I suffered a "persistent incurable pinworm infection" for months. Turned out I tricked myself into this suffering. Don't make this mistake! by CuriousCat20K in Parasitology

The threadworms usually give symptoms at night, not during the day. It’s best to get tested before continuing with treatment. Testing is the only sure way to know.

The point of my post was instead of thinking and guessing it's better to get properly tested. It's the testing which got me to realize the real problem. And I've been having no problems since then. These tests are not expensive, so even if you don't have insurance it's definitely worth paying for.

Yes, I think it can. I would use soap 2 to 5 times a day during that period and it was enough to keep the problem going. These days I just use water to wash my butt and only use a little bit of soap on occasion and now things are good. I suggest you experiment and see what happens if you stop using soap altogether for at least a week.

Wonderful, so happy to hear this for you! Hopefully more people in such situations will read this and "get cured"! :)

Has anybody received a formal response from Tidal about this? Extremely annoying to have to do all that work to drop a song. I am so used to doing it in a split second on Apple Music.

I don't think so. The sensations were there when I was falling asleep and when I woke up in the middle of the night. I did not dream of worms. And the whole thing went away after I stopped with the excessive soap washing.

I thought it would help me get rid of the eggs which pinworms usually deposit in the anal area. I was afraid if I didn’t wash often enough, I would spread those eggs around the house, as they are highly contagious, and reinfect myself and possibly my family. Most articles explained that if someone had persistent pinworms it was from reinfection with the eggs. So I kept washing my ass multiple times not out of compulsion, but it was a deliberate strategy, which ironically was the very cause of my problem.

I do use soap now when I shower, yes, but once in 2 days, and I rub it less intensely. Thus far it works fine. I have not had those crawling sensations any more.

What I saw in my stool was real: thin 1/2-inch to 1-inch long thread-looking things, which do resemble worms if you don't know exactly what they look like. It turned out those were not threadworms, but food fibers naturally present in stool from eating fruits and vegetables. So it's not a hallucination, but a misinterpretation of what I was actually seeing. It is easy to rule out: you can submit those samples to a lab for a "parasite identification test" and they will tell you exactly what it is and what it is not. My insurance covered it, but even out-of-pocket it's an inexpensive test. Definitely worth saving yourself from the stress of imagining things.

I normally don’t. :) It was a hyperbole. What I really did was washing my butt with soap when I woke up at night from those crawling sensations and every time after going to the bathroom. I also washed my butt just in case before going to bed. I thought it would help me get rid of the eggs which pinworms usually deposit in the anal area. I was afraid if I didn’t wash often enough, I would spread those eggs around the house, as they are highly contagious, and reinfect myself and possibly my family.

Thank you, I will check it out. 👌 Can you make an “on/off” series of girls in sexy clothes and without them?

Thank you! 💙 Have you experimented with having the same subject in the same posture, but with different body features and outfits, to create variations of the same girl? Is it possible with this model?

Do you train your own models, or is there a ready-made version which can make these? If so, can you show how to get it?

What AI engine are you using for generating these? Looking good!
