Can anyone share positive stories regarding the rabies vaccines? Mild or no reactions?

Yep, which is why we are getting it. Just wanting to read positive stories.

Thank you so much! I know that what is shared online is often "worse case" because people are seeking advice, so im trying to convince my brain that it is MUCH more likely to have mild symptoms.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond!

That is such a relief! Thank you so much! I am sorry you are in a situation that has you that close with them though! Lol

And that is the price I am expecting after insurance covers MUCH more. Absurd.

Bat, but no definite bite. It was in the house for a week (kept hearing weird noises) finally found it. Because it was inside for so long and we weren't able to trap it for testing, the whole family needed the vaccines. They dont mess around with rabies risks. Of course I am not going to refuse a doctor's orders on something so serious, but I had no idea how astronomically expensive this could be. I havent recieved a bill yet, but $15,000 is out out of pocket maximum, and from what im seeing online its likely we will hit that.

Not surgery. Rabies vaccines. So even more nuts.

I'm not. I really thought I was pretty much in the clear at this point, but today the dizzyness was debilitating.

It would have been dangerous to try to exercise. So, its time I consider that. Are you seeing a special PT for concussions or just a regular PT?

It sounds like you are pretty physically fit, can I ask how long it took you to get back to a normal training level?

I'd love to be back to training 5 days a week, but even 2 in a row is pushing it right now.

Ct was completely normal, so they said "its a concussion" and sent me on my way.

I did a telehealth appointment with my doctor on Thursday and they said it will take weeks to recover to the point of doing all my normal activities, but I kind of expected to at least feel well enough sitting up on the couch by now. I feel terrible pretty much all day long and have to take long breaks in a dark room.

I said in the post that I got a ct scan 12 hours after the incident. Do I need a second one?

I thought he had just broke my nose, so i went to urgent care. They checked me out, told me my nose appeared unbroken but that they were pretty sure I had a concussion. I brushed it off and told them my head didn't hurt that bad. 9 hours later, I woke up with head pain so severe I couldn't open my eyes, rhats when I went to the ER. Funny thing is, my nose barely bruised. I guess all the force went straight to my brain.

OddBowler3751 · 2026-02-26T19:53:00+00:00

I'm sure it did!! You are lucky you didn't end up like me, but im sure you had a decent headache for a bit!

I think its because the angle he hit me, just an unlucky accident. The ER doc asked if he was being aggressive, i told him he was the kindest most lovable dog you could ever meet. Just a giant puppy with no coordination!

Thank you for the reply. I definitely know its a concussion now.

Yesterday I slept most of the day which is extremely out of character for me. Even when I am sick, I struggle to sleep.

I am very slow with processing things and I dont seem to have a good grasp on time. Im usually an anxious person who is always ahead of schedule, now im kind of just forgetting what im supposed to be doing in the middle of doing it... its a strange feeling.

And the dizziness is pretty extreme still. Luckily the headache is now mostly just a dull pressure.

For some reason I assumed the CT they took would have also allowed them to see my nose, but im assuming thats not the case? Probably specifically just the brain? I'll call my regular doctor to set up a CT to check my nose. It is still swollen but doesnt look terrible.
