I have been experiencing extreme burning pain down the right side of my body, which subsided slightly but has led to new lesions. The pain has been ongoing for 6 years and is accompanied by a rash that does not respond to anti-fungal or anti-viral medications. I have also been diagnosed with Hoshimotos and have a history of constipation and severe central body pain. I have tried Zatidor eye drops, which seem to have stopped blisters from forming. I have seen multiple doctors, but no one has been able to provide a clear diagnosis. What could be causing this and how can I get a clear answer?

I have no thyroid glands due to a goiter removal and have been on levothyroxine. My doctor has reduced my dosage, resulting in high T4 and low T3 levels, causing symptoms like dry skin, hair loss, and difficulty sleeping. I also have hemocromatosis and take blood pressure and pain medications. What medications might interfere with levothyroxine absorption, do I need to take T3, and is there a better thyroid supplement I could use?

I have two lumps, one on each side of my jaw. One is pea-sized, the other is small bean-sized, both less than 1 cm. They are not soft but not rock hard and are very mobile when touched. No pain, and I've had them for about 3 weeks. I don’t have any night sweats, weight loss, or fatigue. I also haven’t been sick. Is this cancer?
