Is my house killing my family?

We have moved into a house in SoCal ( Southern California ) and have been living here for over a year and a half. There are 4 of us and my dog, we have all had recurrent headaches, stomach pain, in my sons case, he has to go to the bathroom at least 4 times a day. Skin crawling -  Little black splintered-like looking itchy things all over, they are almost microscopic. Unexplained weight gain in all of us, what used to be freckles, now have turned into blackish brown moles. Any energy we used to have is evaporated! It feels like something is slowly sucking the life out of us all!  Does anyone have any idea what is happening to us? I have had my children tested for mold, and myself, went to see a dermatologist- he gave us all cream for scabies, and I KNOW this is not bed bugs, there is no evidence of any bugs at all in my house. PLEASE HELP! I am sick of feeling crazy, infested with parasites!!
