Advice needed....bad infestation!

Hi, First of all you need to stop drinking alcohol. Alcohol is poison to our body it do not help to kill the enzymes of any other bacteria but decreases the body strength to fight. Then only any medicine can work in your body.

Isn't eating Diatomaceous Earth a little like swallowing ground glass?

Hello Everybody,

I have been following this thread for few months now, but found no solution to my problem. Please read my history and let me know if you have any ideas how to proceed…..

I started having symptoms a year ago: at night I had this crawling sensation around my backside area. Same problem had my 6 year old son. I assumed it’s pinworms as apparently they are very common, especially when it comes to school children. All family members had 1st dose of mebendozole. My symptoms were escalating. I was itchy during the day as well. My son got worse as well, but the other family members had never exhibited any symptoms at all.

Thinking that mebendozole was not effective we all had pripsen followed by 2nd dose of mebendosole and after that 2nd dose of propsen.

I started having wriggling sensation inside my ears, nose, under the skin. I was totally freaking out and went to GP who referred me to Hospital for tests. Nothing was detected and doctors decided that having pinworms in other body cavities is impossible.

I started reading related blogs about pinworms and devised a plan. Change of diet to low sugar, reduced meat – mainly vegetable diet. Using clove oil in hot baths and implemented insane cleaning routine. I mean: regular change of bed linens, frequent cleaning of whole house; including window lace, curtains and getting rid of unnecessary items on surfaces in order to wipe everything more often. Personal hygiene is equally strict.

I remember once I read the information published on this forum that it is possible to have pinworms in eyes. It seemed ….. unreal till I observed the white cotton like fluff on my eyelashes. I also had fluffy patches under my nose at night… and they were moving.

I started putting vick rub inside my nose and cotton wool in my ears. I have shooting pains all over my body, including eyes. I suffer from insomnia and have persistent skin problems. I also have noticed that after shooting pains my eyes are red and sore. Also following shooting pains I have pouches under my skin which are very painful. They usually disappear after 3-4 days and here we go again, the circle repeats itself.

Doctors think I am crazy… and I suppose in a way it’s true because I have developed obsessive compulsive behaviour because of all this. I cannot control washing my hands. I wash them every few minutes.

I have tried to follow Dr. Houlda Clark’s protocol ALONG with taking Ovex every three days for 5 months. Without any effect. I also tried carrot juice, pumpkin seeds, pineapple and pawpaw for prolonged periods of time without success. My life is ruled by strict cleaning routine and recent blood tests revealed I have severe iron deficiency. I have been taking diatomaceous earth for 2 months. Symptoms are not severe as they used to be but they are still there. I started having massive headaches (during the shooting pain part of the circle). Doctors proved to be very unhelpful and unwilling to listen to what I say. I am absolutely shattered and I am out of ideas what to do next…..

I would be grateful for any advice leading to lessen my suffering.

I really benefited from the posts and info. FOUnd this video very useful as well. it s about using herbal extracts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=0SKHszaPT6I&feature=endscreen

Hi everyone me and my two little boys have had threadworms 3 weeks. I have them bad and they have migrated to my sinuses. Just been to a and e as I am traumatised as one came out of my nose. I am incredibly clean germs phobic adult so this is bad for me! I've taken 4 lots of Med and boys and partner x 2. Don't understand why it's not shifted but why I have it bad. Hospital were excellent and shocked but luckily I managed to keep the worm on some celotape so they could see it and agreed I have worms in my sinuses. Just wondered if anyone else has had them in sinuses, face and hair and what can I do about face, ears and hair ones as I feel like I am crawling. Just terrible news for me love to you all

Oops forgot to add that hospital put melon med 2x per day for 3 days....any other advice. Order the herbs and done house cleans every day for 3 weeks. Like I said I am a germphobic person anyway so cannot understand why we've not cleared it up!

Hi Ally37. It's not nice. I feel for you. I am starting to wonder if these worms are getting more resistant, more able to survive in different conditions.

I am clear, and have been for months. Pripsen is no longer available in UK. I took a double dose of Ovex every ten days for several weeks. (Hospitals sometimes prescribe triple doses, daily, so I didn't feel unsafe doing this.) I gave the same to my loved ones. Keep your hands washed, don't scratch, if you have to examine yourself and the kids, be careful. Don't contaminate your hands, bedding, bathroom taps, etc. Perhaps use pack of disposable gloves from pound shop. Be careful what you touch, and keep pump action soap by the sink and by the toilet. Use your elbow. Wash thoroughly. Wash your bottom with jug of warm water over loo morning, night and after you go to the toilet. Be careful with towels. Keep a stack of flannels in bathroom to dry bottom on. Don't re-use, put them in a bag to launder together on HOT. You don't have to go crazy over the top with hygiene in the home. Some people make themselves ill with all the preparation.

A bit of vaseline on the bottom apparently works to stop the worms from coming out to lay their eggs. I didn't need to do this, but it might help to keep the children comfortable enough not to scratch until the medicine works.

These measures worked for me.

If you get rid of them, be mindful that they might return. Keep a dose of Ovex ready for the whole family. At first itch, be calm and start with the routine again.

Best wishes to you.

I am so glad I found you. I have worms IN MY FACE. I have been picking and ripping my skin to try to kill them but as you know this doesn't work. My face is red and swollen and scabbed from obsessive picking. I feel so alone and I am so embarrassed.

To all TW sufferers and in particular Daisy26 and Belissa, has anyone got any success stories? I have them everywhere and I am so down about it. Daisy26 AND bELISSA ARE YOU IN THE uk, if so where? I am in Manchester. Tomorrow I am going to a and e again armed with lots of swabs to demand help and tests as it is taking over my life. Love to you all xx

Hi Ally37

I am in St. Louis, MO. I started taking an herbal medication about a week ago and now the buggers are fleeing my body. I was so afraid I might be contagious I went to the ER (we were supposed to spend time with my Brother's new baby today). They were so mean. The doctor didn't even look at my face (where there are "track marks" from the worms) and spent about 5 minutes with me. Then the nurse told me not to come back to the ER unless I had a serious emergency. I was so embarrassed.

But I am worried about infecting the baby. Does anyone know how infectious these worms are?

daisy26, you need to catch one of the worms and put it on a piece of sticky tape and take it to a doctor. Failing that, get photographs. It's easy to get the willies over these things and getting creeped out makes your skin start crawling. There ARE worms that invade your skin, but they are not threadworms/pinworms. There are other species of worm that can be a lot more harmful. In order to identify them, you need a sample to show a doctor.

You say you're from St Louis. That's a very hot, humid part of the States, and there are still outbreaks of hookworm and other parasites down there. I would say that the possibility can't be eliminated until you get seen by a serious doctor, who is prepared to investigate.

Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

Bellissa, you need to get samples on sticky tape and take them to the doctor. They may not be threadworms.

ally37, look for my other posts earlier in this thread and in other threads. I have mentioned what I have learnt about threadworm in other parts of the body and available treatments in the UK. If you go to the doctor again, make sure they know that you have had a positive diagnosis in hospital. Give date and location, and the name of the doctor you saw, if you can remember.

Best wishes,

IJL

Thanks iJL I really am freaked out when they are in and out! Took a hot bath with clove oil, skins feels better but you should have seen what came out! Also took four medebenzole earlier and they are coming out of nose and even throat now - I wish this would be over soon! Daisy yes get as many samples as you can x
