Sheesh! sounds like hell.... and I'm wiht you on the shitty american health care bull shit. just lets not get me started. luckily for me, all of my serious health conditions have come around while i was covered. either that, or i had them the whole time, but paid them no mind until i was convered.

sorry to hear about your lame health problems... and you are still with both the parasite and gastritis?

(btw... I had 2 surgeries last year and wanted to tape them, but my friend who went with me strongly advised against it and refused to do it... i guess he'd done it and regretted it or something. but fuck, i still wish i'd done it!)

Yes to both.

I have been forced to be vegan. Against my will!

holy shit dude that's so fucking terrible. i posted a picture of ascaris worms a couple of weeks ago cuz we were in the middle of GI, and it's obviously after the patient has been given the mebendazole/pyrantel.

i hope it clears up soon and you feel much better!

I should have taken photos of Melville. I knew someone like you could appreciate it.

well here is the kicker. Some of the research that I have done on it says that the Ozark mountains has a high ascaris population. We have no running water in our cabin there. we us the middle fork of the Little Red River to bathe in, wash our dishes in and in emergancies boiled to drink it. We used it to water our vegetable garden too. I very well could have gotten it in Arkansas. I am usually good about food down south now that I am with Chris. He makes sure I do;t eat at the street vendors. I used to have an iron stomach. I'd eat at every vendor and never get sick. Now I am mandated to wash my hands before I eat. I am most certain I obtained it from arkansas.
