I was stung by a wasp and almost instantly within a minute or two, I went from being full alert to sleepiness. It was a big wasp too, not a bumble bee. I couldn't even hold myself up because all I wanted to do was sleep. It felt like an overdose of neocitran. My limbs were heavy and I was slow in my response. My husband rushed me to the hospital. Although the administration was fast, hence the one star I'm giving here, I was quickly dismissed by the doctor that my slight paralysis or muscle relaxation was only psychological and had nothing to do with the sting. There was no way it was psychological. Do doctors feel that we do these things for fun? On Mother's Day!? I remember the nurse at the triage asking me how come I'm not answering her questions...My brain was working but I just couldn't respond to her. Seriously, I would if I could. It was unbelievable at how quickly they dismissed me. The numbness finally wore off after 5-6 hours at home. My foot was then swollen and then the pain totally kicked in. It's true that I did not have any life threatening signs or symptoms but for the doctor to simply say it's psychological was insulting.
