No. No. No........you can get rabies by: a bat that is rabid biting you. there may be other ways to get it but i KNOW that you can't get rabies by a bat flying over your head. I swear this to you on a stack or two of bibles.....for the stiffness and such....my bet is that you're worried and you've been sleeping in weird positions and you're sore and you have been ambushed by all of the tension in your head/body. I believe that it's mind over matter here and that's got you going in circles. I sympathize because I know you're scared but I truly believe that you're in no danger. I would put some low heat on the sorest spots........and if you have some sort of mentholatum rub, massage small amounts of it into the sorest muscles. don't overdo the heat..just hot enough for comfort. you can warm a towel and use it if you don't have a heating pad or hotwater bottle. please post again tomorrow and let us know how you're doing....xoxoxo pat
