Basic info: F (15) 5’2 113 pounds
Day after stings: 14

I got stung on the neck, directly behind the ear and located slightly above the collar bone. The sting was by a non-lethal scorpion (the striped bark) so I assumed I was fine.

Symptoms: (out of the norm)

-Day 1: 9:30 pm sting, went to bed after.

- Day 2: neck stiffness

-Days 3-8:
stiffness slowly moves up and down the body (only on the half)

Days 9-11:
Stiffness, slight numbness, slightly heavy limbs.

Days 12-14:
Lethargy, feels like I have to fight to stay conscious occasionally, more recently trouble forming thoughts or speaking.

Today: all building symptoms still present, stings are slightly raised and a light brownish pink color. They resemble spider bites and have been slowly going down from how inflamed they were at the start.

I can preform small workouts, though with a lot of effort. I do PT for an unrelated reason a few times a week. It is quite difficult with these symptoms but I * *am able to complete the tasks.

Overall, I simply want to know if going to the doctor would be necessary. It will likely be a last resort due to family issues.

Thank you! Have a lovely day :D

Hi,

I was assaulted nearly 3 years ago. I was giving a co worker a lift home from work and he grabbed my breast before leaving my car. Everything was sorted at work and he no longer works there. I am in a long term relationship and was unable to have sex for a while but I went to therapy etc and eventually everything seemed normal again although I still had moments of upset. Anyway, almost 3 years on I'm now hyper sexualised. I want sex multiple times per day and want attention from other men and I've never experienced this before. My sex drive before the assault was quite high but nothing like this. I feel so guilty wanting attention from others even though I would never actually do anything. Has anyone else experienced this?
