Re: I can't do this again..
I'm so sorry, you must be petrified.
For what it's worth, I'm sure you weren't bitten but I think you know that. I hope you're able to find peace of mind soon.
Re: I can't do this again..
I feel like I know I wasn't bitten too. My health anxiety is just so out of control and no matter how much I try to rationalize with myself, I can't stop the paranoia. Apparently nobody can get me the antibodies test except for my actual doctor who I can't see until Monday. I guess I'll just have to hold on until then and hope I don't completely freak out ;~;
Re: I can't do this again..
Gonna talk to my doctor about the rabies antibody test in the morning but of course after a couple days of feeling okay my hands just started tingling. Ugh. I'm in for a fun night.
I truly sympathize with everyone who goes through this intense particular fear.. It's like no other health anxiety worry I've ever experienced.
Re: I can't do this again..
I understand where you are coming from. I was bitten by a bat it must be 20 years now since it received the vaccine and over the years something would trigger me. I was finally free of it about three years ago but I am now in the same situation as you. A couple of weeks ago I was at my window smoking and there were moths but something bit me and here we are two weeks later and I am spiraling with the same symptoms you are even questioning the size between a bat and a moth and did I mistake a bat for a moth.
Re: I can't do this again..
I started having extremely horrible tingling in my feet yesterday. It was all over the soles and tops of my feet as well as in my toes and ankles. My feet also felt freezing cold. I took iron because I'm anemic, but that didn't seem to help. The tingling has mostly gone away but has been replaced by stabbing pains in the bottoms of my feet that radiate up into my ankles, legs, knees.. I can hardly walk around or stretch or do anything without my legs and feet feeling extremely sore like I did an intense workout yesterday even though I didn't. I went to a walk in clinic about this today because I was concerned about guillain barre syndrome due to a flu shot I got about a week ago. They just checked to see if my circulation was good and checked my reflexes and said my muscles feel really tight but they don't think its nerve related. I have trouble believing muscle tension this bad could come out of nowhere and make my feet feel like this. They didn't do any blood tests or anything, just gave me some muscle relaxers and told me to rest and stop googling. I'm honestly really freaked out even though deep down I really feel like I wasn't bitten by this bat. I just can't shake this paranoia.. And I'm kinda worried I won't be able to walk anymore if this pain keeps up.
Re: I can't do this again..
Rabies is very rare in the usa and your doctor should of told you this there was only a few deaths last year and you could count them on one hand my freind is a vet there i think you can chill out especially now the drugs are so powerfull 3 years is a long time.
Re: I can't do this again..
Let me ask you- when you first got bit ( the rock incident..) did you feel it? How did you know?
