I have been having the same symptoms as both of you for quite awhile now. Just when I think I am turning the corner, I get a wave of new, but similar symptoms. The itchy, broken out scalp; the constant sinus problems(itchy, mucous,visible worm-like discharge) and facial breakouts with itch and cyst-like Acne with demodex style issues. I think the rope parasite is also involved; as I have back and forth digestive problems. I also think candida or some other yeast or fungal overgrowth is assisting the mites and worms while I experiment with different herbal and holistic remedies that don't appear to be a long-term solution. Getting pretty disillusioned and desperate because a relapse is like a fire hose blasting you when you are already drowning.
