skull change

I'm 59 yrs. old & my skull changes shape & size all the time now.  It didn't used to.  It has gotten a lot higher up from the base of my neck & wider side to side.  It changes all the time, even from day to day, for months now, both contracting & expanding in different areas.  I have read about tapeworms getting started in the brain & wonder if that can cause this to happen & I read about abnormal proteins accumulating in the brain & if this can be symptoms of that.  My left leg above the knee had an area that got covered up with what looked like mosquito bites while climbing up a boat ladder two years ago in the tropics.

   Since you were in the tropics, you might want to see a doctor about T cruzi or see someone at your local Health Dept.  They usually have a doctor there who is affiliated with the C.D.C.    You could've been bitten by a kissing bug.  They spread a disease with trypanasomes  (very thin worms) that can invade any part of your body.
   So sorry this is happening to you.  I was bitten by a kissing bug and have lots of health problems.
  Wishing you the best.
