Re: Worms in my head. Please help.

I was wondering if you ever got rid of those worms because I may have the same thing as you described. I am still waiting for the results of my stool and saliva tests and it seems like its taking forever. My doctor is going on vacation this week, so I won't be seeing him until next week. I remember seeing this message a while back and I did start drinking Sea Salt with warm water and that seemed to work temporarily. I still feel them crawling around in my head, temples, face and back and its very irritating. My doctor started me on mebendizol for a possible pinworm infection and bacterial vaginosis. To convince this doctor that I had worms, I had done some research to do a tape test and swab test by my rectum. I took those samples to this doctor to examine it to hopefully get a diagnoses of parasite infection, but he mentioned that it was not clear because it looked smeared although he thought he found a worm on one of the tapes. I was frustrated when he told me the results. I was certain that one of the tapes had indeed was one of the worms. When he prescribed me mebendizol he told me it would kill the worms too I was relieved, but I still feel them in me.

I also tried telling my family doctor that I need you to refer me to a infectious disease doctor, but I was not successful because i would need to be confirmed that I had a parasite infection. But the stool test he gave me turned up negative, so i am back to square one. However, i researched a good doctor in the area and even though i had to pay out of pocket, he believed my story and ordered a stool and saliva test that could look for the antibodies of a parasite. I was relieved that someone believed in me and didn't think i was a crazy. I mean even my own husband wouldn't believe I have worms. The only comfort I get is reading posts like these, which make me feel I am not alone. I think parasite infections are serious and need to be given more attention to these days because it is real and it really could kill you. I don't want to die. I want to live a normal life, but I haven't experienced that yet only time will tell. I just hope in God that he could give me a better life.
