Paging Dr ML

Lots of details to cover my bases.

DH and I are staying at a little cottage and went camping Saturday night. I have a ton of bug bites from camping but they all look like Mosquitos.

Anyway, fast forward to tonight and I took a warm shower then put on some natural repellent (that I've been using 3 days) and some caladryl. I was putting on eye cream when the insides of my arms (below elbow crease) got really hot. I laid down and didn't move for a bit, DH said they were warm but not fever hot. The muscle feels sore and I don't feel it anywhere else.
WTF is going on?? Any ideas?

Also, I ate pho and had lavender fudge custard..

Could it be a reaction to the repellent ?

How do the bug bites look? Are your arms rashy? Do you know if your blood pressure was hi/lo same with your blood sugar?

Any other symptoms?

[amberlyrose]

The bites look fine and no rash. I didn't have any issues when I used the repellent before.

Am I dying?

[amberlyrose]

No idea on blood pressure or sugar, but I did have custard.

Did your arms get red? Are you in a west nile area?

Do you have a fever? How do you feel now?

[amberlyrose]

No redness just warm. No fever yet either, but we always end up having a west nile case in Colorado every year.

Could you be dehydrated?

Maybe? Didn't even think of that!

I don't know west nile symptoms I'm just kinda throwing shit out there.

Did you do anything that would have used your forearm muscles in a way you're not used to? (Insert all the dick jokes)

When I change up my work out I usually have a burning ache in the muscle group I worked. Like every time I randomly go bowling I get a burning ache in my right arm and left calf.

Didn't work out, just went for 2 long walks with the dogs.

Hmm. Well, I'll check my temps in the morning to see if I have a fever

[trixiedicksnatch]

Man I would keep an eye on the bites, and your temp.

But you may want to put a call into your pcp?

Were your dogs on leash? Could they have pulled you harder out of excitement and irritated your joints?

[cuddlyevil]

Did you tear a ligament?

Also, i kind of want lavender fudge custard.

They were but they didn't pull much. Could be a good explanation though.

I woke up fine this morning. No warm arms or fever, but I'm gonna keep an eye on it since I did read that there were cases of west Nile in this county.

No torn ligament.

The custard was the bomb. It was a vanilla base with lavender and fudge mixed in, so light but decadent. Yum!
