I am sorry for your situation. Consider contacting the infectious disease department of any regional medical school or large hospital. If anyone can help it will be these people.

Unless you travelled to a poor country, you are unlikely to have worm infestation. Malabsorption is a more likely explanation. It would be prudent to consult a GI specialist. S/he could also examine your stool for parasites, Wish you good health!
