Alright, so for those of you not familiar with my ivermectin journey, I took ivermectin 2 weeks ago and it knocked out a very nasty flu in under 4 hours. In that time a few other health issues I was having the last couple years also cleared up and I feel actually overall healthy for the first time in a very long time. The improvements in my health have been what I would consider miraculous.
I'm pretty sure I had some sort of intestinal parasite, for the last few years I thought my digestion issues were due to poor diet choices, but it turns out I can eat or drink whatever I want, because whatever was causing my digestion issues the last 2 years has been resolved.
The severe arthritis that I've had the last few years has disappeared. When I first noticed that my thumb didn't hurt anymore I thought "no way it was the ivermectin", but I googled "ivermectin arthritis" and discovered that it is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. And its incredible, Its been over a week since I took ivermectin and my thumb still feels great. I don't know how long its going to continue not hurting, but its been amazing this whole week without enduring that pain.
A few years ago I started getting these very strange whiteheads on my knees and inner thigh, they would travel down to the bottom of my calf but never went much further. I don't know what was causing them but they are all gone now. Every single one of them. I've had these for years and was so confused as to why only on this specific area of my legs, but they all disappeared, and this makes no sense to me.
On top of that my mind seems so clear it almost feels like I have been on auto-pilot the last few years and I have finally taken manual control. I'm generally happier than I've been in a VERY long time. Even with all the current madness and all the bullshit that's happened the last few years, I am genuinely happy with my existence.
Look, I don't know what exactly ivermectin is doing, but I do know that it has changed my fucking life and it is fucking incredible. I can not put into words just how amazing it is. I could legit cry. Its fucking amazing.
I took the durvet apple flavored paste. I took 1 notch of the plunger per 50lbs. I took a dose on day 1, day 3 then a dose 6 days later, which was 9 days ago.
Thank you! I am also taking it, every 48 hours 12 mg, and haven't noticed drastic changes like you mention. I'm hopeful it does work, mil vet here (meaning extremely vax'd, poisoned) and I'm probably looking at a longer recovery process. I do feel it working (stomach issues are a tad bit better, not as cloudy in the head), but the arthritis and joint/bone pain are still 100%.
You could have the more common osteoarthritis instead of rheumatoid arthritis. Virtually everyone over 40 has some degree of OA discernible on xray.
One way to differentiate is bilateral symmetry: if the exact same joints hurt on both sides of the body, it's likely RA. If they're different, it won't be RA.
TY.
Heck yea...that's me! both sides and it ebbs and flows with more flow than ebb.
I'm doing the same dosage-frequency as OP but have had to do a MUCH longer treatment to achieve same results. I think I had a bad case of parasites and that their eggs were encysted and have taken a very long time to get rid of.
It's my understanding that IVM works on the nervous systems of the parasites and that they have to be out of their egg phase and eating to get the poison in them.
Thank you
Did you mix it with anything, like honey? Also, I take HCQ for lupus - I’m still not clear if HCQ and Ivermectin act the same way. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Ivermectin should be taken on an empty stomach. For the paste, just put it on a spoon and drink some water. It doesn’t taste bad at all. I can’t answer your question on how HCQ and IVM work differently in the body, but I don’t believe they function the same way. There are a number of unbiased drug information websites out there that detail them. Just look for articles and studies from before 2020. Anything more recent may be biased.
