Just did another McMaster egg count. Results: 850 – 950 epg. (I did it twice, but with the same stool sample.) I suppose I should do another stool sample to verify, but this is down from 1400 epg in January. Symptoms have been worse as well, the last month or so. More mucus, more urgency, a little pain in the ileal-cecal valve. What does it all mean? I did a blood test a few days ago, so it will be interesting to see what my CRP is.
Egg count is supposed to peak around 6 months, then decline. My last innocualation was the end of September, so 6 months ago. I wonder if we should reinfect twice a year, or if it’s based on the amount of worms you get and keep? Does egg count correlate with symptoms?
At least they’re still alive, so I have something to incubate. I’m off to the garden store to get some vermiculite. Then I’ll get my petri dish ready, and try to incubate again….
