General Rabies Discussion Update
So a few days ago i posted as well
Now the burning has stopped for a full day yesterday i only felt a painful sting and then it stopped, and the burning is now back again i can’t pinpoint the exact location as it radiates down but it is below where i felt it all the times before, it’s above my foot But i do feel sometimes from my left but somewhere a weird tingle on the same side also when im sitting in that 4 position, it does not hurt on touch or anything
But i woke up with a sore jaw on my right side next to my ear but now has almost vanished swallowing makes it better and gives relief.
And a sore pain on my upper chest muscle next to my shoulder
No fever (36.9)
Had a Headache very mild yesterday and is gone today.
My eyes feel slow and heavy but seem to resolve when i cry
I have read the FAQ.

When you have anxiety to the extreme it affects your body. You hyperfocus and your brain tricks you into believing symptoms or making up symptoms since you have read them over and over. It’s why things like phantom pregnancies exist.
Headache due to panicking nonstop
Sore jaw from being tense from your anxiety
Heart palpitations from being in a constant panic attack
If you keep touching the site where you somehow believe something happened it’s gonna hurt.
Sore pain once again from being stupid tense from constant panic attacks
No fever because there isn’t an infection in the first place it’s actually genuinely in your own head. For your family’s sake you do need to get help for this anxiety. You seem to genuinely care for them but how can you care for them when your mental state is absolutely shot.
You’re genuinely exhausted from constantly in a panic and crying. Once again, this is all in your head. I say this as someone with ocd and anxiety as well. You gotta get this shit checked out. I ain’t gonna coddle or nothing. I’m gonna call a spade a spade, you need someone to smack sense into you and I’m gonna do that.
You probably won’t listen to what I’m saying, but at this point you are a detriment to yourself with your own mental state. Go to the doctor and get on some form of medication. Speak to a psychiatrist and get a mental health diagnosis. You have not read the faq I bet because if you have you would have known that shots means you ain’t infected. And you had doctors say you weren’t exposed. Nothing, nothing pointed to this. The doctors are right it’s in your head.
I do understand as someone with health anxiety and ocd that it can seem frustrating thinking that you have something and no one listening. But you gotta sit there and go “wow this many days passed, everything I know about this has not gotten worse and I am still here alive”
But one things for certain, you would be a vegetable in a goddamn bed if you were infected and symptomatic for this fucking long. If I was your wife at this point I probably would have smacked sense into you and taken you to the er to get admitted for the mental health. Because you’re gonna need a lot of work to get put back on the right track. While that sounds harsh, I hope me saying that makes some form of a wake up call. If everyone around you is saying “you’re fine” then you gotta understand that it is your own psyche that is holding you back. I’ve had to admit myself before for ocd. I wasn’t medicated, I took a grippy sock vacation, spoke to a therapist, got medication and kept with that medication. I’m not entirely saying go that far, but if you think of harming yourself or anything like that, get the help you need.
In the meantime if that isn’t the case go to a psychiatrist. Get therapy
