I had an upper respiratory viral illness about 4 weeks ago and my low grade fever has never returned to normal. Other symptoms include a headache, fatigue, and a persistent cough (both productive and non-productive) that gets better when lying down. I was treated for H Pylori about 6 weeks ago. I had lymphoma 17 years ago and have had no recurrences. What could be the cause of the fever?

I have had a chest infection for 4 months, accompanied by a husky voice, swollen glands, and a sore throat. I've also developed two lumps in my neck, one of which has grown significantly over three weeks, and I've experienced episodes of temporary paralysis and fuzzy head sensations. My doctor has conducted blood tests and a chest X-ray, which were negative. What could these symptoms indicate?

I can hear my pulse or my heart beating in my ears, especially at night when I lay down to sleep. Sometimes it beats so hard that my ears hurt. I've been experiencing this for about a year, and it seems to be quieter if I take a baby aspirin before bed. My blood pressure was 174/84 this morning, and I was extremely dizzy, though this is not an everyday occurrence. I also seem to be short of breath. Is this a sign of a blockage to my heart or some other issue?

Two days ago, I experienced sudden cross-eyed vision where sentences seemed to 'dive-in' and words overlapped, accompanied by dizziness and trouble thinking. I slapped my head several times and could only read and write by sweeping my eyes from left to right. The feeling went away after about thirty minutes. I had a similar episode of weakness and dizziness due to extreme heat the previous Monday, but no real headache. I have a history of migraines and am currently taking lorazepam and allopurinol. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I was treated for Lyme disease last summer with Doxycycline (reacted to) and another antibiotic. It came back in December. I was on IV Rocephin, but my liver enzymes went up, so the PICC line was pulled, and I went on Ceftin, which I also reacted to. I am now trying Ondamed and am learning about the Rife machine. Are there any thoughts on which machine is more effective? I just received Sametto and am starting that. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
