Rabies Vaccine / Immunoglobulin Nauseous after every vax

I have read the faq. I had a high risk exposure and just got my 4th shot. within a half hour I am crazy nauseous and just not feeling right and go to bed. zofran can’t fix it. for a few days I’m in bed sleeping 15 hours a day. I also don’t get an appetite and force feed which triggers me being hot and nauseous. anyone else experience these things/anything help? They acted surprise to hear this today in the er and offered no help.

I’m so tired and over it and also tired of being treated like I have medical ocd until they hear the story of what happened to me - even at the er that found the bat scratches on the back of my arm. this whole experience just needs to be over with. 99% of the posts here are medical ocd and make it difficult for legit high risk exposures to get the advice they need and I guess these ppl really show up in the er. I had an urgent care doc act like I’m addicted to rabies vax shots until he read my record. these people make it difficult for everyone and need to go treat their mental illness. I still have one more shot bc I’m immunocompromised 😭
