I've had a strange sensation on the left side of my body for the past 3 years. It's not painful, feels almost ticklish, and is not in my muscles but in my brain. It prevents deep breaths and yawning, and I trip more on my left foot. I'm concerned due to family history of Parkinson's disease. What could be causing this sensation and what can I do about it?

I have had a cough for 11 days, which is constant throughout the day and sometimes accompanied by an itchy throat. The cough is with phlegm and tends to be dry, but there is no tightness in my chest. I am taking Fluimucil and Bioflu for the cough, and I am 26 years old with no significant medical history. I do not have a fever, and there is no change in taste or smell. The main issue is pain and difficulty swallowing. What should I do?

About 3 days ago, I noticed significant swelling and firmness in my left inner elbow, which causes numbness in my thumb, index, and middle fingers when pressure is applied. The swelling has reduced but the firmness and lump remain, causing intermittent pain, especially when my arm is bent for extended periods. I have a history of rheumatoid arthritis and recently had a blood draw and vaccinations. What could be causing this and what should I do?

If I contracted HIV 6 years ago from protected sex with a female, would I possibly have any symptoms by now? I have had no symptoms of HIV and have not been tested for HIV. My recent blood tests and liver function tests show normal results, but I read that globulin tends to be high if HIV is present. What are your thoughts?
