Two weeks ago DC1 woke screaming and eventually we clocked he had threadworm I will never unsee it .
Cue a trip for DH to late night pharmacy, a lot of distraction and we survived the rest of the night.
I later thought about it and realised (yes I know I’m an idiot) that he’s had it weeks, and that I think I have it too. I thought I just had a thrush-like irritation going on around my bottom (sorry about this).
So we dosed him up, we all took the pills too as directed, and kept an eye on little DC2, who was showing no signs.
Seemed all fine.
A week later she starts up with it. So we all take another dose. And as per instructions, wash and launder every bloody thing again.
Here’s the thing - I’m certain I still have it. I have a frequent, if not constant crawling sensation. It’s driving me insane.
I took another dose today which is not the guidance but I’m honestly starting to freak out.
I feel queasy at the thought of it, it’s putting me off food, I am repulsed, I can’t sleep for feeling it and thinking about it, and it’s not exactly conducive to a love life.
I googled today and got the horror stories of people saying they can’t get rid of it and that you should be taking meds every day, and all sorts of things.
It’s making me feel ill and I don’t feel comfortable talking much about it with DH as I hate the thought of him thinking too much about me having it.
I know we’re all grown ups and it’s fairly common, but come on, it’s not very appealing is it!
It’s getting me down so much.
Aibu to ask you lot to talk to me about it please? Any experience with it? Words of reassurance?
