I've been bitten by a wasp before and I agree with the others...It was maybe about an inch or so area that was redden and stung on me and it wasn't all swollen... It burned like hell for a short while

I'd go to a clinic... It sounds like you've had a severe reaction....x

I took a benadryl and slept most of day. Forehead no longer swollen and the eye areas are beginning to as well. Feeling washed out.

Yikes! Do you have something to take when you have a reaction like that?

It's the first time that I've ever had a reaction to an insect bite. The swelling is still on its way down and my energy is pretty good. I'm hoping for a full recovery by tomorrow.

BF: "Everything always happens to you! It's like there's a dark cloud hovering over you". And it's true. Last week was very productive despite the headaches. But this week is going to be a slow one. I had to cancel three clients losing out on a significant amount of $.

Like I said in another post, physical ailments add a lot of stress and it's really challenging to keep from getting overwhelmed.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
