I have fever and severe headache, nausea and feeling cold, do I have Typhoid fever?

I am 20 years old and was diagnosed with Typhoid when I was 14 years old. I underwent treatment but a relapse of Typhoid occurred, as per the doctor when he examined the next report. Thereafter, I was vaccinated for 3 years against typhoid.
Now I had been suffering from fever since a week and other symptoms and was asked to get my blood tested. The doctor has told me that it is typhoid yet again. I I am 20 years old and was diagnosed with Typhoid when I was 14 years old. I underwent treatment but a relapse of Typhoid occurred, as per the doctor when he examined the next report. Thereafter, I was vaccinated for 3 years against typhoid.
Now I had been suffering from fever since a week and other symptoms and was asked to get my blood tested. I had fever and severe headache, nausea, extreme cold and feeling cold. The doctor checked the report and has told me that it is typhoid yet again. I have attached a report of my test. I want to know if I am on the right track or not. On the internet I found some relevant information (on web-Salmonella typhi H and O titres greater than or equal to 1:160 occurred in respectively 82% and 58% of typhoid fever patients; only 4% of healthy individuals and 8% of non-typhoid patients had Widal titres greater than or equal to 1:80. In typhoid fever, the H titre is elevated earlier and more frequently than the O titre. Antibody rise is maximal during the second week of illness. Antibiotic treatment did not affect the rise of antibody titre in typhoid fever. A single Widal test in an unvaccinated Ethiopian patient showing H and/or O titres greater than or equal to 1:160 and typhoid-like symptoms is strongly strongly suggestive of typhoid fever.) but I couldn’t understand if my doctor is giving me treatment according to that information.

I have severe pain and muscle spasms, is it fibromyalgia?

I have severe pain and muscle spasms with a drop in barometer pressure. Then when pressure returns to close to normal my body is sore and still spasms. I have been told I have fibromyalgia. I do have pain on a every day basis and migraines. I just can’t emphasize enough on how much pain I am in when pressure drops or with wind. Dr’s look at me like “oh really “. I’m seriously getting so distraught. I can barely function. I’m a RN and love my job but I’m coming to the conclusion it’s really effecting my job. All I can do is work ( and that’s every day struggle, sometimes I cry on the way home because I’m so tired and in pain). I take all the meds related to Fibromyalgia and still no relief. Blood work shows no inflammatory problems. Dr ‘s say must be Fibromyalgia. I am just asking if anyone else has any ideas of what could be going on. Thank you. Desperate

I may have caught an STD, took Viread?

I am a 43 year old male and I feel so stupid. I got drunk in Las Vegas with some friends at a bachelor party, and ended up having sex with a “massage parlor” worker later in the night, a girl from Thailand. She gave me oral sex and then we had vaginal sex. I didn’t touch her vagina with my fingers. Earlier in the evening, i had trimmed myself in my pubic area and had a slight abrasion, no bleeding. I used a condom with her, and she even checked to see if it was intact, it was. She then wiped me down toward the tip of my penis with a Kleenex. I then went to the bathroom and urinated. About 6 hours later, my penis slightly felt discomfort after I peed again.
Now i am scared that i caught something, this all happened 4 days ago. The next day after the sex, I took a pill of Viread (tenofovir) and took it for four days. Viread is for chronic hepatitis and also used sometimes for HIV. I read that some people used it for post or pre exposure prophylaxis to HIV (as a part of Truvada). I was given some Viread pills from a close friend who actually had extras because he does have chronic hepatitis. What are my chances of having caught a disease or HIV? Do I need to worry about this because I am very worried. What should i do doctor? Do I need to be on meds or do I need to get tested? Thank you!

I have pimples that look like tiny worms, tried ivermectin?

Help me please! I pulled this out of my face. It looked like a pimple. I have other pimples that now look like tiny worms in my face, arms, and legs. I expelled one 2 inches long in my in my stool. It was flat with dark then light square pattern. I have tried ivermectin in desperation. But I don’t know if that’s what I should be taking and how long to take it. They came out my eyes too, looked like little hairs and larvae. I had slight edema in my ankle and sometimes feel stickyness on my skin. I keep getting things inside me. I was cleaning a dirty stove today and a red dot attatched to my leg, that turned into a worm after I tried to scrape it off. It then had little ones spread around it. I’m really scared. Please help me!

My son was diagnosed with Charcot Marie Tooth disease type 2a1 he is also getting a “constricted’ feeling in his throat. Is this normal?

Good day. I have a son, age 14. He was diagnosed with Charcot Marie Tooth disease type 2a1 about 8 years ago – we did genetic testing, and it is the MFN2 gene. he is wheelchair bound, with little use of his hands and legs. However, for the last few days he is also getting a “constricted’ feeling in his throat. Is this ‘normal’ for this disease? It does not last very long – about 5-10 minutes. I am obviously a bit concerned. Regards.
