Is It Possible That The Debilitating Intestinal Worm Infection Can Lead To Blindness And Severe Skin Disease?

Thank you, I have an advanced, debilitating intestinal worm infection. The larvae have killed all my hair follicles, they re living on my skin, my eyelids are swollen, I can see them in my eyes. I have been to several doctors, they have not tried very hard to diagnose them, because they don t believe me. According to the extensive research I have done my symptoms are textbook, however after this length of time (over 2 years) I could die, or go blind suddenly at any point. Thank you, Anne I can t see your terms and conditions, but I would do anything to be free of this nightmare. It has caused me to watch helplessly while I lost everything I Love.
