Stomach Bug that never leaves

[WhatCanItBe]

Around the beginning of August just after that very hot spell, I was eating some hamburger that probably was very rare.

I suddenly got this weird

I am back and it is now 2010. I was symptom free for TWO WHOLE YEARS. I never thought that nightmare would be over.

Then in the middle of this heat wave in the eat, once again, I got the strange dull headache and then suddenly BLAM! The stomach is tingling and hurting up above.

What else is similar? I ate some rare hamburger. I hope I did not catch some exotic disease and give this to myself another two years. God help me.

This post was posted a year ago but I wanted to make a comment on it.  I think this guy is a young doctor.  This is very much what I think the attitude of doctors is.  Doctors are seen in society as "know it alls" when it comes to health issues, and the natural reaction of a "know it all" who doesn't have the answer is to become defensive and say it's just stress or it's nothing or it will settle on its own instead of being humble and taking it as a learning experience like 1 in 10 doctors do who actually learn throughout their career.  Being a doctor is a great life long responsibility.  Few rise to the challenge.

Have you gotten an answer? I had had a parasite in my stomach but it was found in a stool sample. It had made me feel bloated and bowl movements were nothing but liquid no solid stool. I had had

BLASTOCYSTIC HOMINIS

I have a parasite or a bug of my own that I would like to share and hopefully get some ideas. I have had this thing I will call it MyBug for years. I first noticed small worms in the toliet and thought they were from someone eles. After several times I realized oh my gosh they are from me! I think I have had them for like 7 years or more. I recently was on a medication that made me vomit and oh gosh for the first time I realized they were in my stomach as well as my bowls because again I saw them in the toliet after I was ill. I have that tingling sensation as well but did not associate it to MyBug until recently. It keeps me up at night but in my cash the tingling or crawling sensation starts high up kind of between my ribs and goes to my stomach. I really have no symptoms other then I know MyBug is there and this tingling thing which when it happens makes me hot so basically causes night sweats. I have had several stool test run and they can't find or see MyBug but on a recent test they found Blastocystis hominis which I am now on Flagl for which makes me really sick! MyBug is not Blastocystis hominis but the doc says he wants to cure this before moving on to MyBug which is for me worse. I have read every article I could find on bugs and worms and looked at a million pictures of them trying to find MyBug but so far nothing matches. Oh ya all the deworm medicine and nature stuff does not touch MyBug. It must be something really tough and I guess stomach acid does not kill it either! I wish I could post pictures here and could have someone take a look at them. I know its gross but I have fished MyBug out of the toliet and taken a picture of it or them I should say because it seems like there are two different looking MyBugs maybe male and female. Its scary because I have had it for so long, nothing seems to kill it and the doc can't find it!!!
