I've been having this for a week. It's just too many things happened at once. (This is gonna be long but I'll get there, please please read)
First, I got bit by my iguana. Nothing to worry about, I took care of it and it's healed. Next day I got bit by a rat at the pet store. Nothing to worry about also, they're domestic, but I got this weird sensation in my head right after. Even though they're captive bred, I started googling about rat transmited deseases and started worrying a lot because of it.
To make me even more worried about infection, I started having t go to the bathroom frequently after that.
Two days after my mom was driving and telling me how ai shouldn't worry so much, but she was so angry, screaming at me, saying that one day she would be dead and I'd be screwed if I keep acting like this. I was crying so much and felt something I never felt before, The urge to openthe car door and kill myself right there. I started screaming for her to stop talking, but I couldn't control what I was saying.
Meanwhile, I started feeling something that is worrying me so so much. I have this weird burning/cold/wet/like acid (i can't describe it!!) under the top of my head, near the forehead (sometimes I feel it there too) and a burning sensation in my mouth roof. It feels like a open wound on the head, as if someone scratched there hard. I seriously can't explain it better...
First I thought the head sensation would be from wearing a ponytail, so I stopped using it, but the pain still lasts. Sometimes it feels like brainfreeze. The mouth roof pain feels like I've eaten something that scratched me there, and that was what I thought in the beggining, but no.
I've been crying about this for days. My thoughts are getting so confusing, I keep mixing up my portuguese with english, I mistead things because I read the first and second line mixed. I feel so desperate, because I've read that this acid sensation in head plus having to go to the bathroo so much plus this confusion could be signs of multiple scelerosis. And seriously, I already feel hopeless with only health anxiety, I,m pretty sure I'd kill myself If I had a condition like that.
I also get cold sensations in other random parta of my body sometimes.
So two days ago, I went to the ER about this. I told them about the acid sensation and confusion, but I couldn't stop crying for a second. The doctor was specialized in strokes and assured my I wasn't having one, but that wasn't even my worry. I had a CAT scan two months ago, so they wouldn't make one again even though I didn't have this symptom back then. When I asked about MS they said I couldn't have it because my vision and legs were fine. They gave me medication for pain (which worked for like 20min) and a strong anti anxiety medication that got me dizzy and sent me home.
I woke up the next day even worse, because not only had the sensation in my head but also the same burning/cold feeling in a spot in my arm. However, we spent the rest of the day at the pool and I didn't feel a thing back then, which could convince me it's just anxiety even though the symptom is so weird!! It came back as soon as I got home and I have it right now (the next day).
I am super, super worried. They did no testa at the hospital to reassure me I was fine. I don't feel fine, this sensation is the weirdest thing. And I think I've feelt it before in my life but only if for moment, now It's been here for days and I can't take this anymore. :(
