Successful Inoculation: Hookworm Trial 3

5/15/2013

Hi all,

I received my batch of HW yesterday, and the inoculation seems to have been very successful (see photo below) with a lot of itching and many little red dots. I'm very excited and feel like my journey will now begin!

On the not so positive side- I do seem to be having some really bad stomach pain, and associated symptoms. It feels like it could be related to the actual Crohn's, but I haven't had a morning this bad in a while, which leads me to believe it could also be a result of my " worm-friends". If this persists, I may contact my doctor and go on a short course of prednisone, but I'll wait and see because I really hate prednisone.

Thanks for reading!
