    Drama for Hart

    Well I got everybody stirred up yesterday!

    I wasn't feeling well when I woke, but it is end of the year, end of the month and time was due ot payroll, I had to get my butt in.

    So on the way in, driving a stick shift by the by, I stopped at a store to get my weekly lunches, then spied an energy drink. Three times the norm! That's the ticket!

    So I get to work and drink it YUCK! Then I'm sweating like a dog and colder than heck! My thoughts are racing and I can't remember from forming a thought to actually remember the formula to implement it for my reports.

    People come in to my office, I'm uncharacteristically rude and short with them. A woman's perfume makes me wanna barf.

    Finally not making progress on my report and feeling stiff and unbendable I call my boss to come to my office. He takes one look at me and calls an ambulance.

    I'm hysterical. I can remember some things but not others. I'm spouting random shit compulsively and can't stop. I do have the presence of mind to notice the four, very good looking men who come to take me!

    I end in the hospital, my potassium level is dangerously low, they do a CAT scan, but I don't get the results before I go out AMA. I pulled my IV out. DON'T DO THAT! My hand swelled like I was going give birth to a Alien right thru my hand. Got everybody's attention.

    I call my hubby (who has no idea this is going on) I call my work and tell them I'm ok and will be in tomorrow. And so I am.

    Will be going to see doc Wednesday to see if she can tell me what the Hell went on.

    Gee, I didn't drink any alcohol yesterday! :H

      Wow! That's horrific! I sure wouldn't drink that same drink again! Like "no dah!" right? :hitme: Maybe it contained ephedrine. I understand that some people are so alergic to it that the first time they consume it can lead to death. See attched. Treat yourself to some TLC! Glad you are alright! :l:h:l

          Hart,

          So glad you are okay today!!

          Dangerously low potassium does not seem good. I hope you get it figured out so it doesn't happen again.

          Love,

            Hart, Honey!!That was a BAD Monday! I have low potassium, and it can be related to heart problems. Be sure your doc checks that since I have an arrythmia and didn't know for a long time. If you like bananas, or can at least stand them, eat a couple everyday. It's helped me. Let us know how it comes out!

                I think you had brewed up a horrible combination of stress, chemicals (in the energy drink) and quite possibly no nutrition ( breakfast) and your body just revolted.

                    Aherm.........I did read it correctly, didn`t I, hart ??........"the four, very good looking men who come to take me!".........GHEE WHIZZ.........some women will go to any length!!! :H

                    Seriously though.........I have always been wary of high energy drinks.........I think if we eat a balanced diet and get in a bit of exercise, we shouldn`t need that kind of boost.

                    Will be interesting to hear what the doc thinks happened to you...........

                    Take it easy, although.........I know you won`t.........I mean.........I know you don`t like letting people down, but........into work the very next day??!!!

                      I am a little more concerned about jerking the IV out and leaving the hospital AMA!!

                      Hart...

                      Low potassium can be caused by several things, but low potassium can cause heart failure.

                      I hope you get the root cause figured out.
