i have giardiasis. an intestinal parasite! my favorite part is that it is popularly known as beaver fever. hahaha!! the whole situation isn't really funny, but it kind of is. anyway, i have to take these really intense anti-biotics for 10 days that will hopefully kill the beast

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5g5pxeQTGQ is the first thing that popped into my head. I think the song is about something other then a parasite though...

Hope you start to feeling better soon!

Oh, and "Giardiasis is passed via the fecal-oral route." from Wikipedia made me gag...

yeah, that really grossed me out. it makes it sound like i was eating poop :(

I'm sure you didn't do it on purpose. Is this the something that's been ongoing and undiagnosed? Or is it new? If it's new, can you please put a list of everywhere you've eaten in the past 3 or so weeks, so I can avoid them? K, thanks!

it's been going on for at least 6 weeks now. but i really only eat at chick-fil-a and jimmy john's if i'm not eating at home. haha
