The end of this year hike
That is it. it is over. The bug I am involuntarily hosting "Blastocystis Hominis" has finally gotten the better of me. I am literally wilting away, my weight is dropping and I am eating my muscle mass. Not a good thing to do when you are not even half way trough your hike. I still have all the symptoms I had prior to a 7 days Flagyl treatment. I am nauseaous, feeling bloated, I cannot see or smeel food without feeling sick and I will spare you the rest of the symptoms. Let's just say you would not watt to hike close to me. I feel that if I keep on going I will endanger my health on a long term basis. So this is why I am dropping off. It is one thing to endure the hardship of a thru hike it is another to feel sick at every step you take.
