Be careful at the doctor's office!

Oops Paranil. It's not an approved drug, just an herbal concoction. I decided to give it a shot and and did indeed see a live wiggling worm come out and crawl its way around for a good while before I flushed it.

Paranil

Not the sort of thing a doctor would go for I'm sure, but it was worth the money to me to give it a shot.

You think this is bad, try having a similar tube shoved up your nose and down your throat and into your stomach. NOT FUN.

I don't look forward to being old enough to get tests of this sort done frequently or regularly.

Age has nothing to do with the need for these tests.

Aren't they routinely recommended once you hit a certain age?

As to the nose thing, I'm sure it's not fun, but it doesn't sound anywhere near as humiliating. I think I'd rather take the pain.

Age has nothing to do with getting these problems. I was 21 when I first found out I had Crohns, although I had suffered through the syptoms for roughly 4 years.

You're missing the point just like the other poster did.

[wrongarm300]

Yes, they are recommended for people over 50 I think to check for colon cancer

I have an interesting story about worms...after a massive like 18hr drinking session with some other drugs thrown in I go to take a huge [censored], it's slightly green which was odd but I think I was drinking something with blue food colouring. Anyway I'm trying to clean the [censored] from my ass but it's just not cleaning off so I decide to jump in the shower. As I reach around there to clean this nastiness away with a yet of water, I pull from my ass what must have been a 8-10inch wrigling worm, but it happened so quick I just didn't really catch on what was going on just to see it slide down the drain. Anyway I never had the problem again obviously the worm was trying to espcape my body.

My mom had my grandma pull a tapeworm out of her the same way when she was a little kid.
