Hi @amberpep. Those symptoms sound awful and very confusing. It’s great that you have decided to go to the doctor for further examination. I see in other posts you have made that you believe this to be cat scratch fever.
Here is some more information on cat scratch fever or cat scratch disease that I thought you may find interesting:

@jenkie and @jlfisher56 both have experience with cat scratch fever and may be able to help you figure out what this is.
Have you had a chance to go to the doctor or MedExpress yet? What did you find out?

Wow Ethan .... that's it. It has finally healed, but I know if it opened it would bleed. But, it's healed over enough so it doesn't easily open. It was nasty .... I couldn't believe so much blood could come from such a small hole on my arm. But, I did have a headache, was tired all the time. I went to the clinic near me - not my own doctor as he was full - she looked at it and went "hmmmmm" .... then she slightly pinched it and blood all down my arm again! She.He asked me if I had leukemia! I told her no and again what happened. She just sort of blew me off and said, well, it'll go away in time. Well, gee, that was helpful. abby

Hi Ethan .... thank you so much for your input. Now today it seems to be drying out and not looking so awful. I'll wait another day or so before I decide what to do.
