Is there a test to determine if a woman’s immune system is making antibodies against the HCG hormone, and if so, what is it called and how does one go about getting tested?

I have only had one small bowel movement since Thursday, despite eating a lot. I used a mineral oil enema 30 minutes ago and was advised to see a doctor if there was no movement within 30 minutes. I feel slightly nauseous and have taken laxatives and was previously prescribed Lynzess. I also had a laxative tea last night that didn't work. I'm 27 years old, experienced no bowel movement after the oil enema, have abdominal cramps, extreme bloating, and discomfort. What should I do?

I started experiencing symptoms such as chills, weakness, lightheadedness, a pounding headache, overall sick feeling, joint pain in my right hand knuckles and left hip 10 days ago. I thought I was recovering, but then I got a sore throat, cough, congestion, and a low-grade fever. I have since taken Aleve for headaches and Max Strength Mucinex DM for cough and congestion. I have no appetite and had diarrhea yesterday. I am 55 years old and have occasional shortness of breath. My throat is not very sore but feels irritated, and I have a kink in my neck. What is your recommendation for my ongoing symptoms?

I'm a 14-year-old boy experiencing joint pain, whole body weakness, lightheadedness, leg tremors, and muscle spasms. I have a family history of autoimmune diseases on my father's side. I am seeing a rheumatologist soon, but I was wondering if you had any clues to what might be going on.

I have been taking 150mg of azathioprine daily for a long time to combat hepatitis. My GP has now found out it could be the cause of my mouth ulcers. Could this be true, and what can I do for relief?

I'm pregnant, about 7 to 8 months along, and have been experiencing tingling in all fingers on my right hand, swelling in both legs, and my vital signs are 142 over 88 plus 92. I've only been taking prenatal vitamins and Tylenol for discomfort. What should I do now?
