Ok, this is my first time posting. My whole family is in a state of misery and depression.
I caught "something" back in February, on a plane down to Texas.
Anyhow, a month or so later, started itching, then hives, then to doctor, prescribed sterioids cuz she "thought" it was allergies, but she DID mention scabies, and described symptoms. At that time, no one else in the family had it.
Then after a couple of weeks, I DID start seeing "burrows" and the classis signs of scabies. By this time, my whole family had "it". Ok, we used permethrin, and what happened is..the lil buggers went up into our face, in our ears, in my elderly moms eyes, and in our hair. I have called everyone that will listen that should know what to do, and they all say "That shouldnt happen". Called nursing homes as I read it does sometimes happen in the elderly. Doctors are useless, and you really arent supposed to use the permethrin or lindane on eyelids, in ears, etc.
I started all kinds of natural stuff but was still getting bitten, finally ordered some sulfur and have been mixing my own cream, that seems to help but now we have chased them ALL up to our heads/eyes/ears/hair. Now, can anyone tell me is this scabies, or something else.
We have done over one hour baths in Neem/Tea Tree/Vicks/Salt/Borax/Oregano/Rosemary/Coconut oil. Whew, what a chore. Mopped with ammonia, they are worse around the computer.
All of our faces feel like we have taken sandpaper to them! Its sooo depressing, we have taken ALL the rugs out of the house, mopped repeatedly, washed and washed and washed in hot water and dryer. We have spent over $1500 so far and are in despair.
Went to dermatologist last week, he prescribed sulfur antibiotics, the rest of the family can take, but I am allergic. Finally ordered some Cats Claw and have been taking that for a week, and Oregano tablets, as well as L-Lysine, and Magnesium/Calcium/Zinc pills. It doesnt seem to do much either, tho.
Doc said samples we brought in just looked like "skin flakes".
I have ordered EcoVie, but I didnt mention Lymebusters for a discount, I was in such a state that I am ready to order anything.
Any ideas, how can we "FIND" out what we have when the doctors wont take the time to try to diagnose it??? I feel like we are the most miserable human beings on the planet (I know you all can relate) and just want our life back.
We are also very spiritual, but at this time, its a trial, for sure.
Has anyone else had scabies go to their face and eyes, even bites in the eyelids and inside corners of the eyes? And what in the heck do you DO for it?
miserable in the midwest
