If u don't mind me asking when u said "I was told that I had this," what exactly is "this?" Just so you know swollen lymph nodes(throat)is very common. I would be more than happy to help u with a list of symptoms but I would need to know for what. The best thing to do is put " parasite symptoms" into google and just check out the first few pages of results. Stay dilligent because u might be totally freaked out by a certain symptom and not see any people with similar problems for several websites you visit some obscure little blog or such and such with someone who has exactly all the issues you are having. And who knows maybe that same person has some miracle cure as well. And I would love to agree with you on "better out than in" but when there are alive things coming out of your scalp I would just prefer not to see it. Of course if they were leaping to their deaths outside my head and staying out I suppose that wouldn't be so bad. Anyway, good luck. If I can help u in any way let me know.
