Gather 'round folks, whilst I tell a story.
For about 10 years, I've had a fairly regular upset stomach. It never got super bad (not usually, at least), and it rarely stopped me from doing most things in life, but it was there and it was tremendously annoying. I won't bother trying to explain all the symptoms--they're weird, and somewhat extensive. Throughout this period I spoke to multiple people about my symptoms, including two doctors (one of them a gastroenterologist). None of them had ever encountered these symptoms before.
So, I had largely resigned myself to living with these symptoms for the rest of my life. Again, it's not horribly bad (unless I let it get aggravated, then it can become nearly debilitating), and if it never changed I could lead a totally normal life.
I started seeing a chiropractor last year. (Incidentally, my body is remarkably crooked.) I mentioned my symptoms to him, and he referred me to a kinesiologist that he knew and held in high regard.
I went to see her, and she diagnosed me with a tapeworm.
...yeah. Apparently I'd had this thing for a decade. So she gave me a parasite cleanse, which I did. It was the first time that anything had actually helped. After the cleanse, which basically just involved some over-the-counter herbal supplements, I noticed a significant reduction in my symptoms. I thought I was cured.
A couple months ago the symptoms came back. They didn't come back with a vengeance or anything; they just came back, same as ever. I actually told the kinesiologist this, and she recommended a liver cleanse. Any thoughts on these? Opinion on the efficacy of liver cleanses is...inconclusive, to say the least. I'm not sure if I should try it, so if any of you have some experience with them one way or the other I'd appreciate it.
Anyway, I wouldn't mind prayer. Again, it's not really a big deal, but it is very annoying. The past week or so the symptoms have been strangely persistent, and it's quite irksome.
