Alright, so I’ve gone to the doctor and have a diagnosis. Basically, I have a protozoic infection. For those of us who can’t remember back to good ol’ 10th grade biology, a protozoa is a single-celled organism like amoeba. In other words, I have an infection, possibly parasitic, in my lower GI tract.
At least now we can treat the source and not just the symptoms, as had been done for the past week and a half or so. Basically, my symptoms would be taken care of anti-nausea pills, fever reducers, and so on. Now I’ll be taking an anti-protozoan regimen, along with some other stuff to cleanse the liver and return its size back to normal, and so forth. I was also told to stay away from meat for two weeks, which shouldn’t be a great big problem to me; I usually just eat meat 3 times a week anyway. Cutting it out for the sake of getting myself back to healthy isn’t gonna be a problem.
And that’s it. Let’s hope I’ll be good as spankin’ new in a few weeks and I’ll be back to being as sarcastic and mildly funny as usual. Peas!
