Reason For Suffering From Constipation, Rapid Weight Gain, Occasional Dizziness And Eye Pain. Stool Test Negative For Parasite

Is there a parasite that can go undetected,by burrowing under the skin,around the rectum area.Possibly disguised as a hemoroid.?I know I have some kind of a parasite in my body!I have sent so many stool samples off,only to come back negative.No one believes me.I also believe my dog has this parasite.Constipation,unusal rapid weight gain,occasional dizziness.I also think there is a possibilitgy of this parasite burrowing into areas,such as your finger and toe joints.Looks like a caterpillar.Worst symptom is eye pain.I have seen,with a magnifying glass and I have found some very unusal microscopic insects.

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

There is no such parasite. More possible is that you have hypothyroidism. Weight gain, constipation, dizziness can all be caused by this condition. Other possible reasons are medicines (anti-depressants, Ca-blockers).

I suggest you to stop thinking about parasites. Please have thyroid tests done.

Regards.
