10/9/2010 7:36:41 PM | Tessi, I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better. Regarding MMS and Bactrim I do have some thoughts. I have had Morgellons for many years although I only recognized it as Morgellons in 2008. Over the decades it would wax and wane. I would feel run down with excessive fatigue and would have the "Spheres", Little grains of sand, tiny white rice, or whatever you want to call them appear. Usually rest and carefully watching my diet for a few months would return me to good health. Over the years I have been on any number of antibiotics, including Bactrim, for extended periods of time. I started taking MMS in late 2007 out of desperation. I was not doing well and no amount of rest, diet, or antibiotics would stop my deterioration. I had to work up my dose of MMS very slowly. It was only when I hit 3 drops activated that things started to come out of my body that were identifiable as Morgellons. I take a different sulfa drug from Bactrim. I have little choice in antibiotics since the sulfa drug I take is the drug of choice for one of my health conditions. It has the same mechanism of action, for the most part, as Bactrim. I don't know if Bactrim is necessary for recovery from Morgellons. I know Mel feels it is important and I believe it may help speed recovery. The point is: I know of no way other than MMS to eliminate Morgellons. If you are concerned about adverse effects of MMS you may find my post entitled MMS: A gentler approach helpful. I have included it below for your convience. PS PS 4/16/2010 4:52:55 PM I decided to start MMS at a low dose due to previous experiences with Herxheimer Reactions from pharmaceuticals drugs. My Morgellons is complicated by Rheumatological conditions, allergies, and intolerances. Past experience with pharmaceutical drugs indicated that starting with a low dose and slowly working up would minimize the Herxheimer Reaction. I decided to start at 1drop daily, a low dose for me at over 6 feet and 220lbs. I planned to stay at 1 drop daily for one week. On day three I had a very severe Herxheimer Reaction. I was able to quell the Herxheimer Reaction by taking 500mg of Vitamin C. Just like I'd read it would. I decided to continue with MMS but at a much lower dose, a 1/4drop daily. Even this low dose gave me a mild Herxheimer Reaction. Once again I used Vitamin C to stop the Herxheimer Reaction. In 20 - 20 Hindsight: I would start at 1/4 drop daily working up by each week by 1/4 drop as tolerated. Always remembering Vitamin C will neutralize the MMS thus quelling the Herxheimer Reaction. |
