parasites in my colon....not okay!

The last couple of days I have been extremely tired, but did not think much of it because I have been working a lot and walking a lot plus I did so much activity over the weekend. I also felt like I had a fever tuesday but it quickly went a way. This morning I woke up with terrible cramps and had no appetite, but forced myself to eat breakfast and went to the clinic. I started feeling much worse after about an hour of being there. I was nauseous and really crampy in my stomach. I went back to the Cayo Clinic that I have been volunteering at to see the doctor; he was so nice and didnt even charge me for my visit which was awesome. After listening to patients for the past week I was almost positive that I had amoebas, which the doctor confirmed. After walking around san ignacio for an hour I finally found a pharmacy that carried the medication I needed. I was expecting it to be  super cheap, but I was definitely wrong. It cost 65 BZ$ for 6 pills!! But I should be feeling better by tomorrow. The only bad part is I cannot have any drinks for the  next couple days and we were all going to celebrate tonight and tomorrow for me leaving. Oh well, I am sure I will live without a few drinks.  So in conclusion I have amoebas! 

I was only at the clinic for about an hour, so I didnt see much action. The other volunteers informed me that i did not miss much. I slept all afternoon and the cramping seemed to have gone away. I still dont feel amazing, but I feel better. I am getting ready and going to dinner!! 

Hopefully the little ameobas in my stomach relax for a few hours so I can have fun!
