First, thanks for being here with me! I m a 71 year old female in pretty good health, overweight, but otherwise healthy. I have never had food poisoning, but after eating a light lunch Thurs., 7/13/17, at a local Italian restaurant, we came home and I started feeling terrible, chills, shaking, etc. Light fever and only light barfing . Slept OK that night, and just in/out of bed the entire next lost day! My husband s meal was pasta based and I basically ate the house salad, same as my husband, some bruschetta (sp?) and a bit of the peppers/onions/olive oil side dish. In fact, I kept teasing that the real lunch would be a no cook treat . OK, so Sat., 7/15/17 was another take it easy day but by the afternoon I d noticed a red hot rash around my left ankle and some swelling! Now I thought it might be heart related. I was close to calling 911, but I had no other symptoms, so kept left leg elevated and waited to see if I could get better. Today, Monday, 7/17/17, I went to Urgent Care -- no comment. I tried to get an appointment with a cardiologist, but have to wait until tomorrow when they will call and let me make an appointment. This sure has made me even more grateful to have enjoyed good health all these years! Also, my regular Dr. can t see me until next week. Now I m wondering if this red rash is serious or what?
