Honestly, that's good to hear given how expensive it was going to be. I'm clearly clueless when it comes to next steps, so your advice is most welcome and appreciated. Will definitely give Reese's a try first and see what comes of it.
I've suspected for some time that I've had some sort of parasitic infection. This isn't the first worm like this that I've passed - I passed something similar a couple years back while I was at work, but had no way of taking it or a way of grabbing a picture.
Totally open to any suggestions for holistic treatment. I'm at the point where I'm willing to try anything, I just don't know what to try. And it puts me at a bit of a disadvantage not knowing exactly type of parasite(s) I have.
