Slowing Down Before It Begins

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

Sorry for the lack of updates folks.

There is a reason for this, well, I think there is.

The unfortunate part of visiting the Dominican Republic was that I brought home with me a little guest.  My guest lives in my intestinal tract, and he’s wreaking havoc on me.  I believe I have a parasite called Giardia inside me.  My girlfriend has it quite severe.  The worst part about this is that the doctors don’t know what we have.

We both submitted stool samples to try to identify this thing.  All the symptoms point to some sort of parasite, but the stool samples came back negative. Apparently, false results come back often with stool samples.

So we’re resubmitting more samples, and getting a blood workup to try to pin down what this thing is.

Severe fatigue is one of the many symptoms we have, and it really sucks to feel so lethargic all the time.  I know I’m a lazy bastard, but sometimes this is unreal.

Hopefully we’ll know soon what we have so that we can get rid of the creepy crawlies inside of us.
