I'm really worried about my friend's CT scan results. It shows focal gliosis in the right posterior perinatal region. Can you explain what this means? Should we be concerned and what kind of treatment should he consider? Is this something serious?

Interpreting Widal test results:
Positive results:
- Typhi O: 180
- Typhi H: 140
Negative results:
- Typhi AH
- Typhi BH
After 5 days of fever, these results suggest:
You likely have typhoid fever.
However, confirm with your doctor, as:
- False positives can occur
- Other tests (e.g., blood culture, PCR) may be necessary for confirmation

View allI'm starting to feel concerned about my health because I've been experiencing a heavy tongue and slurred speech sometimes. I've already checked for any kind of stroke, and thankfully, that came back negative. I've been feeling quite distraught and restless occasionally. I used to be diagnosed with sleep apnea, but I've been using a CPAP machine, and my sleep has improved quite a lot since then. Despite that, I sometimes notice muscle weakness in my thighs and calves, and I also have lower back pain. An MRI showed that I have a bulging disc that's pressing on my nerves. I'm really perplexed about the heavy tongue and would love some insights on why that might be happening.
all reports are normal it can be due to anxiety

I'm experiencing these weird full-body muscle vibrations, almost like internal waves, whenever I move. It's been going on for about 2.5 years now, and it happens in my neck, shoulders, arms, legspretty much everywhere. Whenever I bend down, I feel this wave-like sensation in my back, too. Along with that, I've been having neck and back pain. Can you help me figure out what's going on? I'm really curious and a bit worried about these symptoms.
