So I’m redosing by 2′s and 3′s, every week or every other week. When dosed right before my period, it is a disaster…fever and diarrhea within hours. Sometimes the larvae makes me happy. I want to stand on my hands in the garden, and I feel at peace with the world. It varies considerably.

Sometimes I itch terribly when they go in. Then I get a systemic itching, where I’m scratching for days. The itch seems to get worse with each dose. I never got an itch with the first dose of 10. Interesting.

But I don’t know if adding more is actually working. I seem to be getting better, but then things will swing back and I am up at night with diarrhea again.

I’ve had a few nights in a row where I slept through the night! And then I drink wine and eat salad, and I am shitting all over my underwear. Will the hookworm ever bring me to a steady state?

I have gained considerable weight, though. So that is something grand. All of my “sick” pants are tight. I will have to weight myself when I go for my doctor’s appointment early May.

I wonder if this will work fully for me. Sometimes I am excited, on the good days. And then I wonder if I should have redosed at all, and just waited for the initial 10 to do their wonders.
