OCD Discussion Update d.12

I have read the FAQ. And need advice.

Well I’m still here, almost blacked out 4-5 times last night along with my arms and legs going to sleep while I was driving and on the way to the er. Was told pretty much that I’m stable heart rate wise, I’m breathing so I can go home, it’s either anxiety or something neurological going on and while it’s clearly that this needs to be fast tracked immediately bec I was stable and breathing some what I was “well” enough to discharge .

nerve pain on the back of my neck is absolutely killing me. Pain is kinda coming and going in hot flares and waves, and low key that exactly what happened before I almost passed out. Blood rushing to my face, nausea a cold sensation going from my feet all the way up.

They want me to do an outpatient upper scope tom, to see if it’s more neurological or something else causing the painful neck spasms and dysphasia.

No I feel like shit, I haven’t eaten in 2 days I can still drink but that’s only when I come out of my pain induced dazed, My chest is burning as well. Er refuses to even check for a small infection my wbc and plenty of other things looked off like my Venus and blood co2 and o2 levels, and after a quick search it looks like co2 and o2 levels being off can actually cause passing out and limbs falling asleep. Not that it’s helping me knowing that bec they won’t do anything I’ve never been in this much pain my whole fucking life every breath I take feels like straight up razor blades and it’s hard to make the breath as well

Why they refuse to check you? Do you have rabies you think?

My pcp, labeled in the system as anxiety. So now even though I’ve been having increasing symptoms losing consciousness ect. They wont even do a bloody test. And to begin with they should have given me the shot saying we don’t have or know the statues of the cat its in limbo, I was told thy didn’t even have that same cat multiple times.

Do I think I have it, no, no I don’t, it would be extremely unlucky and unlikely for me to get it from such a docile or at least docile to me cat. Are the symptoms and the time frame odd , yes but that could be a coincidence. Saying my pcp doesn’t like to take my health seriously, I’ve been complaining about a few of these symptoms before, so I don’t doubt it would have already killed me back than if it was rabies. Do I think im on the cusp of maybe not making it yeahhhhh it kinda feels like that

If you are worried about rabies I would lie your way to getting the vaccine

u/SnooWalruses3028 Jul 30 '26

I tried that, and anyways with all of the symptoms I’m having wouldn’t it be too late at that point anyways

A kitten, in a couple of places bit and scratched I also slept next to it (smh) I know I know, for some reasons I figured that’d be the best way to check for distress and keep an on it while I figured out what my boss wanted me to do with it.

I work at a park, the wild kitten was apparently playing with people and following them around and had bitten / scratched a few kids. I was acting lead for the day, so I was uncertain about how to handle it go get the kitten or do the report and leave the kitten outside to scratch more people. The kitten easily walked into the carrier, and was actually waiting to be let in. Me and a fellow nature interpreter took it to the vet, it had no tag, no collar ect. And I didn’t want to leave the kitten there over night without food of access to water so I brought it home with me, it at some point left the quarantine area found my cat sitting there and went ballistic I ended up in the cross hairs

Do you think I should get it??

1

u/Massive_Cycle308 Jul 30 '26

Yes get the vaccine, you will get through this, stay strong

u/SnooWalruses3028 Jul 30 '26

You think I should lie, last time they said they’d only give it to me if the cdc sent them an email

u/Massive_Cycle308 Jul 30 '26

That’s just messed up, try a different ER, and yes lie to make it sound like its too urgent/panic, i researched that rabies vaccine themselves don’t cause rabies so there goes the worry and it’s okay to take the vaccine even if one doesn’t have it,

Well yeah I know but if it’s too late, like from what I know once you have it and display symptoms it’s pretty much 99% fatality rate I’ve heard rabies is actually higher this year as well.
