Eksster Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hey. I'm sick as can be right now. I'm looking to get general advice.Heres the scoop: So it all started with 3 mosquito bites on monday. Tuesday, one got the size of a silver dollar, the other about 3 silver dollars with a 6" red line trailing off of it. So last night, I went to the doctor. All the body aches, head aches, coughing, mucus, and random changes in temperature got to me. I thought I got west nile, but the doc says it doesn't happen this time of year, even though I caught one in my room. So they thought I'm just having an allergic reaction to this particular mosquito. They gave me benedryl and a general potent all inclusive anti-biotic. Well, I feel like crap. I've skipped all my classes this week, and am just drinking tea, watching movies, and sleeping. I'm not sure what makes me so out of it, but I gotta start working soon, and I'm not really that safe to drive. I'm not finding any foods appealing. I get some cravings, but they're gone before I eat, or I only take 2 bites. Maybe I'll try another smoothie. That worked the other day. Any general advise as to what to eat or these symptoms?Thanks a lot. I figured you all would know a lot together. Ekendra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcina Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 If your mosquito bites are that huge I'd say you are probably allergic to them too! But if the Benadryl isn't working it makes me wonder.. Last summer I got sick after getting a mosquito bite in Alberta. I thought it was West Nile too but I only had a fever for one day. The rest of the symptoms took a week to go away. I agree with Zinzen, that you should go back to the doctor. If you aren't getting better after this long, you should definitely seek a second opinion.

Theresaann Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I suggest finding an immunologist, if you don't start feeling better soon. If you have a teaching hospital/university medical center near you, check that out. There will be researchers available who are better versed in marginal illnesses/symptomology and will know the appropriate diagnostic path to look down. That and detox...thats always helpful-lots of raw fruit and veggies, green juices, green smoothies, mostly or all raw....How are you doing now?
