Brief Answer:
Suggestive of allergies and not an infection!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

These symptoms are suggestive of an allergy to something in the environment. Try to map these symptoms with recent changes in the environment or places to see where they are more common. This way, you may try to make a link between these two. The best drugs for this is anti allergies such as benadry and zyrtec. It os not caused by a bacteria and there is no reason testing for chlamydia at this time/.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.

Brief Answer:
Please, be relaxed and we would monitor and understand more!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand why you are visibly disturbed. There is no bug deal going on. Be patient and let’s see what the results of your girlfriend tell us. However, you do not have signs of an STD.

Swollen lymph nodes feel different depending on the exact cause and location. Some are hard, other soft, tender/not tender, etc.

I wish you well.

The fact that you have these symptoms with your friend doesn’t make them an STD. You are not having an STD.

I think because of all the animals, dust, and mold from my old place just followed me .

Also from a poor diet and lack of working out could lead to it.
