Losing sensation all over my body

Hi, I'll try and keep this as short as possible. But basically looking for some other opinions here. Over the past 3 weeks I've experienced some crazy symptoms. It all started with what I thought was a rash on my penis after masturbating. What I've now found out is an allergic reaction and I've been diagnosed with an extremely rare disease called POIS. I also have Hashimoto's disease and over the past 3 weeks have been getting progressive numbness all across my body. (teeth, tongue, gums, neck, arms, legs, fingers, and bottom of feet.) Everything is bilateral and equal on both sides and they all showed up simultaneously. My skin also feels extremely dry, and like my muscle is wasting away. Although I haven't lost any weight which is weird.

Also found out that my Testosterone is is 231 which is extremely low for my age (30), and also that I have a slipped disc in my c5-c6 cervical area.

My doctors have said the slipped disc wouldn't cause the widespread numbness. My question is could my low testosterone be causing the widespread numbness? My muscles and everything seem to be weakening which is scary. Just curious on what other people thought.

I've had MRI's of my whole spine and brain and my neurologist said I don't have MS or any nerve damaging diseases, so I'm at a bit of a loss. My rheumatologist also suggested I may have caught covid, but I doubt it. What do you think?
