Does anyone else watch this show? I was interested in watching the episode where the guy had a sprouting pea in his lung. I haven't been able to, since just about every time it comes on, I'm either at an art class or somewhere else. Is it a good show?

I watched some episodes on YouTube. I learned that there are lots of parasites that burrow into the brain and eat the brain. One girl had worms in her eye. Don't eat unwashed raw vegetables. There are full of snail slime with rat lungworm. I am interested in this sprouting pea now.

My mom and my psychiatrist have forbidden me to watch this show and another medical show, Untold Stories of the ER, because both of them give me anxiety and sometimes even cause me to have hypochondria. Once after watching Untold Stories of the ER, I had bouts of nausea every day for about 3 weeks that culminated in a rash on my arm, and both went away after I talked about the episode I watched and why it bothered me. That's when Mom and my psych banned me from watching that show. I got banned from watching Monsters Inside Me because it caused me such bad anxiety that my wrists got tight and I was afraid of breaking them if I moved them too much.

It's a great show. I love it. But some don't like it because well some of the things said are yucky! But if you have a strong institution then go for it!

I think I have munchausens syndrome which is basically EXTREME hypochondria

I used to watch this all the time. I liked it a lot. I don't have tv anymore, though.

It's really interesting to me because biology and medical stuff are special interests of mine.

Yeah....I know......cable is exorbitantly expensive. There is much good TV. I hope you are able to get it back soon, Yingerin.

Hey, Monsters Inside Me was the scat back in my teenage years! Literally the best "creepy" offering from Animal Planet - and the most realistic one, too. A lot of medical workers could learn so much from these (IMHO) purposely overpowered parasites and how to get rid of them.

I have Netflix and other apps to stream tv shows and movies to my tv. But I've found that once I stopped paying for tv, I watch a lot less. I think it takes more work to search for things that you want to watch rather than just turning on the tv and flipping through channels. So my laziness keeps me from watching as much tv :lol:
