As promised to Robert and "staff" at the PMRA, here are the symptoms I have documented since spraying with Malathion began in Winnipeg last week.  Although this will be difficult since I am moving right now, I will attempt to update these symptoms until they return to the state of health I enjoyed before fogging started.  Although I cannot prove that all of these symptoms are caused by exposure to the nerve toxin, I can say for sure that I was not experiencing these symptoms before.

Warning:  There is far more information than anyone may ever want to know about me; I have attempted to describe what's happening to my body in detail.  If you're squeamish, you may want to pass.

Transcribed as recorded in my journal on Wednesday, June 27:

"I promised Robert @ PMRA (and a few others) that I would document my symptoms until I return to the state of health I enjoyed before fogging.

So, in random order (and as I write, I choose to release)

headache:  the steel band had been replaced by a dull ache, but it's come back; sinus and eye pain continue
bodyaches:  overall aching, particularly in the joints
gastrointestinal:  continuing occasional nausea, no further vomiting, the severe intestinal cramping has subsided--it was most notable yesterday morning, very loose bowels irritating painful hemerroids
nervous system/joint function:  swelling, first noticed in the right index finger knuckle, has progressed thru the hand and up the right arm, occasional severe moments of tinnitus, generally always there in the background, crying has slowed down considerably, anxiety level is steadily returning down to baseline, racing heart is becoming less frequent
immune system:  skin lesions have reopened, armpits and groin are painful and swollen, breast lump is once again increasing in size, becoming harder and more painful, cold sores spontaneously appear
general (I don't know what system):  sleep is difficult, body is painful and I am experience severe night sweats which tend to keep me awake, apetitite is slowly returning, weight loss is spontaneous and unwelcome (I am now down to 117 pounds), still experiencing difficulty concentrating

Healing Protocol:
-epsom salt detox baths, alternating fluids (herbal tea blends, electrolytes, echinecia, chlorophyll, reishi muchroom) {and avoiding alcohol}, other medicinal herbs, walking, visualization, directed intention, and aromatherapy.  Massage.

I resisted the urge to purchase an antihistamine.

All of this has been costly and time-consuming.  I have to pack and move."
