I'm itching all over like no ones business and I wasn't in any poisonious ivy, that I'm 100% sure about. Also very shaky and weak and feel like I'm coming down with something, a lot of those little sweat beads even though I'm sitting, exerting no energy.

Now I know I might be overreacting and it could be nothing, but I've had a very, very sore throat for the last 4-5 days. I was worried it was tonsilitis, but maybe it's strep? What does flesh-eating disease come from, isn't it the same thing? I'm probably massively overreacting but even it was something more minor, I would think a doctor would look at it.

I was just at the Market Mall Medical Clinic and described all this to the doc and he said to go home, I'd get better. Well, the last time I went to a clinic I was told to go home and put ice on what turned out to be a Grade 3 sprain/strain/whiplash that took 2 1/2 months of chiro to clear up. How can I believe this clown when he says there is zero percent change one symptom is related to the other?

If there is a rash and you have a fever... call an ambulance or get yourself to an ER right now.
