Just so I don't scare anyone to death, I'm fine. It was nothing serious. Now, onto the story..
I'll spare you guys the details and just say that after 20 minutes of panicking in the bathroom, I told my mom and off to emergency we went. Boy, I've never felt more uncomfortable in my life. After 2 hours of waiting and 20 minutes of being extremely uncomfortable, we found out that I have tapeworm. They think I got it from the dogs since my mom mentioned that I kiss them all the time. I think I could have also picked up the egg/s somewhere and ingested it when I bit my nails since I have that horrible habbit. So, they sent a sample to the lab and within the next few days, I'll find out if I need further medication or not.
On a brighter note, I lost three pounds since I started my 'diet'. We think it was cause of the tapeworm cause quite honestly, I've been eating more. :o
Lesson learned: going to emergency at 10pm is NOT fun.:p
