I think I may have West Nile Virus? Please help?
I have about 10 mosquito bites. I started using the repellent after I got bitten, which I should have just used it from the beginning.
For the past few days I’ve had a headache. It goes away for a little bit, but then comes back. Tonight at work my stomach started hurting and I felt nauseous. So I ran to the bathroom and threw up. I’ve also been really tired. I went to bed last night around 10:00 and had to get up at 9:30 this morning and could barely get out of bed. My back has also been killing me. I’m just a mess!
Living in Colorado, I know all about West Nile Virus and mosquitoes. I’ve never had it but I started to think that maybe I do. My question is when should I seek medical attention? Because normally, there are just mild cases of it and it goes away on its own. But I’ve heard of people being hospitalized for it. So when do you head to the hospital or doctor for it?

You should seek medical attention [in my opinion] when you feel you need to. If something is wrong, you’ll know. If you suspect you may have it, go to your doctor and talk to him/her about it. Refer to the website below and I hope you get better. Good luck.
