If you believe Jin's research and it is a picture of Giardia (taken with your Webcam!)then I would head straight to somewhere else for answers because Giardia are microscopic.
If this is Giardia the size of a dime- you are in serious trouble for sure.
Have you been eating Luna Bars by any chance?

Dear TO LIFE, I figure since my brain is one of the few things working properly, I may as well put it to good use! I am fortunate that I have been around computers since the age of three. Sadly, no one will hire me. Getting a job doing research on the internet would be ideal, but there appears to be no openings anywhere. In the meantime, I will attempt to prevent my brain from going to mush by helping others as much as possible!
Dear LT, I also wanted to mention Doctor's Data and The Great Smokies Lab. Many people have been satisfied with their results for parasite testing. A friend of mine recommended them. I was stunned when I read about Giardia looking like a smiley face. That looks like your parasites!
Keep in mind that I want you to use your own judgment and instincts. Testing is the only thing that can actually diagnose you with a parasite. Considering what they appear to be, I figured it was not so likely you had been swallowing baby octopi whole. Most people never eat octopus, let alone swallow them without chewing. Regardless, I hope you feel better and begin figuring out why you are suffering.

I went to that site, but it isn't it. I have seen a few of these photos that look like whats coming out of my on Curezone and I just emailed the posters to see if they were sick. The photo below is pretty identical to what I am looking at on my end. This picture comes from CureZone.
Things might be calming down a bit, but still feel pretty awful.
I'm not sure I got the joke either. Trying not to think about my funeral, even though the picture of my kids standing over my casket does cross my mind from time to time. This is when I cry most of the time, wondering how they will go on without me if the Lyme kills me.
Not sure why someone would try and remind me of this. I can't figure some people out.

Hang in there guy. Some people should just keep their thoughts to themselves if they have nothing productive to say. JR is just being very insensitive. Perhaps someday the tables will turn and when he needs help and support, everyone will laugh at him.

LT,
gosh i feel so bad for you and hope that someone will LISTEN to you!
can you go to a really highly recommended gastroenterologist?
I would definitely get an endoscopy and a colonoscopy for SURE.
they actually take a camera with them and surely they might find something and bring the specimen with you so they can do some research.
i think its your best shot.
i am so thinking of you and praying you will get some type of relief soon.

Dear LT, I hope the posters at curezone.com can identify whatever it is. I know how scary something like this is. We all do. Another possibility is that you have malabsorption, and are passing food nearly whole. Celiac Disease caused me to do that.
Anyone with Leaky-Gut will pass food that way when they do not absorb nutrients. What is your diet like? Are you restricted in any way? Have you tried going gluten-free? The new picture definitely is more defined.

To Life said: "Dear JR, A really strong person is kind and gentle. I find your joke very hurtful. LT is going thru a rough time right now."
A really strong person tries to help someone face their fears. What if my comment was not a joke? Obviously the OP is concerned about dying- we all are. Look at the subject title. She needs help with her fear that this will kill her.
Have you ever seen the show Obsessed? They use exposure therapy and ask clients to think it through to the end.
I don't know what that creature is, and I don't think it will kill her- but she thinks it might-so face your fear and be prepared. If you think my comment was a joke-then maybe you are not taking her seriously.
Sometimes the truth does hurt- and it takes a really strong person to accept that. You can't be kind and gentle with Cancer- and you can't be kind and gentle with Lyme Disease-hugs and kisses are not going to cure it.

It does none of us any good to ignore our own mortality. Perhaps I am the only one being sensitive to OPs fear of dying? It's a real fear that all of us carry with us. I don't consider it a laughing matter. Sorry if the reality of dying offends you, but I do not intend to put rose colored glasses on it.

morgellons maybe?
they have some excellent pictures on the web.
me, i'd be totally freaking out -- stark raving mad!!!
have you tried the nutrasilver stuff?
i've watched others die from lyme -- it ain't pretty. i know when my time comes it will probably be related to lyme in some way. i pray for all of us and hope you find your answers.
please keep searching and screaming at those dr's.
i bet if some of us took that parasite cleanse or something we'd find stuff that looked worse than this.

Dear randibear, I bet you are right about finding scary things if the rest of us took cleansing supplements. I shudder at the thought. Looking at those pictures on curezone.com made me queasy! Looking at spaghetti is not going to be easy for a while. Can you say "Ew!"?
Dear LT, It is difficult not to think about your own mortality. I think about it all of the time. I am always scared I have Cancer instead, or that there is something else awful going wrong. If you ever want to talk, feel free to PM me. Sometimes it is nice just for someone to acknowledge your fears and not judge.
These aren't mine but look exactly like what I have passed several times and my sister has passed them as well.
I think they may be larvae of liver flukes but nobody seems to know what they are. They look much like what you are passing without the "eyes" or nuclei.
My doctor sent them to Quest Diagnosis and they said they were 'non parasitic' BULL. I know they are SOMEthing.

they look like the babies of what is pictured as much larger ones above them.
So it could be the larva that we are seeing that lymetwister has posted with the babies emerging. The ones at cureszone are the same as well. Can't believe no one can identify them
