The antibiotics she was prescribed was SEPTRA DS. She took all six tablets over 3 days like prescribed, but still is having off and on moments of fevers reaching temps of 101. She said that she is also getting headaches with these fevers and feels nauxious. We had a horrible experience with an idiot doctor in the ER (long story short...he told her that it was impossible for her to have a UTI because fever wasnt associated with that, then when urine sample came back positive for infection, had to back track on his words!). So we would prefer to not have to waste more money on seeing more idiot doctors unless absolutely necessary.

If you've already had the chicken pox disease, is it still okay to get a chicken pox vaccine after that? It's been about a 7 years since my last chicken pox.

My room mate is very fond of my dog. Besides encouraging bad behavior, I am concerned about proper hygiene, and passing any immune related diseases.
My dog is very healthy otherwise. She has had all immunizations, etc., but I am wondering about spreading colds, or other contaminants that cause illness.

say that a person with a cold or the flu touches something like bread. then you put that bread or whatever in the toaster or microwave. would the heat kill the germs or not do anything?

When I was teaching in St. Thomas USVI in 1994, I started getting these mysterious fevers.

It would start with my fingers, toes, and nose becoming ice cold (so much so that my nails would turn blue) as my fever would climb to dangerous levels. I would have such serious chills I couldn't do anything, and sometimes all the shaking made me lose my lunch.

Ibuprofen and acetaminophen would bring the fever down and then I'd be right as rain for a few weeks, a month or two, then the same thing would happen.

This has been happening to me five or six times a year ever since, most recently on my return from New Delhi India yesterday. Now, the fever breaks and comes back in an hour or two which is something new.

My question is this: is it possible I picked up something in St. Thomas that I've never completely shaken - some kind of chronic tropical disease?

I'm going to the doctor this afternoon, but would like some non GP opinions.
