Has anyone beat pinworm/threadworm after having them for a long time?

yes I had pin worms since i was 6 till 18 years old. At first i told.my mom so we got medication at drug store and it helped but i suffered from them for years. i Eventually was too embarrassed to tell anyone so i would live with them off and on. I got sick.and tired of it so when i was 18 i did research and went and got the medication again. I didnt tell my boyfriend i had em cus i was too embarressed but i started sanitizing the whole house , washing clothes always and not re wearing anything until it was washed.. i washed my hands so much before eating , after each visit to bathroom, i sprayed disinfecting spray on everything always. I took the medication for.my weight it was pill form and that night was very bad so i took the other half of the pills and it went away finnally. I took more then i was suppose to but after years i didnt itch. So yes its possible to get rid of em after years.

I'm only 14 and I'm pretty sure I have had pinworms since I was 12 or 13, I constantly told my mom and the first time I told her I was crying and she was denying it. Every time I tell her she feels like she can just tell me that I don't have I tried to tell her again and she told her friends and just started laughing and was like that's why you don't look stuff up on Google and it really hurts me because I have to deal with these things that are invading my body until I can go to the hospital on my own. I don't want to put the tape on my butt and see if I truly have them because I just don't want it to be true, I've had my sisters take pictures and see if we could spot one and we did I think they were gone for a 1 year or so because I no longer felt a wiggle but they are back now . I'm just terrified that I'm going g to have these for the rest of my life and be single for the rest of my life because I would never wish this on anyone can I PLEASE GET SOME HELP ! This is hurting me mentally this is just a depressing time for me .

I cured my pinworms and it is a dual approach: (1) Kill the adults in the gut and (2) Remove the eggs on the outside (by anus), otherwise they hatch and crawl back in, with new adults now inside. It's a timing thing. 

(1) To kill adults, take meds 1x per week for 3 weeks. The meds work briefly-move thru our intestines (once you take the med), then out of the body, killing part of the adults but not all at one time. The medication is not lingering in our body which is why you take over 3 weeks. Maybe MSM too, daily.

(2) To remove and kill the eggs: use a paper towel with hydrogen perioxide on it. Wipe 1st thing in the a.m. (before using toilet) and then a few times per day. Wipe very well and dig in there. Do until gone.

If you take baths, put a 1/2 cup of peroxide in water.

When I first got worms and started, I could see worms and eggs on the paper towel (even though they say they are microscopic!). I saw worms and eggs the first day but saw only eggs for a few days before they went away completely.

This is what I did for 3 weeks. I’ve been free of this problem for months now.

Other notes:

Some people have suggested putting vaseline by anus. I think this is the wrong approach. You want the eggs to be laid by the anus so that you can remove them daily!! Otherwise the female might migrate to other parts of body to lay eggs (mouth, nose). Or she lays them in the vaseline and you can’t wipe it off well. 

Wear 2 sets of underwear so the eggs are not expelled on the sheets and you can’t scratch while sleeping and get under your finger nails.

Practice good hygiene so that you do not get re-infested from eggs in the house or yard. My doctor told me that I probably got them from the soil and I garden daily. So I wash my hands very well after gardening.

Spray crotch of undies with Lysol before putting in hamper, scrub nails after gardening, put peroxide in washer, etc.

I have read that itching by the anus can sometimes mean a Candida infection. I think the way to determine that is if you wipe well by hydrogen perioxide and know there are no eggs but you continue to itch, then maybe there is something else going on?

I'm starting to really really freak out right now , I just found out that I have thread worm. And I just broke my arm and I have lice I'm Shaking I'm so scared , I really don't know what to do , and it's hard enough becusr I take baths every 2 days , it's just so so hard , and while I'm taking a bath I have to take a live treatment , i honestly hate life right now. I don't know what to do can someone tell me HOME remedies that don't evolve me starving myself ( fasting )

Has anything worked for you? About to try epazote as I'm scared taking pyrantel Pamoate have made them move elsewhere in my body. My bladder hurts so going to try a vinegar and garlic douche. Ugh, what a mess! My health started to dwindle from this (period almost non existent and I'm 38. Also severe insomnia, and anemic. Wish I caught this sooner. I'm getting scared

Hi MMC2000 have you managed to rid yourself of them yet. Your story is basically what I have been through. No doctors believe me. My faecal sample came back as normal. A swab around the anus was clear. It itches every night and the wriggling sensation is just horrid I feel them every day and night. I have had this for 3 months. I wonder whether wiping hydrogen peroxide really help kill the eggs?

I have been dealing with them. And I am trying to decide if they are gone. What do they look like in your stool? Are they actually white wiggly worms or do they just look like mucous strings

I am having it quiet for a while now. I want to propose something never mentioned before. It is tobacco. Shove it up your anus. A few while ago I saw some guy's comment saying 'I had it when I was young. My grandma found out that it was pinworm so she wrapped tobacco with cloth and shove it up my anus and the nex t day I was fine'. I tried it, but it kept falling off so I shoved just only tobacco up my anus. And I had a good night sleep. It is not the ultimate solution, but pinworm subsided I think. Just put a drop of water or two on tobacco to go easy on doing it.
