I'm sorry to hear that, Batbite! I think it's important to try to get back to being active and keeping yourself busy. But it's even more important to look after yourself and your own health. If you want to continue doing things like hosting the family for Thanksgiving, then no one is stopping you. Just be prepared for the possible consequences. Is your husband concerned about your issues as well? Make sure you communicate with him if you aren't up for it.

I've been dealing with a few issues myself. In the past 2 weeks, I've been dealing with tingling sensations in my neck and throat. Of course, I'm also still experiencing occasional nerve pain/tingling in my lucky index finger (site of bite/shots). It's more annnoying than anything else. It doesn't throw me into panic attacks like it used to.

Anyway, I hope you and monkeyman are doing well otherwise!
