Luckily I'm feeling much better now so you won't have to listen to me whine, Nature Boy. LOL Remember though: I'm still one up on you...and I'm on my way to rehouse my Ornata now....it might just be two! LOL No way...
Seriously though, thanks for all the kind thoughts guys...I'm feeling a lot better - no more cramping, just soreness now. And, as stated before, I wasn't holding him or even attempting to hand feed him....just opened the lid the drop a roach in and he was near the top and jumped on my hand...immediately grabbed on with his fangs and refused to let go! Had to pry him off - the little bugger. Rob

Rob, how do you fell now man? Are you OK? I mean, no muscle pain or whatever?
What the people at the hospital said about your state?
"OMG, he had an crack overdose, let's get a... What, a P. regalis, are you insane??? You should be on crack, its safer! And that is from the P... Ah, a T. blondi? Riiiiiiiight... Call the psychologist, we have a serious candidate to the mental house right next to that 7 S. calceatum guy! Yeah, that naturist boy or something"

Hey Rob, glad to see your still breathing! Guess you'll be doing the one handed keyboard shuffle for awhile~ .
How is the pain and inflammation?

Rob,
Is it possible for you to give us a timeline, including when you took antihistamines, roughly how much, and when symptoms came about?
I think what you got was basically all nerve activation stuff... tachycardia and the cramping is all nerves firing too much to my ears. I'm keen to put a good detailed time line on it.
Drinking, even peeing can be useful stuff to know about.

This was actualy funny. I said "I got bit by a tarantula"....nurse said "are you sure"....I said "yeah I am pretty sure".....she says "how sure???" I said " pretty sure I have 300 in my basement. she said "How big was the one that bit you".....I said "small only 4 inches".....she said "Oh' my god that is huge".....I said "Not realy my biggest is amost or over 11 inches".....she said "I would faint".....I said "most are harmless, just big".....she said "why are you here then???".....I said "My wife pretty much made me, know get me some muscle relaxers so I can get out of her and get sopme Mcdonalds, I am hungry!!!!".....She said "It is a 3 hour wait"......I said "CYA later!!!". I left and went home.....robthen lets discuss it here ^^

Yeah, that probably did nothing.
It's not an allergic response you were having. It was venom, through and through.

Yeah, all it did was make me very sleepy. I took the Benedryl right away in case of an allergic reaction...you just never know and I've been there with bee stings and any kind of shell fish and really don't want to go through it again. Figured at the very least, it couldn't hurt...Rob
