  1. I'm seeing a functional medicine doctor who deals with people who have chronic illnesses that the NHS don't really understand. He said that most of his patients who have tested positive for mould have parasite infections too. He said they very rarely show up on tests so he just treats his patients as though they have them.... I've been shitting literally thousands of worms and liver flukes since August. It's crazy.
  2. Yep, you're right. That's what I'm doing, focussing on getting better, physically and mentally.
  3. I've was diagnosed privately with mast cell activation syndrome, which is basically when the immune and nervous systems become dysregulated and see everything as a threat. I was having reactions to most food and nearly had a heart attack when I used hand sanitiser or moisturiser. The first 6 months was a very dark and scary time - everything I touched or put in my body caused a reaction. The initial treatment was to avoid all triggers (food, exercise, cosmetics, chemicals), take some drugs and I should get better. I never did. I then found out I'm riddled with parasites and have a mould infection. These could have been laying dormant before the jab or I could have picked them up whilst my immune system was down. The NHS don't test or treat mould illnesses, nor do they know much about parasites. They just did the standard blood and stool tests and, according to them, there was nothing wrong with me and it was likely just anxiety. It seems like the vaccine has targetted some people's weak spots. I thought I was fit and healthy but I obviously had something underlying that I wasn't aware of.
  4. Thank you for your kind words. Being chronically unwell is difficult enough as it is without being dismissed by the professionals who are supposed to be there for you and branded an anti-vax conspiracy theorist by society. It's no conspiracy that the vaccine has turned my life upside down and ended my childhood friend's life, leaving a daughter with no dad and wife without her husband. It's real and it's tragic. This needs to stop being politicised. People's lives are being ruined.
  5. I moved from London to Leeds in June 2021 to settle down with my fiancé and start a family. A few weeks before the move I had the first Covid jab and had an awful reaction. It's a really long story but the shock of the vaccine sent my immune system into overdrive and triggered an awful chronic illness that I've been battling since. I was compelely off work for 6 months and have only managed to return part-time from home. I've been pretty much housebound for the entire time, told to do whatever I can not to catch covid and, needless to say, had to give up this year's festival ticket. As you can probably imagine, having a debilitating chronic illness that completely turns your life upside down is extremely difficult to live with, causing depression and anxiety to worsen. I suffer from a whole host of physical, neurological and congnitive symptoms, I can't exercise and have a very strict diet due to a whole host of intolerances. Worse still, the NHS wanted nothing to do with me, they wouldn't consider the vaccine has caused this nor did I get past a GP. I spent - and am still spending - literally thousands on private doctors, who have diagnosed with a few different things and have all been inundated with vaccine injuries. Then my very close friend died in October. He was on holiday with his family and had a heart attack in a jacuzzi in front of his 5 year-old daughter. He was 36. A post-mortem showed that the heart attack was caused by myocarditis, which the NHS believed was caused by the vaccine (look it up). I'm not anti-vax, not by any stretch, but I strongly believe there'll be a lot of things that come out about this in years to come. There's a huge community of vaccine injured people, it's a real thing despite what you're led to believe. Though, for most, the vaccines have been safe - my friend and I were two of the unlucky few. Anyway, after a friend dying, 3 different doctors and thousands of pounds spent, I finally started to get somewhere with a diagnosis in the summer. Certain tests were coming back positive and I had a name for what's going on with me. Couple that with the my partner and I buying our first house together after renting, things were starting to look up. Literally 2 months after moving into our dream home, out of the blue my partner decided to end our 6-year relationship. This chronic illness has consumed me so much that I wasn't aware my relationship was on the rocks. I just wasn't getting any help from NHS doctors so I became obsessed with trying to figure this all out myself, leaving my fiancée without a partner. Not only have I lost the person I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with, I stand to lose thousands of my life savings as we have to sell the house. I'm 37 years old, have a chronic illness, unable to work full-time or live a normal life and now living back living with my parents. So a really shit 18 months and counting. I'm not sure it could have been any worse. I'm seeing a therapist to try and make sense of it all but it's been - and still is a - massive struggle. Dealing with a breakup is hard enough, it's ten times worse when you're battling with a chronic illness too.
