i need help. i think i might have dcs or skin bends. here is the info. i dove in belize on 4/14/05.
dive profile: 25 min. @ 85 ft., 25 min @ 65 ft w/ saftey stop, 1.5 hrs rest, 30 min. @ 65 ft., 15 min. @ 40 ft. w/ saftey stop.
after the dive i felt fine infact, 2.5 hrs. after the dive i worked out at the gym. i also had some alcholic drinks later that night. however i did notice a red mark on the small of my back over the spinal cord. mark was about 1.5 in. wide and 5 in. long.
on 4/15/05 i noticed the red mark on my back had gotten darker and now looked like a bruise but did not hurt like one. i had gotten a itchy rash on upper arms, shoulders, chest, and back.
on 4/16/05 the rash appeared to be getting better but still itched, started getting more dark marks like the one on my back, on shoulders, upper arms, and wrists. i also started getting dark freckle like markes on my forearms, wrists, stomach.
today i still have all the dark marks and spots, rash has gotten better but uppararms still itch, i have a sore throut, fell weak and fatigue, and my body aces.
i have pictures of marks if that helps any.
and advice or infor would be helpful
thank you.
