;D
I just wanted to let you all know that I am glad to find your group.
I believe I became infected with this stuff in May of 2005. I was first diagnosed with scabies. My body was covered with bites. Was given all of the usual treatments...elimite..etc. It seemed to clear up on its own. This year it came back with a vengence In Dec. 2006.
It started with facial sores..poppy seed like dots and fibers. The Dr. just called me and "interesting case" and sent me to a dermotologist. I've been told I have parasite phobia and also given the dermotologist a slide of a "spring tail" which he mockingly referred to as "schmutz." But he did give me ivermectin which seemed to help for a while.
I became so frustrated with the itching I went through the following drug regimin: elimite, ivermectin, lindane, ovide, then in desperation, pyrethrin (sp?) (nix) which is an over the counter lice med...(I don't have lice but was desperate) After assaulting my skin with all of these chemicals I ended up causing more harm than good and gave myself a nice case of shingles!!!! Not so nice.
I am currently trying Pin-X which is actually an over the counter med for pinworms..which are nematodes. First dose seemed to clear up sores on my chest. Taking a second dose in two weeks.
To find relief I take a daily regimen of Vit-C, folic acid, multi-vitamin. Baking soda applied directly to scalp on wet hair made into a paste then shampoo with any tea tree shampoo. For the sores...I just use peroxide on a q-tip. If you use Bag Balm or Watkins Petro Carbo Salve..worms crawl out and sores seem to heal some.
Well that is all I have to say for now sorry for rambling on. lol
Good luck to us all in finding relief and hopefully a cure some day!!
Sincerely,
Bugsy
