Nice to know that they then share the more interesting exams with family and on Youtube. I had my first colonoscopy last month, a fairly unpleasant experience that I paid for.

Nastiest itching/tickling sensation ever around the anus. Two things that led to my incident as a child were having an indoor/outdoor pet combined with thumbsucking. If I ever felt like playing CIA, I'd torture my victims by giving them pinworms and shackling their hands against the wall. I can't think of anything more excruciating. It even beats having my big toenail torn out. You can sure feel pinworms, which are a type of roundworm. Nastiest itching/tickling sensation ever around the anus.

This was great. It falls under the umbrella of 'things I am not allowed to *show* my husband, but enjoy describing to him from the other room.' (This umbrella heading came about after I showed him a BME blog post from the 'Hard' gallery in one of the 'guess what' games. Yeah.) I do enjoy seeing things like this, that you can't see on your own. I had a colposcopy to check up on some funky cells, and had the doctor take an extra photo for me to take home. Apparently, I was the first person in his entire career to ask - though, he was quite young! Maggie, I love you. This was great.

Technically, I suppose pinworms are roundworms too in that they're also part of the phylum Nematodes, but the common name roundworms ("You have roundworms. That dog has roundworms.") usually refers to ascarids. Roundworms don’t come out to play at night; you’re thinking of Enterobius vermicularis, the pinworm.
