So im pretty sure I have either Giardia or Ascariasis and I'm really hoping its giardia... I guess ill find out soon enough when these antibiotics either work or dont...

The only reason I think it could be Ascariasis is because I have a cough and that isnt very common with giardia.

First a broken leg, now giardiasis. Rough vacation.

That's cool that you can get meds very easily there. I've never heard of ascariasis, but reading about it, it sounds pretty awful. Looks like you could diagnosis it yourself fairly easily if you could get access to a microscope. But I'm sure the local docs there see it all the time so they should be able to diagnose/treat it.

Hope you feel better soon.

@Pat its not as bad as it sounds just yet, but no not the best.

Well get some rest and drink plenty of fluids (which I'm sure you're losing a lot of right now.)
