I get some left eye pressure sometimes and sometimes headaches behind my left eye for a few years now. Sometimes when i miss a dose of
antibiotics my left eye will get really pink and hurt alot. well the other day i was laying in bed and the sun was coming through i had my eyes
shut and sometimes people will see spots or cirles but instead i seen a punch of little dark speckles. i Focused my eye the best i could and
it turned out that these speckles were tiny worms i could make them out 100% perfectly in great detail. I thought maybe i was just imagining
this so i did a little research on it and googled up some images on google and sure enough i'm pretty sure i found the culprit. i'm almost
positive it is a worm that is called Trichinosis. Its supoosely really rare and very few cases of it are reported annually. But whats
so scary is that i have almost every sympton that these worms cause. My question is i want to be able to confirm this is what the parasite is
and wondering if there was some kind of doctor that speializies in parasites so that i can get the proper tests done. After doing some reading
on this type of parasite i believe this is playing a huge role in why i'm not getting better. As they have found over 10 chronic
infections in me inluding a chronic RMSF infection which is very rare since i've been on antibiotics now for over a year and a half.

I'm sorry but I do not know which tests you might take regarding worm identification, but hopefully someone else here might have some answers. In my case, I suspected parasites so I just went ahead and treated for them.
You might ask your LLMD about some of this?
Regarding the 10 or so infections... it can seem quite overwhelming at times. One by one, they will fall away over time.
