I think I got a spider bite on my right tricep, but I'm not 100% certain. I got rashes on the inside of my forearms, then the rashes spread to my legs, neck, and I itch all over (although it's a dull itch). The first doctor gave me 360 mg/day allegra and a shot of cortisone to stop the spread, but it didn't do much. I'm still having shortness of breath as well. I then got numbness in my right arm and my legs, my calves and hamstrings tightened up. I went to the ER last Saturday morning. The doc gave me Biaxin, which I had an allergic reaction to (i.e. it felt like my body was lit on fire). My doctor then changed the prescription to Levaquin. At first, the of the symptoms were decreasing, but now the rashes are still going (even though I've taken Benadryl the last 2 days), the numbness is off and on in my arm and legs, and I'm still having shortness of breath and a tight chest. I am coughing up pleghm too. My tonsils look weird. Is this a bite or some sort of other infection?
