Author Topic: I got food poisoning.  (Read 790 times)

I need to sleep. Tldw; I ate bad chicken, suppressed the urge to puke, tried to puke and through the process got some sort of paralyzing agent absorbed in my body, and called my parents before I stopped being able to move entirely.  They took me to a bath, it didn't help, we called 911.  The EMTs came, took some readings.  By the time they were finished, I could open my hands again, they gave me some readings and i signed the no ambulence form.

I had them called because I was worried about my heart. I could barely feel a beat, even though I had been moving nonstop since the paralyzation started.  My heart did test slow when the first emt got there.

So what did I learn:
Don't suppress puking.
My heart rate and blood sugar are fine.
I will feel much less annoyed when the fire Dept siren wails in the background.

So...
I am very tired.  I could feel my extremeties tingling, so I was pumping my legs and arms to help keep blood flowing.

This sort of paralyzation is scary.  All of my muscles were locked up, and I had to fight my own body just to keep blood flowing, and to avoid muscle strain.

But it's done with now.  Good people took care of me.
...goodnight.


I once collapsed and fell in the tub when I had a fever but nothing like what you described

Holy stuff. I don't wish that upon my worst enemy. Get well and hang in there, op.

Holy forget, man. I hope you're doing alright. Get well soon, man.

how do you go from not puking to being completely paralyzed holy stuff
