ScubaMike14:I do not wear a wetsuit or skin of any kind. Water temp is around 88 and much too hot for me. As for "protection" I usually only wear something on wreck dives.

He prescribed me with 2 meds, one is what they give people to neutralize the effects of a Tylenol overdose. The 2nd is what they give for ingestion of blowfish toxin (sushi). Both are oral meds that I have to take twice a day for a week. The toxin is flushed out through your kidneys, so he also gave me a Vitamin B complex to aid in kidney function. These meds with LOTS of fluids will hopefully fix things in a few days.
The joint pain is gone, but I am still very tired. Slept 16 hours yesterday.
I have tried to post a pic of the wound, but that feature isn't working for me right now.
