What can I stick up my bum tonight to keep the worms in?

Since the nasty doctor won't prescribe me anything for threadworms what would you recommend to prevent them coming out?

Was thinking gigantic dollop of Vaseline but then began to wonder of there might be something more toxic I could use.

I've heard Garlic is good, but I don't think I could cope with a whole clove up there for the entire night.

Thank you chevre for that informative reply. I shan't google as I am squeamish and your reply tells me all I needed to know.

Lol at "trick is to stop ingesting the eggs" - made it sound like some people are scrambling them and serving on toast!

see another doctor
I'm sure I got treatment while pregnant and was only having it as we suspected ds might have them

btw can't believe you're this far on already. It makes me smile reading it

you can't be that squeamish if you are thinking about having them on toast [boak]. take care and i hope it works and good luck with the impending event!

Alright then, I'll tell you...I had such a sore bottom that I got constipated and the only way i could poo was squatting (I have pelvic floor issues and am not supposed to strain), so I squatted over DS's old potty and saw the horrid things wiggling at me when i went to empty the contents down the loo, I nearly screamed and I'm not generally squeamish. that was a fun evening i can tell you.
PS Wigglybeezer is a scottish name for a hairy caterpillar, nearly appropriate.

Eeek

hobbgoblin · 29/06/2009 22:50

Okay.

Tight pants - check
Coleslaw supper (with carrot) - check
Garlic clove and Vaseline at the ready - check
Industrial lamp (bought for homebirth purposes - check
Alarm set for early morning bath - check

Wiggly, how grim!

I will post more detail on bumsex Friday night.

I keep seeing this in the 'threads I'm on' section and keep wondering how you got on that night? (sorry, weird I know).

Hi

I wore two pairs of pants! I was okay but found a whopping great worm on DS1 when I did the rounds with my torch about midnight!

So, they have all had ovex and today I saw consultant and now I have drugs! not taken yet, but also seen no more worms...

yay! glad you've got the drugs now and thank you for satisfying my rather weird curiosity..

Thank heavens - I has images of you going into labour with garlic and vasaline up your bum! Would have suprised the midwife!
