I have a phobia of diseases, particularly rabies. Recently, I accidentally ran over fresh roadkill, and my boyfriend had his window down. I couldn't identify the animal as it was torn apart, and it was raining heavily. I'm worried about potential exposure to rabies. What should I do?

I have been experiencing flu-like symptoms for the last 3 weeks, including feeling hot from the inside out, nausea, occasional diarrhea, worsening chronic inner ear problems, and a feeling of my body humming and vibrating. I also have IBS and fibromyalgia. Can the flu last this long, coming and going, and what can I do to help myself?

I had a severe case of food poisoning from mussels and took magnesium citrate. I felt great after pooping all day yesterday. When will I get back to my regular normal stools? I'm usually very regular, but I haven't pooped today. Is this normal? I'm not in pain, but since I'm super regular, I'm starting to get worried.

I injured my ankle a week ago and was told it was a severe sprain with a flake fracture. I was told it will heal in three weeks, but I'm skeptical due to the initial pain and swelling. Is three weeks enough time for recovery, and should I be concerned about the location of the flake fracture?

I have been experiencing light-colored stools for approximately 6-8 weeks, but I am completely asymptomatic otherwise. I take medications including lovastatin, metoprolol, spironolactone/hydrochlorothiazide, and Taztia XT, and I also take various supplements. My routine labs from February were normal, except for slightly elevated cholesterol. Should I be concerned about liver or gallbladder disease? Should I speak to my doctor about changing my statin medication?
