Ivermectin for Strongyloidiasis "I have recently taken my third round of Stromectol for a skin condition that I describe as 'worms beneath the skin'. My dermatologist prefers to call my condition, 'V's rash'. I am using Stromectol with a daily dose of 200mg doxycycline. Yes, it does make me nauseous, but worth it. Stromectol has worked the best this third time. I begin my second phase today, as I began the third course two weeks ago. I've had no 'activity' in the skin since the third round began. Hope this last dose helps these."

For Strongyloidiasis "After seeing about 8 different doctors, two of the doctors somewhat believed me when I relayed my symptoms to them because they are so unbelievable and insane. I’ve since diagnosed myself with what is a terribly extreme parasitic infection for which ivermectin is used as treatment. I took 12 mg on day one. I see a mass exodus of parasites from my body. Unfortunately, I’m unsure if this is the norm for this affliction or if the ivermectin is working. I took a second dosage of 12 mg on day 6. Same outcome. Mass exodus, nothing new, nastiness abounds. I’ve become skeletal from not eating for 6 weeks-living on Ensure and Pedialyte due to my refusal to eat after witnessing the constant disgust emanating from my tongue and behind my teeth (a wad of paper towels in my mouth is commonplace for 5 weeks now). I cannot afford to lose any more weight, so I’m taking the third dose of 12 mg on day 12 in hopes that it works and I’m cured, as the other review authors here. I’m getting desperate."

For COVID-19 "My husband (48) and I (44) took Ivermectin trying to protect us from Covid. Side effects were awful: stomach pains, nausea, diarrhea, and my husband had really bad blurred vision and dizziness. He stopped taking it after 3 weeks because of side effects. I hoped it would work better than it did, but we both still got Covid 4 weeks after starting Ivermectin. My son, who refused to take Ivermectin since he was vaccinated for his job (mandated), didn’t get Covid, although he is currently staying with us. I think it was all for nothing since we’re both still so sick after 16 days, and my son didn’t have any of these side effects with his vaccine and also didn’t even get sick! Worth noting that the ER doctor said my husband was already weak and dehydrated when he got Covid-19 since he’d been having diarrhea for weeks before, from the Ivermectin. I don’t recommend taking Ivermectin, it didn’t keep us from getting Covid, and we are still really sick with Covid."

For COVID-19 "I am a 38-year-old female and took ivermectin for 9 days. I would rate my experience as 1/10. I started ivermectin 2 days after getting a positive COVID-19 test. I don’t think ivermectin works at all! I have pneumonia, and I can barely breathe. I can hardly walk, and I can’t keep food down and literally feel like death. I have literally been having diarrhea, nausea, and sometimes throwing up since I started it, and so I don't know if it's from the COVID or the ivermectin, but on advice from urgent care, I stopped it today to see if maybe I’m having a bad reaction. This sucks! I can’t believe I’m still sick at almost 2 weeks. Can’t hardly move or anything. I’m taking steroids, albuterol, and antibiotics now. I know I’ll get crap for it, but I’m getting the vaccine ASAP because this hasn’t done anything but make me MORE sick than I probably would have been with just COVID by itself!"
