Mystery Diagnosis . . .

So for quite some time now I've felt just rotten. Tired, upset stomach, basically to spare you all the details-- I was like a Pepto Bismol Commercial -- all symptoms! Now stomach problems are nothing new to me - - for anyone who knows me well- knows that -- stomach problems and me go long long way back -- and I've always dealt with it! But now being tired and frustrated, decided to seek some medical consultation! Once my blood test came back-- it was very clear to me the problem. Although shocking to some -- the doctor told me I have a parasite! Yup-- doesn't that sound appealing! He told me I probably got it from spending to much time with Chet, galavanting all over the hills and what not -- boys and their trips -- never to a nice clean hotel !

So I have this parasite-- now what-- ?

The doctor told me that there is treatment -- hooray for that!
It would take a few months - ok - -
And basically the parasite would just work its way out -- EEK!
Ok, so feeling slightly freaked out and like I'm the star in a low budget sci - fi thriller, I asked for more information.

The doctor then told me not to worry -- this parasite although making me feel endlessly miserable, was not life threatening! Nor was it that uncommon -- Really? Never heard of any normal -- non-migrant person getting one?

The doctor went on to tell me that -- once the parasite completely works its way out -- that I have alot of decisions to make -- the doctor said alot of people actually want to keep it?

You have got to be kidding me?

Ya really he said alot of people keep their parasite-- they even go as far as to dress it up in tiny little clothes --

Huh?

Ya some people even name their parasite . . .

WoW!
So their is my diagnosis-- I know completely mind boggling isn't it? What to do though?
