This is what it's like to have them:    (You need to Login; This is the large female that is in my left hand.  Bear something in mind here.  I packed these for many years with no idea that I had them.  They were down in my legs producing microfilaria.  After getting strongyloides from cats, I managed to kick up an immune response that I'd not had for many years, and the hands is where the immune response chased them to.  They're prisoners now.  My Lyme disease Dr. has volunteered to remove the big one, but I want to try some other herbals first.  She's not going anywhere, I keep some anthelminthic herbals circulating in my blood to make sure she stays there.  I can't wait to get pics of her out of there, so I can send them to the stupid Muslim Dr. who said, "Dat neuropathy, I am the Dr."!  For you vets, I checked with the VA, linked them to the same vid, and I got a response!  They set me up with a young Dr., but I am leery!  I've had a Dr and a hospital claim I was delusional, and I'm not interested in spending time around a bunch of people who really are!  So, I think I'll let my Lyme Dr. have at her.  More trust there, as she is learning about herbals from me.
