I’ll hit week two in a day. The last 48 hours, things have turned for the worse. Lots of pain in the colon and ilium, more frequent diarrhea that hurts and makes me nauseous afterwards, appetite is going down, and I had night sweats last night (though I slept with my heating pad.) I just feel sore and tired. I’m trying to find information on where the worms are right now; are they in the small intestine already? That would make sense for my symptoms, though usually it’s week 3 that people start to feel bad, though that’s with the first infection. I don’t know how subsequent infections work, if you aren’t hosting any worms.
Sometimes I just feel...like a dead chicken.
I think the “bounce” made me remember what it was like to feel a little well, and now that it’s past, I am reminded of how badly I am doing. I hope this doesn’t last too long. I am so tired of suffering…

Did you take steroids for the 1st 2 months?
Nope. Have been med free the whole time. (Well, I had to add an SSRI this last December and use Ambien some days out of the month, probably due to magnesium deficiency), but I took nothing to temper the side effects. I hate steroids and have always had a hard time coming off of them, and with no other medications to try, I didn’t want to have the experience of not being able to taper, if the worms didn’t work…
