I am so sorry! Get well soon. :getwellso |
Oh Carol, poor thing! My brother had Lymes a couple years ago, it looked like the way you described your 'bite'. I hope you feel better soon though and the pain goes away! |
That's scary! i hope you're better. That happened to me one time in Puerto Rico...i was always getting bit by mosquitos but then one morning i woke up with one swollen hand, i mean it was swollen! Something had bit me overnight and my hand was triple the size of my other one and i had to go to the hospotal and get i.v injected into me, it was crazy. But now i have this weird rash on my arm and im wondering what the heck bit me, it itches so much and spread... all these bugs! |
Was this a spider bite? Sounds like a brown recluse spider bite. A tiny brown spider with an hour glass shape on his body. Can make you swell like this and can kill. Please be careful and get well soon. |
I hope you are feeling better very soon. I stinks to be sick. :( |
Lymes Disease It sounds like Lymes to me. Usually you develop a fever with the exposure. I have included a link with pics of Lymes. It sounds like you have caught it in time though. It can be treated at this early stage. Sounds like you and your furrbaby have had one heck of a week! I hope you both are feeling better soon. Sending well wishes your way........ |
Carol I do hope is no lyme, a friend of my got lyme and is a a pretty site:( |
Carol, I hope you get well soon. I will be praying for you. :):aimeeyork |
Thanks everyone. I went for blood work this morning. Finger's crossed it comes back negative. I go again in three weeks to double check. Rash has gotten lighter and the pain has started to subside. The meds are working. Someone else mentiond the Brown Recluse Spider to me. Never saw a spider in my house. Guess I'll never know what bit me but boy it left it's mark. |
Last year I had some weird thing happen to my forehead. It swelled my WHOLE face and eyes. Still do not know if it was a spider bit, bug bite or a skin infection. It lasted for over a week. I was on antib's and did all sorts of blood work. But there wasn't anything it could "truly" be linked too ~ weird :( |
:confused: Just now reading this...glad the pain has started to subside. Sounds like the meds are working, which is a good sign. Hope you continue to get and feel better!! |
I'm glad to know you're feeling a little better. Fingers crossed and prayers said that you bloodwork comes back okay. Hugs! |
Definitely glad to hear that you are feeling better. |
Carol, I am so sorry you are all red and puffed up and hurting. One of the worst infections that my son got growing up was a secondary infection from a bug bite. His pediatrician told me that bug mouths were really nasty and that sometimes they actually infect you with germs. His bite was on the back of his hand and within 24 hours his hand was red, hot, and swollen up twice it's normal size. He was given a very powerful antibiotic. I hope you get to feeling better real soon. Please be careful, and don't hesitate to call your doctor if you notice any changes. Sending both you and Buddy lots of hugs. |
(((hugs))) That really stinks and I bet it was/is kind of scary. I hope that your tests are negative. Yay for the meds working. You and poor buddy have had a rough week. |
