Advice needed....bad infestation!

Hi. So glad I found this site! I responed to another thread (how much do I not want to hear that word!) but thought I'd start a fresh one to describe my situation (hell!) and seek advice

I teach so I tend to blame the kids for the infections. I've had threadworms twice in 4 years despite being very hygenic at school. Each time they took some shifting.

My latest infestation is terrible. It started 9 weeks ago (saw worm in anus) and then realised I have been showing other symptoms but hadn't put 2 and 2 together.

I took an Ovex tablet but because you then have to do a massive clean I then took some Ovex liquid formula a week later incase I inhaled eggs in dust. I took the second Ovex at the right time. Things improved.

Into the 3rd week I took another tablet (a right pill popper I am!) just to be safe. Could I have made myself immune to the tablets?

I didn't change my diet and continued to drink quite a bit of alcohol on nights out. Lo and behold they came back with a vengeance.

I had them in my vagina and intestines (very itchy bottom). I freaked and took Ovex. 4 days later it hadn't improved so I saw my Doctor and like a fool, broke down in tears at age 30!

She couldn't work out why Ovex wasn't doing the job so she assumed it was down to my hygene on some level. I said that it was always possible that I was inhaling the eggs when dusting/hoovering etc. What a farce.

She gave me Pripsen (powder sachet). This certainly calmed them and I started to pass them (dead) BUT all the while my vagina was very sore and the discharge (sorry for the detail but it may help others!!) was 'stringy, white and worm like'.

Yes I freaked. Unsure as to whether they were dead. I assumed that Pripsen was getting rid...doing it's job. I made massive change to diet - no wine/beer, chocolate, cheese, bread. Cut down on carbs. Stopped all processed food. Bought stuff from Holland and Barrett herbal shop.

All went well until... the mucus in my nose appeared white and stringy. The flaming things had entered my nasal passages. I don't know how. I'd read on the internet that it was possible (they NEVER say this on the treatment information leaflet!). I freaked. My nose was itchy. I tried nasal spray...this was hurting my nose as there wasn't actually anything wrong per se. I continued with the cleaning and swabbing of all bodily areas.

I took another Ovex a day earlier than recommended (I could tell they were alive in my gut) and sure enough started passing dead worms in stools. Freaked again. Seriously - at this point I thought I was going insane. Couldn't sleep. Felt weak. Spending an absolute fortune on cleaning products. Started to actually throw away clothes, knickers and duvets (see, insane!!)

Okay, let me end this essay...sorry. Basically, I have one Pripsen sachet left to take on Friday but I still have stringy mucus in nose. Vagina is showing 'worm' symptoms again ...and...they are coming out of my eye discharge (not kidding!). I have no idea if they are alive as they are soo small and stringy (like the nose). Worse when I wake up in the morning. I was getting more crusty sleep in the eyes...then I had a proper look...and got a hell of a shock. Nearly vomited even though they were tiny and dead.

I am in hell. I do not know how to kill them in these areas. The internet says it's possible for them to reach these regions but offers no solutions.

I'm eating soo much fruit but I read that this could encourage. I just don't know what to do for the best. I am exhausted - I can't sleep, have rings under eyes, my hands are soo sore and fingers look like I've been in the bath for a month. I won't have friends over and they have noticed 'I'm ill'. School starts tomorrow and I am dreading it.

Sorry for the ramblings but I wanted to be honest and give a complete picture!

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ADVICE?

Anyone ever had the discharge in the eyes, nose, vagina (sorry guys)

I am at my wits end and soo run down with all this.

Thanks for your time.

    Hi

    I am currently feeling similar symptoms to yourself... i am getting  a weird tingling throughout my body, mostly at the top of my stomach. It feels like something moving! it sometimes gives me nipping almost biting pains.I also have got a feeling that something is currently latched onto the back of my throat that I can not wash away or get rid of, it has been like this for the last 24 hours. Call me crazy but I feel that I can pull it back down into my stomach ( but something is still latched to my throat). After not concentrating on this I then get a bit lump at the back of my throat. I am almost Gipping with how close it is to my mouth.

    After a lot of playing with my throat, swallowing I managed to "pull" one down into my stomach.I can now feel this moving around again, it feels like it is trying to get back up and at times nips. Swallowing is still hard and I just feel sick.

    did you manage to resolve your issue and if so pleaseeeee help...

    I went to the derm doctor yesterday and brought the sample of the worm,attached to my tweezers and tape and she comes back and says NOTHING was there. I got a picture of it,right before I put it in a ziplock,but it's not a clear picture. I was so upset and told her I DO have parasites and asked her to do a skin scraping,which she said wasn't needed. I almost felt suicidal after leaving,as I can't keep going on with this infestation. Last night,as I was washing my hands,found large,slimy worms in my drain,and wondered if my water supply is contaminated. I am calling the county cooperative extension and also board of health. They have been working on sewer lines in front of my house and am wondering if sewage is in the lines? I see strange bubbling whenever I flush the toliet and wash my hands. God be with all that has this awful condition. It's NOT in our head!

      You're absolutely correct!! It's not all in our head. I'm trying the medication one more time; this time with the rest of my family, and hope to get rid of it. Spray Lysol, hand sanitizer, rubbing alcohol and peroxide are all used daily now at my house. The Lysol is for when I'm too lazy to clean a "hot spot" right away. The hand sanitizer is used everytime I go to the washroom (after I wash my hands), and I make sure the sanitizer gets forced up under my nails (which are short). The rubbing alcohol and peroxide is used on and around the toilet seat before and after every use. Now we're going to be trying the Combantrin one more time (as a family) and hope for the best. There is NO WAY on God's green earth that I will have intercourse with my husband until this problem is eradicated from our home. I just can't rish it going into my female parts. That would be the "end of the line" for me. I'm already going crazy these past couple of months. I pray it works for all of us. We all need to stick together to get this horrible pinworm problem eradicated from modern society. Why is it soooo hard??? Scabies are just as easily transmitted yet you don't hear about it half as much as this...or even the head lice issue. It seemed much less invasive and more easy to deal with...when compared with this stupid pinworm stuff. I'll keep you all posted as to our success (or not) over the next 2 weeks. Good luck to all of you. We really need Divine Intervention here!!!!

      it's notin your head but I don't think itsin your water supply either. I've had doctors treat me the same its horrible! 

      To have something as unimaginable as this and drs not believes you. They also brushed aside my pictures videos  and baggies! Told to get a phych exam! Even turned away by infectious  disease dr. Because bloodworm was negative for whatever she checked.  To scalp biopsies negative as well. Seeing "floaters" in my eyes eye dr saw nothing 

      finally a good derm has me on ivermectin but I now feel them in my eyes! I'm thinking about going for a reiki treatment today!

    I'm sorry to tell you but you have morgellons. There are two very reputable sites to learn more about this condition.

    1. Carnicom Institute

    2. Oklahoma State University.. Walter C. Holmen foundation.

    These both are leading in research. I know its extremely upsetting. I've had this three years now and I really believe between these two research facilities a cure will be found or at least something to manage the symptoms.

    Hang in there.

      Why 3 years if you say "a cure will be found at these places" 

      im taking ivermectin 3mg 6 tabs then two weeks later 6 more. I too am seeing and feeling in my eyes and nose. This is a nightmare. 

      Mine have mostly been in my head! Literally

    Hi I know it is a terrible situation and seems to be the area of medicine that has not developed yet.

    I found round worms and was prescribed 2 x 100 g mebendazole tablets a day for 3 days - 2 week break and the same again. It was only the second dose that showed me thread worms coming out of my sinuses - I had not put the two things together - stringy sinuses and intestinal worms. And then I saw them in my urine.

    I have now gone to a specialist at the hospital for tropical diseases who has prescribed 2x 400g tabs of Albendazole a day for 28 days. It is a dose that will get into the deeper tissues etc. Others recommend you have a week's break after 2 weeks. Albendazole gets into your blood stream. 

    I sleep in pants and PJ's and wash them and pillow case every morning. Wipe all door handles in bedroom and bathroom every morning and have a spray of Dettol by the toilet which I use after every movement. I wash pants and trousers every night. There is a detergent in the UK that has anti bacterial in it which makes me feel safer, though it might not help - I don't know!

    One thig I will add is that when they die and have to come out and beware the toxins - they are after all (sorry to say it ) rotting flesh and it might make you feel terrible. Make sure you cleanse well. Eat pure food and fiber that will pass through. No processed food or white sugar which can block your flow. If you have had them for a long time and your bowels are constipated, then use a laxative like senna, ( pure and not mixed with sugar) just for the time you are clearing. I used 2 tabs in the night before bed and one in the morning - I had had them for a very long time - from china 6 years ago. Some people go for colonic irrigation while they do this kind of cleanse. Drink lots of water. And spend time cultivating hope!

    I have just started treatment and will let you know how it goes. 

    It can be a horrible and frightening business, but it can be tackled - it is sadly one of the frontiers of medicine we have to work with at the moment.

    Combantrin taking a second dose after 2 weeks seems to work; along with the extra "regular" hygiene crap you can read on this site. IT will work. But, the one added thing I did was to wipe the toilet seat down before and after each use with rubbing alcohol and always used hand sanitizer after each use with scrubbing it under my nails as well. I also sprayed my door handles with Lysol all the time. Think that's it for the extra things I did not mentioned on this site. Good luck. I know how frustrating it can be. I also know how it can be a long haul for all involved. Cheers!

    Ok my friend has this electric current machine with Velcro straps for your wrist

    They must be soaked in water before put on wrist

    Also he takes silver in liquid form ((Google silver and it's healing against anything))

    Now the little electric box runs for about 90 min

    You must use it over at least 4 days in a row possible more depending on infection

    First it kills all parasites in your system then it either bursts the eggs or makes them hatch qiucker to kill the smaller ones

    Then it cleares your system with the help of liquid silver (plesae do NOT try melt sold silver as some 1 on another forum asked )

    Also he has cleared himself of hepatitis C virus with this aswell

    Now another way I see These been rid of was through YouTube where a coreen Thai or Indonesian doctor smeared some cream on a persons face and all these little white maggots/worms started to come from his face and fall on to a newspaper

    Once they hit fresh air it was like they just died and started to go like you could see through them as if they were desolving

    I do hope this answer helps

    Ps: I am not racist just did not know if the doctor in video was either Indonesia or from somewhere around those parts of the world !

    I am experiencing the same thing and am freaking out.  I am so thankful to have found this site, but it also terrifies me- the idea that this may never go away, completely.  Did you ever find a regimen that worked?  I've had 3 doses of Albenza 400mg over the course of five days, and am taking a fourth dose tonight, because I'm still experiencing symptoms, mostly vaginal.  But I think they've been in my eyes and nose, as well.  I'm losing it.  My son's symptoms stopped after his first dose of Albenza and have not returned.  He takes his two week follow up dose 11/20.  I assume that because the parasites entered my vagina, they are somehow more resistant to the medication.  However, I thought Albenza killed the worms throughout the body.  I have douched twice, with an iodine solution, and found worms, both times, although the second time I saw no adult females.  This is horrible, and I can't afford to continue buying single treatments(2 doses) at $40.00 per treatment, as my doctor has only prescribed 2 doses at a time.  Thankfully, my husband has no symptoms, so I'm taking his doses, because I've not gone a day without the damn things.  Please tell me that you found something that worked.  I'm afraid that my doctor won't write me a prescription for 20 pills, so that I can take them daily for 3 weeks to kill the things at every stage.  Help, please!

    Hi, I was wondering if you ever found a solution for this. I am having the same problems, including the stuff in my eyes and nose.

    I hope none of you ever forget that takng a corticio-steroid based drug when afflicted with threadwoms (and doubtless all pasites) can be deadly. I believe I read online that the survival probability for the patient is about 20%.

    Fortunately, I was always wary of 'steroids' so used the drug-based product sparingly when perscribed it in error.

      I hasten to add I hadn't mentioned the worms to my doctor, when he prescribed the cortico-steroid based drug for somehting else.
