Hi, my name is Crystal Thomas, and I have giardia.
Hi, Crystal (in chorus)!
Yes, it all started when I first came to Africa. I got sick, waited awhile to deal with my stomach issues, finally took some medication and subsequently got better...
From Susan in the front row: Well, Crystal. Admitting that you have a problem is the first step. Thank you for coming. You're among friends and welcome here.
...as I was saying...the other day, my stomach problems flared up again. This time, I went straight to the doctor. She suspects that I have giardia, and I started taking medication right away! So far, so good. The medicine is working its magic.
Thank you for trusting us with this information, Crystal. Is there anyone else out there that would like to share? A nice hookworm or malaria story, perhaps?
