I believe it is a pork Tapeworm as well plus hook and round - they seem to have taken up condo residence in my ear and then move along wherever they chose. It is getting better but very slowly and many days are difficult as I am always in pain and tired. I see an ent next week and wonder if I should mention the parasitic issue or not. I will have a letter from my ND re intestinal parasites but not stating that it is systemic as that seems to scare professionals away. I thought I might just not do my cleaning routine that day and he could see what I am dealing with. any thoughts on this strategy? The ent is one of the top docs available in my area and has access to a very good medical facitliy so I am hesitant to come off as crazy which has happened with other docs and some family members who are very unknowledgable re parasites
