Help please! Looking for parasite doctor


I've been really sick for the past two months. I found out that the cat I rescued had roundworms for approximately 6 months after rescue. I did deworm the cat, but unfortunately he still had them. I ended up getting really sick in January and then saw a worm in my stool. My gp acted like I was crazy, because stool test came back negative. Luckily, I know an infectious disease doctor that was able to refer me to another ID doctor. I took mebendazole that GP prescribed and then started coughing up what looks like worms and saw one in my nose. I then took a blood test for toxocariasis, but it came up negative, so the doctor didn't want to treat me anymore. Then, my second stool test result came back with Charcot Leyden crystals, which is found in parasitic infections, so he treated me with Albenza. I'm twelve days out from ending my albenza treatment 400mg, 2 times a day, for 5 days. I started to cough up weird looking phlegm again yesterday. It 100% looks like small worms to me. I tried to tell my doctor today that I'm still having some issues. He basically started to treat me like I'm crazy and asked if I want antidepressants. I told him that I read that albendazole doesn't always work on first cycle. I showed him pics of what I coughed up and he told me to stop taking pictures. He didn't look at any pic. I'm a happy person, I just want to feel better. Does anyone know a good infectious disease doctor that won't make you feel crazy in NY, NJ, DE, PA, MD, DC? I appreciate any information. Thank you!
