Pinworm madness
Okay. I've been reading some forums on this site ever since my first dose of albendazole... 11 months ago. I first got pinworms in my third trimester of pregnacy, and had to deal with that during the actual labor! My husband must really love me to wipe my ass for me every 30 minutes as I had my epidural in. Anyway, my obgyn never believed me. I "tape tested" a few times but was negative. So I dismissed it to being just random itchiness. Then found worms in poop. They really had time to infest me if I had them in second trimester, because I went 3 weeks with no BM at one point! So after giving birth, my GP prescribed that "miracle one dose pill" that "clears infection fast". So hopeful, I take it. Nothing happened except it being WORSE the next day. At that point they were crawling aLloyd the time. I waited a few days, and decided to call, before my 2nd dose. They gave me more and still nothing. In embarrassment I changed docs, got more meds and STILL they didn't go. After one dose, I even started bleeding with biting pains. I've seen 2 gps, infectious disease, and a gi specialist. My family haso been treated many times, even though testing negative. My husband got it and was cleared with meds. But still only I have it 24/7. There is no "reinfection" 2 months later. There's just no stopping! My hygiene is insane. I mean, I spend 1k/month on otc meds taken daily, gloves, dust masks, wipes. Etc. I don't touch anything without a wipe or gloves. Doctors think I'm delusional since their meds don't work as they read they would. And docs really are clueless. I've heard the dumbest things. My life used to be wonderful! I was beautiful, I have money, huge house, great child, husband, family, but I can't enjoy any of it because of this constant worms! I became fat, I don't leave the house, my husband is leaving me, all because this is making me a monster!
Sorry this isn't written well, I'm very brain-fogged and upset
