I'm really worried about my dad. His hands and feet swell up if he's sitting for too long, and it doesn't seem like they return to normal the way they used to. We're considering looking into ESR levels but could really use some advice on that. Also, are there specific foods he could eat that might help to get his ESR back to normal?

I've been having these symptoms for about 7 months now, like this weird internal fever where I feel hot inside, but it doesn't show up on a thermometer. I also get frequent headaches and this annoying pain in my joints, especially in my hands and legs. It's gotten to the point where I'm just not motivated to do anything. What do you think might be going on with me?

I've been dealing with gout and high uric acid for about six months now. I've been taking LOGOUTSR 250mg three times a day after meals. There's been a shortage of this medication, so I'm a bit concerned and wondering if you could suggest an alternative for me. Any advice on what I can do would really help.
