miraculous garlic

Well oh my.  The doctor never even inquired to check for parasites, a condition technically that could have been treated with over the counter or simple prescription, but only after a stool test.   Yet here I am after three days of treating for parasites, feeling alive again.  Oh I've got a lot of resting and mending still, but I"m not racing to the toilet every five or ten minutes and I slept last night and today feel optimistic for the first time in too long to remember!
I don't know why but searching symptom-first failed to turn up a single mention of parasites.  My doctor never mentioned it.  Well, all she really did was act sympathetic and send a letter to a GE, and I'm sure it was the secretaries who did it.  So but as soon as I thought of it and searched it there it was clear as 8 bit text on a green screen.  My symptoms matched properly which they didnt' for any other condition including IBS.  They were loosely similar to other things but not almost exact.  I lacked symptoms indicating a bug that exits the anus to lay eggs. But the rest, wow, it's amazing how much they affect emotionally as well as physically!  Those fuckers take over your hypothalamus and try to drive you to ensure you behave in a way that suits their needs instead of your own.  The sugar cravings, for instance.
So I ran into some lists of herbs and dug through my stores but it's the garlic I think mostly doing it. I take 2 tsp of it in broth 2x-3x a day, nice and strong and stinky, but minced so the garlic just swallows down.  Just wow.
So I'm not going to die and Dan's been doing great at treating me well.  Better than I expected, he was solicitous with me yesterday, cleaning out the truck seat really well, helping me avoid getting dirty from the mud on the side, and helping me walk on the ice.  Treating me like his wife, not his side kick.  Finally.
I mean, if he can stay this way, we can stay married!  I can be good to him because I won't feel like I'm screwing myself up being nice to someone who only turns around and treats me like shit.  I won't resent him, feel anger and sometimes hate, and that means I can be nice because he is!  So basically everything looks better today.  Well except the mini-menstruation that came back with my returning health. Damn. I thought I was finally done with that shit after four months of clean!
