colds?

[treebill14]

just curious about something. Since we have gotten this stuff, neither of us have had so much as a sniffle.
Every winter and sometimes summer as well, I would get bronchitis, then phenomena.For the past 22 years this came like clockwork, then we got some crazy unknown disease, almost 2 years ago. Since that day we have never gotten sick. Has anyone else noticed a change like this?

Hi Tree,
I have been thinking about that same thing all winter! i was born with bronchial,asthma and have been extremely sick most of my life i noticed i kihd of outgrew my bronchitis it definitely has subsided over the past few yrs. does it leave that area of our bodies? i think possibly it moves on to other areas .but my children are starting to get those nasty sinus infections that are basically resistant to antibiotics amd brutal nasty infections. did you guys get those also? i suffered for at least five years almost non stop now that has subsided also.but i understand what you are saying i feel the same way like its some sort of pattern year asfter year.
When you say strange sicknesses do mean ike a stomach flu every year that came at the same time and seemed to last exactly the same amount of time when it came every year?i did that also.

Hi Robin,
We have what seems to be this Morgelons. My problems were not caring enough, and smokin way too much. Just weird, since getting Morgelons, we haven't been sick at all

I use to suffer from cold sores. Haven't had a single one since being overtaken by Morgellons. Strange.

Teresa keeps trying to think positive. The way the stuff "heals" over so quick, and we never get sick. She keeps hoping its the cure for cancer. Or some burn unit should put this bug to work, making skin, for burn patients. I don't know,, OBVIOUSLY, but was curios about not getting sick Thanks for your posts Eric

Same here. I haven't had the flu or a cold since getting M's - nothing. I find that amazing.

So how do we find out why?

I posted about this recently too. I haven't had one either. Strange.

Just so damn strange. In one hand, this makes ones life unbearable, but in the other no sicknesses. I don't miss time in hospital, every year for pneumonia, but would trade it for my wife to have her life back

I cannot say this was always true in my case. When I was first sick about nine months into M I got a bad case of the flu. My TCM friend would always try to treat me when pulse indicated flu (it is easy to diagnose using this method). I was always fighting off the flu for the first year. The time I came down with it, I was unable to see her because she was not in town. After that I do not remember getting any colds or sore throat symptoms, but there were times that I had to use certain TCM formulas to fight off symptoms when they first started to show up in my pulse. By this time my friend had moved and I was on my own unless seeking out help from others so I paid close attention to my symptoms and treated immediately with TCM formulas (common teapills) before they worsened. I learned how to read the flu/cold pulse while in the TCM clinic observing. Anyway, I was always prone to low grade infections of some sort after I became sick as I would run a temperature which was indicative of a low grade fever, 99-99.4 degrees. This happened nearly every day until I begin using some of the pharmaceutical medications I am on now. So, no, I would not say I was totally free of infection and/or flu/colds because of Morgellons type symptoms.

My more recent CBC showed some elevation in white blood count which is good as I was on the very low end for years, nearly out of range low before. This fall when I got the annual feeling that I was hosting some stage of parasites my CBC indicated an extremely high elevation in esoinophil levels, way out of range high. This can indicate allergies but it also can indicate parasites and I found out later that it was a parasite infection through testing. So that is why I now have some help for these issues, but of course I had to find another doctor to interpret the test results that another more conventional doctor ran on me. That conventional doctor did not even discuss the finding with me, nor indicate in anyway that I should have additional testing for parasites. LOL.

I cannot say that herbs ever controlled all of what I have been experiencing as they did not, nor was I recovering from the bacterial and viral infections I have had since becoming ill despite some very good efforts by some TCM practitioners. Some infections are so strong that there is no choice (IMO), but to try the pharmaceutical route. I know that none of this is easy to decide. Since I have more energy now, more than I have had in quite some time it was the right path for me. I still continue to use herbs to supplement the drugs as I think that drugs are also not able to control all issues, especially since drugs are hard on certain body organs. So using herbs to prevent damage from the drugs is hopefully what I can accomplish. As with anything related to M quite often we are on our own. I just make sure not to take any herbs close to the time I take the drugs which is about all I can do to prevent unwanted interactions.
