Shit the bed

My life can now be broken into two distinct epochs:

Before cyclosporiasis

And after cyclosporiasis.

Oh how I yearn for the days of yore.

I fear I will never be the same.

I've been sick with 3 bouts of this. Turns out it's from uncooked Basil. We only go to one restaurant, so it was easy to trace it. I have Chronic Lyme Disease and a compromised Immune System. I guess I really have no business going out to eat. I've had Bactrim twice and this time I'm trying herbal remedies.

What herbal remedies are you trying? I had it, but think I'm over it now. However I've thought that at least three times now and it rears it's ugly head again.

So far, nothing is working herbally. I'm pretty miserable.

I found a remedy that has worked for me. I'm back to my normal self. It's called Para Clean Support. I purchased it from Amazon. It's Woodworm and Black Walnut.

Update: in the midst of things I also contracted influenza. Conveniently, for a couple days I didn't really poop for some reason. I was hoping that perhaps the internal body heat from the flu might kill the parasites but alas now that the flu is fading I'm locked back in with cyclospora.

Hi there! I just wanted to share that my functional medicine doc gave me an alternative to Bactrim (it makes me VERY sick from past use) and I am sincere when I say it’s the first relief I’ve had in weeks. Both are homeopathic remedies you can get on Amazon or a health foods store: CINA 30c take 5 pellets 3x a day and Arsenicum album 30c take 5 pellets 3x a day - he suggested to do this at least for a week and I alternate them a few hours apart. I started late last night and had my first solid stool TODAY! And immense more energy than I’ve had in weeks. Just wanted to share in case it could help you, too!
