What is going on with me?

[Genmom]

I'm 25, simi healthy. I don't drink; I don't smoke; I don't do any norcotics; I'm over weight; I have cystic, but test conclude noncystic ovaries; I have high blood pressure, but more likey induced to stress; I have family history of Schizophernia, bipolar, fibromiagla, high blood pressure, diabites, cancers (non of the brain), manic depression, senstivity to hormones flux (which I have.) I was taking my HB pills and stopped due to kidney pain (previous issues with stones and infections.) Week later was biten by something, cause fire pain, numbness and tingle. A few days following that, swam in beach got an oily slick which was on skin for a few hours, bc didn't know it was all over my upper shoulder and back. Starting to have pounding in chest and vascular left side the following day, went back on Spiro...lacton. Extreme dizziness, breathing heavier, headaches. Went to doctors and started crying for no reason, still suffuring with dizzy, breathing, aches, and sadness and reoccuring tingle in leftside (left side was bitten). What is going on could it just be HB, or something in the oil, or something completely different

The bite, doesn't have any distintive characteristics. There was no snake, scorpions, or stinger marks. My left foot was discolored for 12 hours, numb, and barely could move it during that time. It got better, but I did have knee pain the following day, a few hours before the swimming in the oil. I have seen a Nurse Practioner and she was ran test for Lyme and dehydrations. When giving the blood for the test, I noticed that the flow was week. For a medium tube it took over 4 minutes to fill up and 2-3 minutes for a small tube. I am starting to feel better, but my toes are tingling and still dizzy. I am wondering that due to lack of hydrations, could it have an effect of the insect bite or the oil. Called poision control and they told me that the oil couldn't come from the gulf, but a month or more, they said it couldn't be on Florida beach bc it was too soon and they were collecting large dog's size poo piles off the FL beach and politicans where asking BP to re evalate their estimate of oil travel. With the storms in the gulf and on the Atlantic east coast, could it push the oil farther then they estimated? Concern, because I decided to look up the report side effects with the volunteers that are around the Corexit 9500 and it is dead on with my issues. But can't find anyone to test for it or anyone know if there is a test for it. I am getting the run around with doctors, health department, and no answer back from noaa if it could be possible. Do you know if there is a test, so I can just put that idea to rest? Feeling like a cover up story right now.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Please consult a poison or internal medicine specialist immediately. The symptoms you are having, look like a snake or a scorpion or some poisonous sting. Also the oily substance has added to the effect. There are blood tests to detect poison in blood from known sources. The poison appears to have a neurological dominance.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Forgot to add, that the dizzyness seems to be contribute to light changes in the left eye.
