So yesterday was 8/6.

I survived, but ironically and most sadly... Shannon's grandfather passed away.

Of all the dates, I find it coincidental weird.

So went to the gastroenterologist today. Told him everything. Pain, distention, shortness of breath etc. I left with a pat on the back and some Metamucil.

3 doctors, thousands of dollars... and I'm done.

Apparently treatment in the country takes a medical emergency.

I trust in fate now.

Just got back from the doctor. Spent two days getting felt up, and re-doing all the tests that have already been done.

This time she hinted at the "c" word.

Lovely.

Ooooh... I've got a temperature of 94.6 this morning- how lucky am I?

Crap, I'm turning into a reptile!

So another $245 gone. Went to the student health center and started out back at numero uno. New blood work, new x-rays. I even took the old ones in.

The nice thing is that they do the x-rays on site thought rather than having them read "remotely"- like the previous ones were.

I'm hoping they find something rather than having to continue this charade, but no doubt it's likely we will.

To make matters worse, apparently my "allotted time" for my appointment wasn't enough for an entire evaluation, so they asked me to come back tomorrow. Of course that will cost more money too.

If Romney becomes president, I'm changing my degree type to 'medical doctor'. There's just too much money in it.

Well update is... Diflucan made me lose weight, and definitely cleaned out some whack bacteria but has not cured the problem.

Last night after rolling on my side I found an intensely painful area several inches above the right hip.

I've decided it's still likely the appendix, which was my first original thought before all this began anyways.

I'm going for a second opinion this time, at the student health center. Since it's not during the school year, it's another $65. I'm going to take in the tests I have previously, and push for a sonogram of the area- if not too expensive.

A little googling and I found this picture of a fungal infection of the eye. This is exactly what it looked like:

It wasn't anything that solid, it broke apart when I removed it. (though it definitely had a string structure of connective tissue)

I'm working on a current hypothesis which seems to have had some positive results...

Without sounding like a complete homeopathic loon, I'm leaning tentatively towards candida overgrowth.

I'm a perfect candidate, I'm on estrogen, border-line diabetic, and I wear a partial with dental issue in the past.

I attempted approx 30 days of anti-biotics, and a few dozen doses of papaya seeds as an anti-parasitic, with little/no effect.

Then I check my PH, down below and it is overly acidic suggesting a bacterial infection.

I ordered some anti-fungal to give it a go, but they're on back-order in Vanuatu...

If that wasn't too much information, I think the "worm" may be fungus. I've yet to see these things move yet.

Was it wriggling?

Loaiasis is pretty gross but unless you've been to Central or West Africa you're not likely to have it. I don't think it's a problem in Egypt

Gross images of Loaiasis can be found here
