Based on your history of liver problems, the following may be helpful for you in treating your parasitic infection.
Ref: Fluke Protocol - Praziquantel & Albendazole: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1667673#i
I suspect your history of liver issues & current discomfort may be caused by a colony of liver flukes and possibly other species of flukes that migrate to organs & systems in the genitourinary & gastrointestinal tracts.
Since your liver is impaired & you exhibit no other symptoms of a systemic infection in other areas of your body, suggest you stop taking the Albendazole.
Continue the Praziquantel, as noted in the protocol: 1 dose, 3 times daily, evenly spaced 6 hrs apart for 3 days. Rest liver for 7 days. Repeat this treatment cycle 2 more times. Flukes are very difficult to erradicate, & continued treatment may be necessary.

"N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is an amino-acid derivative (small protein) with over 40 years of scientific research to back it up. NAC’s powerful health benefits derive from its ability to restore intracellular levels of glutathione (GSH), which is the body’s most powerful antioxidant.
Glutathione is a very powerful antioxidant that helps the liver to protect you against toxicity, and it is most needed by those with liver disease. The stress of chronic liver disease depletes glutathione and this is why supplementing with one of its precursors, NAC helps to protect against ongoing liver damage.
NAC is a modified form of the sulfur-containing amino acid cysteine. NAC replenishes intracellular levels of glutathione (GSH), which restores your cells’ ability to fight damage from free radicals known as reactive oxygen species."
Hope the above info helps you in your parasite battle.
