My head feels full and my face, head, and body feel odd. I have had this for two days, sometimes my feet feel like they have electricity, and my hands rarely. I feel tingling in my face and head. I am currently taking ibuprofen and recently stopped taking macrobid. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dad has been experiencing a fever (99.5°F), headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, chest pain when taking deep breaths, and numbness in his feet for a few weeks. He was diagnosed with a closed head injury and a flu (not COVID-19) after visiting the ER, where they conducted blood tests and CT scans. He also has a history of hepatitis C, ITP, and a previous severe thigh infection. What could be causing these symptoms and what should be done to help him?

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 18 years ago and recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's based on my lab results. My TSH levels have been fluctuating between hypo and hyper states after surgeries. My TSH is now normal, and TPO antibodies are within normal limits. However, I read that having antibodies despite normal TSH levels indicates Hashimoto's, not hypothyroidism. Is this true, and how should this be interpreted? Also, how does this affect treatment compared to hypothyroidism?

I have seen two doctors who did not find it necessary for further testing. I am concerned about these symptoms and would like to know if neurological problems could be a concern and what steps I should take next.

I am 21 years old and have deep wrinkles and lines on the head of my penis, both when flaccid and erect, due to repeated friction and unlubricated rough masturbation during puberty. Is there anything I can do to return my glans to a smooth appearance? This issue causes me significant depression.
