What Causes Severe Backache And Sciatica?

Hello Doctor I am a 67 yr old wht female I have worked with animals most of my life, from domestic to exotic, cheetahs, chimps, etc. Twenty yrs ago I developed a severe back problem after an extreme case of sciatica Fat forward to now, I have no medical doctor, other than chiropractor and occasional acupuncture Current Health Issues In the Extreme: Possible tape worm just collected after fast, pomegranates and oxygen just yesterday. Up to that point, blood and feces come back neggative for parasites. Other mainstream difficulties 1. Have not been able to walk upright for over 20 yrs now Back straightens up but cannot remain erect as muscle will not hold torso upp, so after about 15 steps i FALL FORWARD AND CANNOT HOLD MYSELF UPRIGHT TO WALK. 2. Moregellions in my hair, face all over of recent QUESTION; Is it possible the parasites weakened my back and stomach muscles and caused the back issue ? How to get rid of these damn Morgellons? Is there a cure as I am going nuts bathing three times a day and lost over half of my hair. Have recent cloudy mental and difficulty breathing Live in So Cal No insurance other than Medicare as I lost my job due to Morgellons.

Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern. As you have mentioned the blood test and stool test came negative for parasites,you can be assured that it is not the parasite that is causing you severe back pain.
In my opinion, firstly you need to see a GP for your back pain as chiropractor and acupuncture will help you only with the symptoms and will not help you with finding the root cause of pain. As you have mentioned about no insurance and only medicare at your hand, GP is the best option in your case. No expensive specialist or diagnostic test is need other than x-ray and then pain relief medication will be provided only after checking your x-ray and a detail physical examination.
Secondly, the hair fall could be due to anything from advancing age, poor diet, low blood levels, thyroid disorder. Regardless of cause a balanced diet will help you with the issue, add a whole egg to your diet as it contain biotin and a single daily dose of multivitamin like Centrum. Do not expect quick results as it may take a few months to replenish the nutrient stores of body.
Lastly, the complain of Morgellons and cloudy mind with breathing difficulty can be helped only by your own effort. Morgellons is a delusional parasitosis, which could have started due to your occupation which involved being in close proximity of animals. Just be assured that you have no parasite living inside or upon you. Convey it to your mind and body that you are free from parasite. That itself will take care your issue without spending time or money at a psychiatrist for behavioral therapy or medications. In case of no improvement seeing a psychiatrist will be of great help.
If there is anything else you need to know do send us your health query at HCM. We will be happy to help. Thank you.
