What's chances of n fowleri from water up nose in shower as i've been having mild headaches and i've also been on keflex for other issues?

Unlikely: Unless your shower water comes untreated from a pond, lake, river, or hot spring. Even then, pretty rare. There have only been 30 cases in the USA since 2001.
