Sydney, How did it go?

Was wondering how your testing went and how you are doing.

They poked, they prodded all friggin' morning but according to the technicians no signs of anything suspicious in the xrays or ultrasounds (they aren't supposed to tell you that so officially I'm supposed to wait to hear it from the PA). I have to have the blood run yet again on Friday but at this point I do believe I was either bitten by something or ingested something that is now long gone. I feel cautiously normal, lol.

Whoa! That's a relief. (I hope you don't mind the shout out I didn't want to derail someone else's thread).

My sil is a nurse, she tells me that sometimes spider bites can present the symptoms I had. I'm about to vacuum the ceilings later, kid you not............

I think about spiders all the time. We have brown recluses and black widows down here and I am always mindful of them. I had a friend get bit by one a couple of years back and he was ill for a while.

I'm trying really hard to think back, I had an itching sensation almost everywhere....but then it went away after I took some Benadryl. I'm all paranoid now, especially when the cat starts chasing something I can't see. I seriously can not go through that again!

Sydney, I hope you are feeling more like yourself every day. Glad the tests are not showing anything serious.

Not sure what is going on.....just guessing from what I read on this thread, but I'm glad you are feeling more like yourself.

The PA just called, the screening for Lime is not back yet but they have ruled out Mono. Guess the less I hear, the better.

I'm glad you are feeling better, Sydney. FYI, not being snarky, but it's Lyme disease

Thanks for the catch, hopefully I will not have to ever type that out again, lol. Camping is sooo not happening this summer.

I always wear gloves when I go through the laundry too. The brown recluse likes to hide in dirty clothes I have read...

Sydney, sounds like good news

Hey, don't overdo it, you need some recovery time.

Re: Sydney, How did it go?

Hope you continue to improve and that the rest of your news will be great, too. Like Noel said .... keep resting for a while.

Hi Sydney, I didn't know you were ill, but glad to hear you're feeling better. This caught my interest...I've been getting bitten by something in my house every few days. A pest control guy came over three times already and can't figure it out. I don't feel when I'm getting bitten -- and they are nasty bites, worse than typical mosquito bites -- and my useful cat hasn't been able to spot anything yet. I put out all kinds of sticky traps, homemade brown sugar water traps and now the ultrasonic plug in type trap. I'd be interested to find out if your ailment was due to some kind of insect bite.
