'Hello' to everyone!
I wanted to let you know there is yet another person who can relate to nearly everything you are or have been going through. Not that any of us are glad to see another has this, but I know we are all glad to see we are not alone with the twighlight zone.
It has been just a little over 3 months now that my 'lifemare' began, and I think it may have all started with a bird mite infestation, then proceeded to this. OR it may have been this all along...who knows. If I'd have known it wasn't the former, I'd have never moved and gotten rid of nearly everything I owned, but I sure as heck would have gotten rid of a lot of it. I just miss my beautiful unobstructed view of Mount Rainier & the Cascades!
But, having said all that, I will say this: I have accepted the fact that I have to deal with this, and that I am not going to let it rob me of what I do have left. And that is the ability to say that regardless of the circumstances I find myself in, I am going to make the best of it the best I can, when I can, how I can. And some days, that may be just to get up and make myself eat, or wash my bedding and take a bath and or shower.
Not being able to be around my precious family & friends is very difficult for me, and at times has been just heartwrenching. My Grandson who will be 5 this month was used to living next door to me, then at least spending a third of his time with me for quite a while. At minimal, he used to get to spend at least a few days every two or three weeks. So, I understand what it is like to feel the loss, and it hurts. I give all of my Grandchildren over to the Lord Jesus in prayer, because that wieght is more than I can bear.
I had just started a very healthy diet for my liver (hep c pos here), after being bed ridden off and on for over 6 years. I was just starting to feel TERRIFIC, lots of energy & bounce back in my step. I even RAN one time up the stairs...hadn't ran in YEARS! I'd dropped off about 1/3 of the 100lbs I'd gained while being bed ridden & sick off and on, and thought I was getting my life back! Was looking forward to starting back up in ministry with my pastor friends, getting to start spending more time with my Grandchildren...then it all began....the bites...the itching...
There were starling nests in the walls of my otherwise great apt. And I also live right under the flight pattern for Mc Chord Air Force Base, as well as the South end of the Sea Tac flight pattern. Who knows where this stuff came from or how it entered our lives...but I know that it came from the pit of hell. Yes, it has been difficult, especially after thinking I was just getting my life back & feeling so good! I got rid of and cleaned and sold everything I owned thinking I was moving to get away from any further problems with bird mites...got moved into a different place (no view of my precious Mountain ) and after fasting & using garlic & vinegar thinking it would repel any bugs...I started finding so much 'lint'...my bathroom floor was covered with tuquoise 'lint' after I'd shower and change clothes.
I too, got to find out how non supportive & even abusive some Drs & nurse can be...was given a letter to my family saying it was 'SAFE' for me to be around them. Just so I'd 'get back around the ones I love' the Drs thought, and my 'mental health would improve' But I didn't really feel they knew what they were talking about. One Dr told me we all have some little 'worms' in us, and not to look any more through a magnifier. Well, one time I cleaned the bathroom, and looked at a piece of 'lint' off the back of my toilet tank, and watched it moving and reaching all around, so uh, yeah, I asked that DR. WHY would it be, that now instead of finding any tiny bug biting or stinging, me or when I feel a pin prick, I find one of the black fibers instead??? And WHY would they be on the outside of my body? He said he didn't know. You guys all know the rest of the story I'm sure...
So here I sit, knowing that life as I knew it has changed drastically, and I must now go on, gather all the information I can, make as many contacts as I can, and FIGHT to get this issue, which definitely is NOT a disease, although it sure as heck causes 'dis ease' (being uncomfortable).
First things first, I need to get myself as healthy and rested up as possible, and make sure I gather proven information on cleaning my home and car, and body & clothing...which most of I'd already been hitting like crazy trying to get rid of 'bird mites'. But, I want to be as efficient as possible without wearing myself down or robbing a bank, to have the healthiest body I can at the least expence, and keep my home and laundy as clean from the fibers and other strange things that have emerged from this affliction.
The first fibers I noticed, were the shorter black ones, and the turquoise/blue. AFTER that, although still at the what is this stage, I bought a pack of COTTON SOCKS from _ollar _ree, and guess what I saw on them? Black fibers JUST LIKE the ones I was seeing on ME! I tried to share this info as many of you have, with my so called Dr. And he help up his hand, and said straight to the Psychiatrist with you! (Since then, I've seen that same thing about socks from that same store on two other posts) I nolonger want anything made in CHINA!
Then, a couple of weeks ago, I was looking for more info on the NET...and found what was wrong with me.
Two days ago, I had a long talk with my youngest Daughter, my Grandsons Mom & Mother to 15 mo old twins as well, and she says she believes me. That her and my other Daughter, and her Husband all said there are just way too many of us with the VERY SAME symptoms on here. They knew what I'd been saying was happening to me all along, and then read all the others with those same things going on. They now accept what I'd carefully and in small doses had been trying to share.
OK...pretty long into, huh?
Since I came to understand I have a combo thingytail from hell going on, I've had hair off of my head that is not my own moving when plucked out...seen the evil little not so looking like fibers cuz they are so big now creatures moving under the skin on my shoulder, and splitting it open.
Thing is, I don't even believe in anything like this, but hey, whatdaya know?
It's me, sitting here with it all,
praying4usall, in Tacoma Wa.
Bless you all, and I really am praying for us all.
I'll try not to be so lengthy next time!
And by the way, I will Rejoice for this is the day that the Lord has made...even if I have to FORCE myself to!
Anyone here from Tacoma, or know of anyone with this in the Seattle Tacoma area??? ( I'm LONELY)!!
Love to all,
Celia
