40+ days since exposure and just got PEP 2 days ago, worried about failure.
I have read the FAQ.
exposure date: May 19th
Location: South Carolina
Date of first PEP/shots July 2nd
Around 11 pm walking home, a bat flew directly into me and onto my upper arm, I didn't think much of it at the time, because, truth be told, I am a stupid person and didn't really understand the mortal danger I was and now am in. It was directly on my skin, and very much for all I know, bit me. Remembering it it looked like it did.
around Thursday After realizing my horrible mistake, I went into the ER to tell them. They were mortified. quickly rushed me into a room, and gave me day zero PEP with HRIG included into the spot of where I got bit supposedly.
its been two days now, or almost, since its 2 am as I write this. I've felt whoozy or off or worse in the past day, but in the past 2 hours or so my throat feels off and I just feel out of it. drinking water is hard, but like, I can still drink it fully just in gulps or so, I can drink water.
I'm due for more shots on Sunday and honestly, I'm horrified at the thought of PEP failure. That I was in the end too late and, that, I'm going to die of rabies now. I know I can have issues with health anxiety, but I am very very scared of the prospect of me being too late. I did not realize this subreddit even existed until now. I should be in the clear, right? I am very worried. I'm trying to drink water even if I don't want to or don't need to. Thank you.
