still sick with worms?

Hi I think I may still have worms (I posted earlier).  I feel some movement in my rectum with a little pain and bleeding afterwards.  I have hemmaroids so I don't know if that could cause that?  My cortisol was 2.4 in the afternoon and I had low VD but corrected it.  I feel better slightly after having a bowel movement after I had drank a pineapple shake and eaten some fresh pineapple and papaya seeds.
My GI doc doesn't want to give me anti parasite meds since my flex sig test came back negative with stool samples.  but I still have this strange sensation of movement.
I use bipap for only like 2 hours a night and have headaches when I don't use it.
thanks very much!

Hello again,

In general, you should continue to work with your primary care provider regarding your symptoms. If you do have hemorrhoids, then you might consider asking what options your provider recommends for treatment or symptomatic control.

Based on your recent posting (dated10/16/2011), it also sounds like your duration and quality of sleep is not adequate. Poor sleep and insufficient sleep are associated with daytime sleepiness and fatigue.

If you have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, an average 2 hours of use of the CPAP machine each night is not considered to be adequate treatment. You should consider working with your provider and a sleep medicine specialist to increase the time that you use the CPAP machine.
