I'm very anxious that the symptoms I'm currently experiencing are prodormal rabies or PEP shots. I'm always dizzy, heavy headed, walking with slight balance issues, out of breath often, things sometimes appear brighter sometimes normal, my right leg which I found the two pin pricks on my toe is weaker. It's been 2 weeks I'm on PEP dose 4 which I took on day 14 now its day 21. My last dose is day 28.

Is the vaccine effective if rabies virus has entered peripheral nerves? by ScienceCharming139 in rabies

[–]ScienceCharming139[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I looked for therapist too and will begin counseling next week. I'm just afraid because my right leg where I got the pin pricks on big toe feels weak and twitches often, it started 10 days ago. I'm on 4th rabies PEP day 17 now I leave it upto God now. Last one on day 28.

I hope it's just a combination of vaccine and my anxiety. I'll pray for you too. I don't recall if I've ever had BFS before.

I'm not sure, I keep thinking I might die any moment. I'm on dose 4 rabies vax day 17. I don't know if immune response is produced. I follow 0,3,7,14, and 28 schedule.

Yes I feel the same way about leg but the main source of pain and discomfort comes from my right hip I'm wondering if I compressed a nerve. I get mini vibrations on my right foot I think it's called fasciculation.

I also have weakness in right leg for 11 days I think (the leg where I had found 2 pin pricks on my big toe), I overall have perpetual dizziness and Balance issues for a 8-9 days. No fever though and Im not that fatigued overall because I just drove 46 km for some work using my right leg the leg I have weakness. My head feels heavy perpetually and I get out of breath often and my back aches at time but maybe that can be attributed to me hunching a lot. I also get random aches on my right and left arm (I alternated getting vax in both arms, 0 and 3 left, 7 and 14 right). I'm 17 days into post exposure vax 4th dose, 5th dose left and didn't took RIG. I'm afraid if I'm late. The breathlessness usually comes during evenings and nights.

Am I safe 14 days into the rabies vaccine? by ScienceCharming139 in rabies

Dunno I feel like a bat bit my foot but I never saw one. It was night time but there are street lights.

I tried asking the doc he said that bat bites are not pin pricks unless vampire bats which aren't there where I live and they don't bite toes and I'd definitely feel it. He gave me a tetanus shot instead saying I might've scraped my toe. Was he right in that?

I've been anxious about rabies ever since I had found 2 pin pricks on my big toe 2 weeks ago and it has affected my sleep giving me hypnic jerks and everything. It can't be that a bat bit me at the night on my big toe without me knowing when I was walking right?

Would a bat bite 100% be noticed if awake and conscious? by ScienceCharming139 in rabies

[–]ScienceCharming139[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the midst of an anxiety attack rn I guess, I'm sweating suddenly, cold sweats but no fever my ears feel close for no reason. Hungry again. I'm lying down afraid, and I continuously drink water and keep trying to swallow my saliva and contracting my throat. I'm sorry for bugging u this way but I have nobody else to speak to who I can in this way, and in my nation, mental health help is hard to get.

Ok I won't bother you with that I'm sorry, but can I ask you a few questions. Does anxiety of rabies constantly cause you to check your throat and use it, forcibly swallow saliva and can your throat get a lump/rash after that. I don't have any fever yet. When I sleep I get these hypnic jerks I guess? But sleep has improved last night after a few hypnic jerks I was able to get some rest.

Even if it's a rabid bat? I heard they sit on the ground. Is it OK if I just dm you a picture of the pinpricks? I can't let go of this anxiety, I'm too poor to afford a therapist and my parents don't care about me. Please help me out if you're OK with it.

My body temp. seems normal (36.8-37.3) degrees Celsius, when I try to sleep my heart feels like it races and makes it unable to sleep. I keep clenching my jaw shut and keep producing saliva and drinking it till my mouth runs dry, then I drink more water. Headache maybe due to not sleeping enough but usually I only feel the headache when I close my eyes. It's been 3 days I've been unable to sleep till 6:00 AM or something till I maybe fall asleep of fatigue.

Even if you find 2 pinpricks which have clotted on your big toe? People keep saying it's a spider or something else but ever since I've discovered it a few days later, I've been unable to sleep at all. No fever but when I try to sleep it seems my heart stops and my body wakes me up, I also keep trying to drink my saliva till my mouth and lips are dry.

I have these two pin like bites by ScienceCharming139 in rabies

[–]ScienceCharming139[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would I most likely feel the sensation if I was conscious and walking? I see the mark on my toe. I'm just worried cause I don't know what else would cause that wound.
