A member asked:

Which parasite is linked with loss of hair, itchy skin, indigestion and increasing waistline?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No parasite, but: This very subjective nonspecific list of symptoms commonly go with hypothyroidism. See your family doctor for a complete physical and a few tests if you feel things are not quite right.
