Re: Pinworms

Hi bluerabbit, thank you very much for your advice and kind words. They are comforting. My husband doesn't understand why I feel like this about it, and thinks I am overreacting. It is a lonely fight.

Unfortunately I cannot take any more maternity leave, I have exhausted the 12 months we get in the UK and they want me back asap. Anyway, I am not sure if I will last long at work, because this is affecting me so much, that I doubt I'll be able to keep the job. It is quite stressful as it is.

I have ordered some abendazole from an online pharmacy, and let's see if I find the courage to have it. And I am willing to try the pyrantel thing as well, but I do have a constipation problem, whether it is actually caused by the pinworms themselves I am not sure.

Did you get a diagnose for Tapeworm then? I am going to go back to my GP and demand he sends me to an ENT especialist, to check out that discharge from my sinuses and ears. They did a blood test to see if I could have parasites travelling in my blood but it came back negative. i don't understand, I thought they got to my sinuses through my blood? Anyways, they need to look at those things and identify them.

As for praying... I am not religious (lapsed catholic here), but I don't find it offensive you suggest that.

Thanks again, and best of luck. I hope we will be able to post back here with success stories. Tweet
