I have a tendancy to ramble, so forgive me in advance...
Long story short - I've always suffered from constipation and depend on gentle laxative teas to help me along...
Back in May we visited an amusement park and the kids got sick and we discovered they had pinworms. The whole family took medicine and flushed our bowels with laxatives non stop for weeks. The pinworms are now gone... but treatment did one of two things to me... either it woke up a monster
parasite load that i previously had no symptoms of... or all the medication + flushing + pooping aggravated or uncovered a much bigger problem.
What I have been experiencing since the second week in July:
Bloody mucous in bowel movements - it's almost like big chunks of dark red jello that doesn't break easily but is thick.
Also, I have this strange feeling inside my butt... the only way I can describe it is like a fluttering sensation like something is moving around like 3-4
inches in. It's compareable to early fetal movement, but not anywhere close to my uterus.. it's directly inside my butt, in the center. I guess the colon goes off to the left but this is in the center. Sometimes it's stronger than a flutter and when I take
parasite meds and co-q10, the feeling gets stronger and the bloody mucous increases.
That's about it... I'm trying to think of other reasons why I am feeling this.
In 1998 after the delivery of my son, I had developed a painful hemorrhoid that has come and gone since then. I'm wondering if it could have grown into a bigger, internal hemorrhoid/s that is just throbbing or somehow making it feel lile something is moving around?
I see a GI specialist on 8/11 but not very confident about them finding an answer or solution that day. I'm trying to explore all possibilities... even though I'm almost positive its
parasite related. I'm not in a healthy state of mind at the moment. Finding live worms in your child's poop is traumatizing and I have worm paranoia... but I have to be careful about expressing how I'm feeling because everyone thinks I'm crazy. I'm at the point where i DO feel crazy... i have done nothing but layed in bed crying for a solid week and a half. My kids deserve more... they should be enjoying their summer, not holed up in the house because mom is not well. but i am not imagining this feeling i have. Something in there is moving. If I'm not infected with a large worm or worms, then WHAT is it??
2 weeks of searching for an answer and the only thing i can come up with is that it could be internal hemmorhoids.
Does anyone else get that feeling with theirs? Its not throbbing either.. the movement isn't consistently the same like you'd have with throbbing.
