Was in the Dominican Republic and Im still really sick...?!


Question: I already know Ive made a huge mistake..please dont bother telling me how stupid Ive been not going to the doctor sooner! Thank you! I know! I know!

I was in the Dominican Republic from Feb 21-28 and around the 26th I was stung twice by something..?

I thought at first the air conditioning was making me sick, because in the past it has. I had a sore throat which turned into flu like symptoms.

And ever since then I have been getting progressively sicker. I had a major fever, followed by sweating and chills. I have had that twice now.

I have a terrible cough (like my chest is full of stuff), I just cannot shake (and Ive taken a lot of over the counter things to get rid of it). I also had muscle pains, and just felt terribly weak.

I have a doctors appointment today. But any idea what might be wrong?

I'm glad you are seeing the doctor today.

It sounds a lot like one of the malaria infections (there are several). The sooner it is treated the better. Some of them can be treated and go away. There is a nasty one that comes back regularly. Make sure someone drive you and brings you home. I'm sure your doc will take blood to determine what, of the many things out there, it could be.

Good luck.

it sounds like ensephalitis. Im not sure if i spelled that right. but my friend got that from a sting. it bad news. I hate to worry you but get in quick

There was also warnings that there were malaria mosquitos in Dominican. My friend is going and she has medicine to take.

sounds kind of like lyme to me.
