People are suffering. IMO, DP is a lazy dx. If it is DP, why are many doctors reportedly not going anywhere near patients during the exam? I showed my cardiologist a pic taken with my cell phone's macro lens; he SAID it was a mite and then bolted from the exam room. After viewing a few of my worst pics (and there are plenty, my pcp said, 'you could be in a horror show.' Neither doctor helped me. If not for my resourc3fulness, I am certain I would be dead by now. I also have severe heart failure because of a serious medical mistake wherein I ended up on a ventilator for 5 days fighting for my life. The doctors do not care as I am single and 'older' female, a marginalized group that ni one relly cares about in the USA. I planned on travelling after I retired, having worked hard for 45 years...instead, I suffer daily. This skin issue is the latest crappy thing (that I know of) to befall those least able to fight back.
Maureen supported: No One Should Suffer from Scabies: Fund a Vaccine & Drug-Resistance Research Now!I’ve dealt with this ungodly misery for 11 years. Haven’t been able to visit friends family or date in 11 years. Have poisoned myself beyond belief lost my gall bladder probably because of poisoning myself. The cures Don’t Work at all anymore. And if there is a successful case it is likely due to the person being young and having a powerful immune system to help. I had it at age 17 and used the leftover bottle of Permethrin my cousin gave me from treating her son which I got it from and on Thanksgiving! It was a quarter of a tube and she didn’t say anything about cleaning anything. Went home and took a bath and put a Little here and There maybe covered 10% of my body and that was it done itching gone completely by day 2. So I know Post Scabies some doctors tell people that itching for weeks after treatment is normal!! No it isn’t if they are Dead like in my case it will be gone in no more than 3 days. Having caught it again from my aunt which has been having it for around 30 years just doesn’t treat because she has no immune response so it doesn’t bother her. My life has been destroyed. If I had this and no cure being younger I’d have killed myself years ago. Since I’m old the symptoms aren’t as bad. But it still destroys a person’s life because of isolation. If I also wasn’t on Disability I would have killed myself jumping in front of a big rig because having a Job and suffering from scabies makes Working impossible. I have tried Throwing absolutely everything I owed away. No furniture no cookware no nothing just my phone which I’d disinfect constantly and still can’t beat them. I’ve tried wrapping myself in Duct tape suffering badly trying to suffocate them. I’ve injected animal medicine in my anus and eaten poison to try anything to live normal again. And so much more. I shouldn’t be alive. Why stay alive anyway? So I can exist to continue being a parasite’s breakfast lunch and dinner? Countless clueless doctors telling me and others that we are just crazy to make us suffer more so they can protect themselves from a Lawsuit by admitting us in a mental hospital so we can really suffer much much more because in there we can’t do anything to give ourselves any relief. I could go on and on. There is way more people infected in the world than what’s diagnosed and known because weak immune system people typically don’t suffer they just live with it like my aunt spreading it.
Tim supported: No One Should Suffer from Scabies: Fund a Vaccine & Drug-Resistance Research Now!I have been suffering for 3 years with endless trips to hospitals doctors specialists and they say I'm crazy this is a real disease and us people suffering need help and the doctors tried to lock me up in push wards for having a disease they choose to ignore please help us this is debilitating life altering and gets harder everyday to live please help us PLEASE HEAR US WE ARE CRYING OUT FOR HELP!!!!!
Cindy supported: No One Should Suffer from Scabies: Fund a Vaccine & Drug-Resistance Research Now!Doctors act like I’m crazy. I have gone in with horrible symptoms they referred me to a dermatologist. I’ve done countless hours of research trying to get rid of them spend 1,000s of dollars on everything possible to help get them out. I cant be around my family i lost my job. Its been going on 2 yrs i cannot get rid of these horrible disgusting parasites.
Lisa supported: No One Should Suffer from Scabies: Fund a Vaccine & Drug-Resistance Research Now!I have been suffering from scabies for 2 years now. I bought my home 14 years ago on the country outside a City that I was involved in, my neighbor was wonderful and I knew everyone in town
.Then I got scabies. Went to the Dr. Said I had a fungal infection and everything else was in my head. Had an ER visit said I was feeling delusional parasites gave me a therapist paper to check into. Next thing I know I refuse Dr.s of any type because that once stand up and speak your mind woman I was was gone, I was getting too sick to fight for myself. I gave up. Today I can't finish any job I start, I can't ride my Harley, I can't keep up with my acres or my home. I can't pay my bills on time even if the money is there, I can't make a correct decision to save my life. I've lost my 27 year relationship, the boy, now a man that I adopted 37 years ago and gave up my life at 26 to do it, I have no friends left they have all passed, and a sister I haven't seen in 20 years. That's all them and this is me fighting for my life in a war that this side has one. I can't go into town they think I'm nuts. I would like to say your right now I am fucking delusional with the infections ECT.. I fight alone. So here I am, once a business owner, I had a good name, great job, everything I ever needed debt free on my own. I would of traded it all for a cure for this but now I've lost everything except my home. I can't explain how much money I've been through trying to get rid of these little bastards. Someone said there's started when they parked by a tree. Mine started when I parked in a tight single place between two old railroad ties that I put down 14 years ago.. My truck first, then my home. I can't fight anymore. I've chosen to stop fighting them and try to get where it's the least painful and let my life end whenever they've chewed enough on me or I decide enough is enough. I want to say "Shame The Hell On You" Public workers who aren't knowledgeable enough on most anything so the patient who suffers had to suffer more from the name you so called medical providers put on us, because your not very bright and need an escape goat for your lack of knowledge or lack of intelligence to learn anything outside the common cold. We suffer. I can only hope something happens soon and I have little, hope left because the last money I have will be for an autopsy and maybe then they will do something big, like care about the people and stop making up excuses. I'm living proof of how it changes your life completely and everyone is equal and everyone deserves a chance in life to not suffer on a daily basis, day on day out. Think about it if your a medical provider, what are you going to do when you, your family, Someone close to you get scabies? You going to sell them out too. I believe that.. Peace and prayers go out to each and every one of you that has scabies, or will get scabies, a parasite or something else, fight hard. If your young keep up the fight for those who can't fight anymore. Be kind!! Thanks for reading.
Robin supported: No One Should Suffer from Scabies: Fund a Vaccine & Drug-Resistance Research Now!This drug has helped me lose weight resulting in relief of some of the chronic pain I suffer from on a daily basis . I could barely wear a bra from the pain. I tried for 4 months to lose the same weight I just lost in 4 weeks. What happened after I lost it killing by body to do so and not being able to do anything but exercise an hour a day? Prednisone for a month for autominnue issues put it back on in 3 weeks. Why should we have surgeries when we can prevent other diseases, improve our health and our quality of life? Because the 1% loses money. I stopped taking other medications since taking this. Stop being gready! You hand out needles to addicts let the public have the tools they need to assist in their long term health goals. Anything else is just being grimey lowlife drug dealers
Christina supported: Help Secure Permanent Affordable Access to GLP-1 MedicationsAfter using other weight loss drugs, my primary doctor prescribed GLS-1. It is not covered by my insurance, only one of the several pharmacies carry the brand prescription and I can not afford to pay the costs of brand prescriptions. I have arthritis in both my knees and it is imperative that I lose weight. If the compound medication is not available I will not be able to use this medication.
Susan supported: Help Secure Permanent Affordable Access to GLP-1 MedicationsAs someone who struggles with insulin resistance PCOS it’s not a matter of if but WHEN I will have diabetes. It’s awful that we have medication at our hands that can prevent diabetes yet we’re not allowed to have it without being diabetic. Not to mention diabetes automatically cuts your life short and I’m a parent of a special needs child and can not have my life cut short due to something my body can not control. These companies need to do better!
Briana supported: Help Secure Permanent Affordable Access to GLP-1 MedicationsI can't afford big pharma prices and they do this on purpose. This is the only solution for me and now to have it being taken away while the rich enjoy is just another slap in the face. I just want to be healthy and happy in a body I can rely on.
