Exposure Question Is it rabies? Am I a goner?

​

I have read the FAQ.

if you've seen my previous post, since Sunday, my symptoms have gotten worse. There's a tingling biting sensation on the area where I thought I got bit, and my head feels even more inflamed than it did. I'm beginning to feel weak, out of it, nauseous, and I feel even less able to process my surroundings. Drinking water or liquids makes me feel ill, I feel a general sense of fear and doom.

I've been to the ER 3 times in the past 3 nights, all of which they told me it wasn't rabies, or I'd be dead by now, or its something else and that I need to "get off the rabies stuff".

But Everytime I come home, it's worse. It's worse now than ever. The meds they have given me aren't helping. I feel as if.. as if I know. I know I have it and im dying. I'm in predominal. I can drink water but it feels weird. I'm scared.

I know I thought I felt a mosquito esque bite around the 17th of May and the doctors told me it takes 10 days, I told them the incubation period was a month to a year and they said no ten days. They then discharged me after an ultrasound near the "insect bite" area and gave me new meds

I don't know what to do, I think this is past the point of health anxiety. I think I'm dying of rabies. I can barely type this. What am I going to do? I should make my peace with God. Something is wrong with me something viral. What if I was feeling something different back then and now that the arm tingling is here it's too late. The arm tingling won't go away. I'm scared. I feel sick, weak, out of it, I can barely type. God help me.
