Today, I found out I do not have a fast metabolism, I've actually had a tape worm living inside me for 3 years. FML

the doctor said it could've lived inside me for 30 years. I'm glad they got it out :) and yes I'm feeling much better :)

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Look on the bright side, you're thin as a tapeworm! Jack, that sucks, did you get it out?

Oh my god....three years??? How has that not passed through or at least crawled out of you? I am not good with medical points of this but I'm glad you got that found out...

Maybe because tape worms live inside the intestine and it didn't want to leave.

Why would anyone vote YDI on this

On the other hand, apparently tapeworms can cure (or at least suppress) allergies. May be a bit extreme for a hayfever cure, but if they're really bad...

No lie, Drs. are testing to see if worms (harmless ones, not tapeworms) can help treat Crohn's disease.

You're thinking of pinworms. They aren't exactly harmless, but they're much less of a problem than either Crohn's or other parasites, only causing some discomfort. When in the body, they seem to suppress inflammation of the intestines caused by Crohn's.

So you haven't been to the doctors for 3 years for a check up?

I have a high metabolism and need to see a doctor soon and this just freaked me out so badly I'm sweating. Going to go cry now.
