Question 1

i have muscles problem. my age is 30 and i am not merriad.

Accepted Answer

Elaborate please: When you  say muscle problems, do you mean muscle pain? Cramps? Spasm? I take it you mean you are not married.  Shouldn't be related to muscle problems anyways, unless it's causing much stress.

Question 2

is there a tropical disease clinic that would do me a rickettsia mooseri test?

Accepted Answer

Murine typhus: Rickettsia is a genus of non-motile, Gram-negative, non-sporeforming, highly pleomorphic bacteria that can present as cocci, rods or thread-like.  Rickettsia mooseri is now called Rickettsia typhi.  Onset is characterized by persistent headache, a high grade fever, and a cutaneous rash predominating on the trunk. ELISA tests are available and antibiotics should be started while tests are pending.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Of course: it is.  But why think it's an hallucination?  Has he had other issues?
Instead consider it to be sharp hearing and an overread

Question 4

the base of my right thumb, but sometimes other parts of hands is twitching when i type or use mouse.i typed and used mouse quite a lot over many years. oould it be a repetitive motion injury? how can i treat it or stop it?it is scary. thank you!

Accepted Answer

Not scary: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, and  physical examination. You could help yourself by taking short breaks between episodes of typing. If symptoms persist you should consult a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician.
Wish you good health!

Accepted Answer

Allergy: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the high eosinophil count is consistent with allergy.

Sometimes: Those with a 1st degree relative have 3x increased risk for developing ad.There are also familial forms of ad due to genes passed on, usually these fads present in patients earlier in the 40s or 50s.
