    Do you have any ideas where you might have picked up the worm/parasite? I think the medicines they prescribe are designed to kill specific critters and just like antibiotics. If you're not taking the appropriate medicine, it won't help much. Try to find pictures online that match what you have seen in the toilet so at least you get an idea what you are dealing with.
