I'm still dealing with some back pain as well. I spent a few hours in bed just dealing with my fear.
I've had so many people tell me that I've done everything correctly when handling rabies exposure, but I'm still so so worried. Does anyone have any advice for dealing with these feelings?

Peaceful Day,
You definitely got the shots in time, don't worry about that at all.
You have up to 10 days easily and you got yours done FAR before that. Seriously, I promise.
There has NEVER been a death from rabies vaccine failure either. Never.
100% positive on this.
The numbness and tingling has been experienced by every single person here, so don't you fret. Totally normal. Just keep your hands down and watch a funny movie. Only watch comedies as you go through this, you will be amazed at how much better you feel.
If you need me I'm here and so is BatBite, and many others!
