Suicidal beacuse of pinworms
Posted , 10 users are following.
I am writing this as a last attempt to find some light in the pitch black tunnel that is chronic pinworms. A little over Two years ago i felt that familiar crawling, itching sensation in my butt. I had had pinworms twice as i child so i went to inspect and ofc my suspicions were confirmed. Little did i know that that was the beginning of the End of me. I have come to realise that some people simply never escape this hell and i am simply not strong enough to keep in living the way I am. To realise that no one, not even doctors or scientists can help me is a feeling of hopelessness i don’t wish upon anyone. I’m grieving the life i could have had if i hadn’t been cursed with pinworms. So in conclusion, pinworms are making me suicidal. I guess I’m not completely ready to give up yet though and that is why i am looking for anyone who has been in a similar situation to mine that actually got rid of pinworms for good.

Believe me when I say you are not alone. I have been suffering for 5 years. I have tried countless medication but it hasn't helped. I always feel as though I am suffering alone, so to see yours and other posts is reassuring to me. I am based in London and have heard that the specialists at the hospital for tropical diseases can help with this matter and will be making an appointment with them soon. What treatment/medication have you tried?

I agree this forum has really made me feel less alone in my situation:) I have only tried mebendazol beacuse where i live it's difficult to get stronger medication prescribed. However i have tried garlic capsules, changing my diet, msm and more. I really do believe that the answer as to why some of os cant rid ourselfs of these worms lies within our bodys ability to naturally proctect us against them. however as doctors seem oblivious to how many of us that suffer from chronic pinworms, there isn't a lot of reaserch on the topic. If one wants to read on it there is a study on on mice called " A role of Mast Cell Glycisaminglycans for the Immunological Expulsion of Intestinal Nematode, Strongyloides venezuelensis". In the study they mention chondroitin sulphate wich is the same thing Th Worm Whisperer talks about. Has anyone tried it succesfully?

Hi guys
I have had pruritus ani for 10 years so i completely understand the desperation and hopeless you are feeling. i have tried many things over the years including most of the things mentioned on this website (mebandazole about 30+ times! DE, garlic capsules, nettle tea etc , went to the tropical disease dept at hospital they gave me some drug i had asked for, can't remember what it was called, didn't work).
what i have started doing recently though which, i have found has alleviated my symptoms a bit is i use moist toilet paper to clean my bottom every time i visit the toilet. sounds insignificant but i have found it more effective than all the aforementioned things.
please also bear in mind, it may not be parasites causing the itch but a skin condition.
when i have been at rock bottom trying to deal with this issue, i find it helpful to go onto youtube and search for "a day in the life of someone with"...you will find videos of people living with extreme disabilities whom i imagine would do anything to swap their problems with ours.
and last, but definitely not least, pray to God to cure you. He can raise the dead, heal lepers, cure the blind. i pray that everyone on this website will receive healing.

I have considered that my issue might be something other than worms, however i really dont think thats the case. However beacuse of the lack of knowledge in this area amongst doctors they have are convinced i'm imagining the worms. i'm not gonna say that i'm 100% sure that i have worms but i'm like 96% sure.
I have total respect for the fact that there are people who have it way worse in life than I, I'm simply to weak mentally to deal with this.
Thank you though for your support it's really appreciated:)

hi there! i just want you to know ive been there mentally where you are. i have had these for 6 months now and i have in the past also been suicidal. i have come to an acceptance of the stage of life i am currently in. i am not giving up at all tgats not what I mean, but in order to heal and to stay focused on getting better we need to try to except the fact that we have worms and this is what is going on right now and we can’t do anything at the moment to change it. it took me a long time to get at that point up until recently I was pretty depressed, but I have started to see the light and see little tiny positive changes. For instance in the beginning I would feel the pinworms pretty much every day but now I feel them every 5 to 7 days and it lasts for about a day or two. I still definitely have them like 100% but I think I am getting the numbers lower. But still they will not leave fully which is frustrating, and I do have a terrible fear of having them forever but I try to not let my mind go there. I have plans in my mind of treatments I’d like to try that I have not yet tried and so that also helps me stay a little bit positive. That and prayer.

Honestly the past few weeks i have been in a much more positive state of mind:) i haven't felt as many symptoms and that has allowed me to think more reasonably. I will get back into contact with my doctor if the symtoms come back and I have also started thinking about the possibility of it being something other than worms. I think my obsession with the worms made my symtoms so much worse beacuse my mind started playing tricks on me. happy to hear that you to feel better mentally now: ) I have also started to explore spirituality and that has allowed me to feel that I am more than just my physical body and it's situation:)

hello
i truly understand where you are coming from, its totally unbearable, i've tried everything you can think of, everything. I stay in all day every day & have to constantly wipe. Good job i live on my own & don't work, my ex made me homeless after domestic abuse. i could never have a job due to constantly wiping, no one visits so can constantly wipe. i am ready to give up. its been constant for over 2 years. I'm desperate.

You have my sympathies. They also crawl out of my butt at night and sometimes I notice them in my stools. They are driving me absolutely mad. Last night I was so itchy that I could not sleep. I'm constantly uncomfortable and grumpy. Hard to believe hie something so small can case so my discomfort. It is at least some comfort to know that we aren't alone.

I can totally relate to your condition. I have severe itching in my butt as a result of pinworms that I cant get rid off. The itching is making me grumpy and completely out of sorts. Last night that itching and squirming in my backside with annoying me so much that I could not sleep. Did you find any solutions? It's just good to connect with people going through the same thing. For a while I thought I was alone.

hello everyone, i had completely forgotten about this site until a couple off days ago. my situation has improved, in the sense that this is no longer my main concern in life. dont get me wrong, it will probably always exist somewhere in the back of my mind, and come out of hiding whenever i feel bad about myself. however I've started to consider that i might actually have contamination ocd. or it's pinworms. i will never know for sure. sometimes i take a tincture of wormwood and black walnut, just incase. anyways, i just wanted to come here and tell you all that it gets easier. i really hope all of you find peace somehow.

You have to buy multipack of tablets. Trim your nails and DO NOT bite them no matter what. These things are difficult and i really struggled with them but thank god I got rid of them eventually. I think i was catching them from my ex or simply could not get rid of the infection but i bought a multi pack and i took them religiously every two weeks - been clear now for over 12 months. Maybe it is someone around you that is reinfecting you?
