Does Jelly Fish Sting Cause Arthralgia, Myalgia And Sweating?

I got stung by a jelly fish in SC on vacation. The last few weeks, I have sweating and feel hot all the time, arthralgias and myalgias. I have fibromyalgia and a connective tissue disease, could this be related to the jelly fish sting, I still have the marks.

Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

Yes, it can cause such type of reactions i would like to suggest to you that you should undergo blood testing.

Without testing it will be very difficult to diagnose such condition because you have connective tissue disease also.

Jelly bean sting can be associated with such a reaction because it can be image myoglobin in the muscle.




I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
