Oh goodness! Go to the doctor now instead of later if you really think it is a Black Widow bite.

I went yesterday, I’m on cephalexin. I don’t think there’s much else I can do but wait

Sure there is. Get a 2nd opinion!

I hope so too I’m pretty sick right now and may have to go to ER if I get worse. After talking to a couple smart people the consensus is black widow bite. Browsing byc makes everything better though

have you taken cephalexin before? a reaction to it is possible too

I believe the first opinion, idk what else could be done but monitor me for fever/seizures

As much as I hate doctors, I'd recommend that you go back. The antibiotic they gave you might not be working, or might be making you sick. Not trying to freak you out, but sometimes finding the right antibiotic for you takes a couple tries. Always better safe than sorry.

Yeah I’ve taken it before. I don’t think it’s a reaction, symptoms have been the same since the bite, just a little worse

Exactly what I'm sayin'

Please, make us all feel better & at least call the doctor.

Eh.. I really don’t want to though. I had a seizure last night most likely from the fever and maybe stress (i really really hate going to the doctor). I always feel terrible the day after a seizure anyway, it’s just extra terrible now

I’ll talk to hubby about calling the general doc and neurologist

You might not be reacting to it. It might be that the antibiotic isn't the right antibiotic to fight this particular infection. If the symptoms are not improving & getting worse, the doctor needs to know.

Ok. I'll step down from my maternal soap box now.
