Beaver fever

[dugh]

How many members have had Giardia? What was the cure? How long did it last? Did you survive?
The reason I ask is, for a couple of weeks I had stomach cramps and diarhea that can only be described as explosive. Then a couple weeks of cramps and was very tired, and then I felt great for 6 or 7 days. Now I have the cramps again. The tests have been negative but from what I've read it's exactly like Giardia. The cure would not be harmful if I didn't have it but I'm not fond of pills. Any advice?
