Returning threadworms for years....

Glad everyone is feeling better. Contact with Anna and everyone else on this post was the beginning of me feeling better about it all. I keep them under control by wearing tight boy shorts to bed and leggings which I buy in bulk from primarni. Take them off in the shower, roll up and wash separately from family stuff. This means that you don’t need to be washing sheets constantly or worrying about your family. The other thing that I do which i really believe helps is douching. Oh dear, this is a shocker to type - if I feel the little ones come down in the day (which I know not everyone else gets) I jet myself internally with the tap of a bidet and flush them out.  Yes. A bit weird but works for me.  Doctors - gave up on them years ago but still dream of finding someone who really knows what’s going on. I have a theory that for some people the worms are able to reproduce within their bodies. Maybe due to childbirth, our colon has changed shape and therefore makes this possible. I think this because for 6 months straight i wore disposable knickers and a brand new pair of leggings every night which I then put in the bin. Properly extreme but I was at a point that I thought the problem was due to the night activity. Well, even this didn’t work which led me to suspect that they don’t even need to come out to reproduce. Keep us posted if you ever find a person that wants to investigate this further, we can all go and see. One other thing - I wonder how many people are suffering?  It’s too taboo for people to share with even their best friends so maybe there are more sufferers than the medical profession even know about.

Hello everyone!

I 've been suffering from threadworm infestation for about 8 years.

My story:

I am from an eastern European country. Had pinworms for the first time when I was about 6 years old. I remember how annoying it was and how ashamed I was to tell about them to my parents. Same symptoms: itchy bottom, vagina, crawling out on my body. They could be seen and felt.

One day my mum finally noticed and gave me a pill that solved it all.

After years I came to UK and got them here again!

But these are different! Can’t be seen, becoming immune to albendazole, mebendazole, pyrantel or just hide from the drugs in different parts of the body. If I go on the cleanse, I feel them where I don’t feel them usually, like in my nose, eyes, ears and hair (might be allergic to wormwood or just itchy due to worms releasing toxins)!

I have tried everything! And I mean everything and still experimenting and reading on subject. If I ever find a cure I ll patent it and write a book.

One of my theories:

Reading posts on forums I notice it’s mainly women that can’t get rid of them. Maybe because they hide in vagina or…any ideas?

I have tried medical tape at all times to prevent them from escaping for years and taking mebendazole weekly sometimes daily changing doses, cleaning and disinfecting and washing laundry and moved, yes moved.  And I still get them back! Reinfection does not happen from the outside. Might be it happens from the inside, I consider eggs hatching in the anus and crawling back.

And it does anger me that in this time we don’t have a cure. And it is so unfair that no one does anything about it. I believe there are a lot more sufferers out there imagine how many never write anything,  just read.  Like me, I 've been reading these posts for about a decade.

Doctors playing fools and not doing anything, well I know how it sounds but I think we do need to start shaking our hands with them and see what will happen when they 'll try Ovex which won’t help.

Something is wrong here:

I think those threadworms have evolved like viruses do. Become smarter and more adaptive.

Or it’s just a different species.

 Or some of us are susceptive to them because of something like Candida overgrowth or some other condition.

 Keep note I have no children.

 

Or:

Some company like Ovex invested some decent amount of money into a lab where they develop threadworms that would never die! Or make sure pills don’t kill them forever. Or infest something or spread eggs regularly to infest people otherwise they would run out of clients.

Think about it! If drugs would work. Threadworms can be passed only through humans. If everyone just buys a pill and kills them, who would spread them? Animals don’t get them.

Sorry for all the craziness but when you live in a modern world that is about to break out with AI and we get uncurable parasites it makes you think and wonder why.

 

So things I 've tried and they helped.

1.Plugging – have to stop them from getting out, spreading eggs and giving sleepless nights.

Medical stretchy fabric tape does the job but comes off on activity. Vaseline is ok but doesn’t stop them completely. At first as with everything I try they just disappear (hide in different parts perhaps) then plot on how to break out :D and then return and fight back. They just go through Vaseline for me now. Did try Pyrantel horse dewormer as a plug, yep that’s how far I go. They would stop for a while and then just go through that. So if pyrantel is supposed to paralyse them, how the hell they are still wiggling they way out? If I tape my anus at all times ALL TIMES for years where do they hatch? The cycle happens inside!

2. Diatomaceous Earth – helps to kill worms in the intestine. It does help, but again they just move somewhere else, but I would advise to use it with any other method. Tried it as a plug, they would just go through.

3. Membedazole, pyrantel and albendazole – works in early stages, but with time they grow immune to those drugs or just hide.

4. Sugar – avoid at all costs! They do love it, and they make me love it too. It’s gone to the point I have tremors if I don’t get any. They are so good at controlling, they ll give me mood swings and anger if I don’t get enough sugar and carbs.

 

5.Obsessive cleaning-would not help. Of course, you need to maintain tidiness but pointless on wasting too much effort.  My experience: I moved for half a year, rented a small apartment, arrived with one suitcase, washed cleaned everything, took Vermox(mebendazole) every 2 weeks for many months and at the same time took a green walnut, wormwood and clove mixture for 4months with no result.  They just got so angry that crawled out my body to annoy me more. Conclusion: Infestation doesn't come from outside but inside. We cant break the cycle because it's in the body. 

Candida – I suspect I have candida because I have all the symptoms and more,  might that be the reason why some people are more susceptible to this infestation. Have a look at this video

I'll try to go on a Candida cleanse after I finish my current one and ll post an update.

I am also looking for clinical trials and have sent out emails, none are being done in this case.  This is so weird. Internet has been bursting with people suffering all over the globe and no one uses it as a business idea. It’s a money maker there and yet no one solves an issue.

I wish I could have had a medical education or come across a fortune, so I would dedicate my time to finding a simple cure.

So far it’s just us and I am glad to find out that I am not alone.

Please keep posting ideas and things you have tried.

I think this matter should be brought further. This is not normal that we suffer. So please give me advice on to who I can email? Might need to start collecting signatures for threadworm research.

I found out sat week I have threadworms.

My major issue is I’m 10 weeks pregnant so cannot take any medication.

I’ve been so ill since finding out I have them to the point I was admitted to hospital.

My symptoms where blood and mucas in diaorreha, sever abdominal pain! 

These symptoms are still going on now and I have at least 10 worms every time I wipe my back passage! 

I’m so down with it all and I literally feel sick with it all.

I’ve lost a stone in weight in 2 weeks!

Last week that was suppose to say x

I too have had worms once or twice a year for about 8 years now.  Just taken a dose of Mebendazole last night as I have them again.  With me it hardly ever gets to the itchy stage because I can feel that 'tickle' and when I check there they are - usually only one or two.  Then I take the medication and they go.

It is a mystery though why I get them as an adult and NEVER had them as a child and over the years I have googled it many times.  I wish I had saved a very a good document which was not created by a pharmaceutical company or someone selling a cure but a good quality paper or study result, as it would probably help calm people's fear about worms.

What I remember is that it is likely most people have them but just don't know they have them and it's only when they get a bit out of control in terms of numbers that they become noticeable.  The other thing was that they are harmless and probably even beneficial - there is a lot of research about the benefits of some parasites in humans in particular relating to Alzheimers, dementia in later life (don't quote me on that I can't remember the actual details!).

It also said that people do not report having worms because they are embarrassed and so the numbers are likely to be very high.  The other thing which, should give most people some comfort, is that obsessive cleaning is not going to achieve anything.  The eggs are microscopic and in dust, in other words everywhere.  Threadworms are intestinal and though I have read stories about them getting into other organs, inhaling them is not going to result in an infestation in the lungs.

No one else in my family ever gets them!  SO:  there must be something I am doing which is constantly reintroducing them in to my system and I think I know what it is.  The reason children get them so frequently is fingers in the mouth:  nail biting, thumb sucking, nose picking and finally eating with fingers which  *drum roll*  I do ALL the time because for about *drum roll* 8 years now I have been eating nuts  as part of my keto diet which I tried (and incidentally has been successful) to control migraines.  So I am constantly putting my fingers in my mouth often licking the salt from peanuts off my finger tips.  

I love nuts - I'm properly addicted!  Not sure I could ever give them up.

 

I don’t think there is much you can do to stop yourself getting these. I also think ALOT of people have them & just don’t know.  I have found the best prevention is simple hand washing ! No picking noses! I also de-worm the entire family at the end of every school term. As far as I have seen I have had them twice (I’m sure it’s been more though) the 1st time I didn’t even notice and the second time I was heavily pregnant, where I could feel every sensation! It was awful!!!! I have never felt so ill mentally!! I just couldn’t cope and developed OCD and anxiety. I was told by a doctor to take a Meb but this didn’t work! I had to put up with it for 3 months until I gave birth! It completely ruined the end of the pregnancy for me. However as I was unable to take any more meds as pregnant I decided to use the garlic in bottom solution! It was brilliant! Took me a few weeks to fully pluck up the courage but it stopped me being able to feel them and stop the layed eggs access to much oxygen ( I think I was being retroinfected where the eggs are layed just inside the anus) I did this for around 6 weeks initially and didn’t see or feel anything. I gave birth, Carried on with the garlic for a further 2 weeks as was bf then added a few other things in. After all this, I was clear, I don’t know what worked or if a mix of all but it worked. I took a 7 day course of meb. 2x morning and 2x evening all taken with a fatty meal! Something cheesy or creamy etc. This works as a carrier for the meds. I then had a 7 days break where mid week I went and had a colonic! To flush out any weak ones remaining. After the 7 days I repeated the course! With the garlic, I slightly squeezed in a presser, dipped into some coconut oil and then Inserted as far as possible. I hope this works for someone else. However they may still come back one day. But as long as I can’t see them or feel them it’s enough to let myself relax and just take scheduled meds as a precaution. If you have a heavy infestation you may want to continue meb course for a longer period of time but still having the breaks in between. I feel for anyone going through this & esp the ones losing the plot over this like I did! Keep trying things! They will go! I think garlic is the best thing ( but in the anus, not eaten)!! It may sting for a few seconds but then you can’t even feel it. And it has so many other benefits for your body being used this way. Good luck
