THE WORST PAIN EVER

So in the past few weeks I've had my nice run-ins with stomach issues. Around the second week in Xela, I started to experience some diarrhea, which was pretty fun in itself. Although, I have been extremely careful in terms of what I eat and drink and make sure to wash my hands throughly. I had some rumbles in the jungle. However, I thought that possibly it could have been just adjusting to the diet of Guatemala, which is high amounts of sugar and carbs, something totally opposite of what I typically experience back in the states. After a week of toilet struggles, I started to feel much better and thought it must have just beenthe food here. Then while on an excursion to a AID/TB hospital, I started to feel some extreme urges to go to the bathroom, so I went, but afterwards I started to feel some extreme pain. I sat down on the curb and looked around. I said to everyone I should prolly go home, the pain was so intense. I drank water, and tried to do anything I could to make it stop. I could not even stand up the pain was so intense.
Soon I found myself shaking out of pain and turning a nice pale coloration. I was drinking gatorade at the time and I found myself crushing the bottle to divert my mind from the pain, which was only getting worse. Finally, a my friends Rachel and Jimmy decided to take me in a cab home. While in the cab, I found i was gripping the seat so hard the leather was cracking under pressure as the pain continually worsened. Then rachel and jimmy made an executive decision to take me to the hospital.
Our driver began to run red lights and speed through the tiny streets in an attempt to get me to the hospital as soon as possible. We pulled up and I hoped out of the car and was taken into the emergency room. The hospital was much dirty than that of a standard american hospital, but it seemed as though all the tools they used were sterile. I made sure of that. i was put in an old rickety wheel chair which jimmy found a delight to push me with. I took a nice stool sample and waited an hour for the results. All the while, the pain was steadily increasing to a point where I couldnt take it. It hurt so much, and there was nothing I could do.
Even though the pain was so intense, I couldnt help but think how good of a bad experience this was since I was recieving a first hand experience of the health care system in guatemala, while also experiencing the pain that tons of patients go through in a years span, and even those who succumb to GI disorders.
Back to the experience at hand, so the pain was so intense at one point that i could feel my body needed to produce any kind of relief from the pain. This was the first time I have ever in my life vomited from pain alone. I can safely say it is an experience I would only like to have once. After that momentary lapse in pain, which i believe was primarily mental, like a biting a finger to ingore a shot, the pain returned once more. Finally, my results arrived and the young doctora notified be that I have amoebas and they most likely caused an intense intestinal infection which is why I was experiencing a pain that could only be described as if someone had reached into my body grabbed my intestines and started to crush and twist them.
The young doctora told me she could give me a muscle relaxant that would take away the pain. At that point, I would have gone sky diving to get rid of the pain. Then she told me it was an intravenous shot. Reluctantly, I said yes and the next thing I knew a nurse, who really didnt seem like she knew was she was doing, was sticking a big needles into my left vein. The pain I experienced from the shot was almost as bad as the pain I was experiencing in my stomach. It really felt as though it lasted forever...all i could do was squeeze my hand in relation. Then I could feel the sweetness of the shot as the pain in my intestines subsided. Then i went home to sleep for a very long time.... To this day it is the worst pain I have experienced........it was treated with anti-parasitic and antibiotics.

That was my first encounter, my second resulted in me experiencing 9 diarrhea episodes a day for a week until i went get lab results done, which indicated I had high yeast and an intestinal infection.....I like to call this round two. Which I am currently treating. We'll how it goes.
