extremely embarassing..
This is really embarassing, but I've had worms for a number of years and when I was younger I took the medication but it didn't help and I still had it. I estimate I've had it for about 8 years, maybe longer. Its never really had an effect on me, except being very itchy. I'm started to worry that it will cause long-term health effects on me. I'm too scared to tell my mother as its pretty gross.. is there anything at all I can do? Should I not be worried?
Thanks.

Don't be embarassed. It's just like having lice or anything else. Your mom will probably be shocked only about the fact that you hadn't come to her sooner (but still, don't be afraid to tell her).
Intestinal worms can cause a number of problems, mild or major (look it up online-it's pretty scary) so get to the doctor! This problem can be treated in less than a week or two with medication .

OH MY GOD YOU HAVE TO TELL YOUR MOM!! this could turn into something really serious. you could research them online before you tell her. its not good to have parasites in you for years, and so you really should talk to a doctor and a gaurdian. i know thats not what you want to do but you MUSSST tell her.

I know you REALLY don't want to talk about this but you have to either tell your mother or go to your doctor. The doctor might not want to look or do anything..but perhaps he could give you something better than what you have now. Remember, you can always go to the doctor without your mum knowing...but it is best to tell her...
G'luck!

You need to go to the doctor and get it taken care of. If one medication doesn't work they will try another one.
They can lead to other health problems if not taken care of.
If you don't get them taken care of they will spread to other family members.
Don't be embarrassed to tell your mom about it. Go get it taken care of.
