Yeah, worms. On purpose. I paid for this.
After a consultation with the doctor, we decided 25 hook worms would be a good start. We went to a different room and he put some on a bandaid, and then put the bandaid on my arm. 
There was some heat after a few minutes, followed by some pin-prick feelings, and then some itching. The itching died down, I finished the wait of an hour, and with a sometimes itchy arm, we left.
I have directions on how to care for my worms, what to expect side-effect wise, and some medication on how to get rid of them, if I choose.
On the way home I started to work on a migraine. Not sure if it was a side-effect of the worms, or my lack of sleep and improper eating while on the road. I got a massage and took some Tylenol to help with the migraine, and before bed, took some Benadryl before sleep last night, as I couldn't bare to have another crappy sleep.
Sort of hive-looking itchy bumps where the worms have burrowed:
I woke up this morning and while a bit stiff from my Psoriatic Arthritis, I felt fine. My migraine is gone, and my arm is only itchy off and on. It's really not so bad.
Rash that looks like an itchy patch of eczema or jelly fish stings:
