Peanuts

Jan 08, 2010 22:54

We can safely up my "very mild" stomach cramps and general sad face reaction to peanuts to "severe", in which I am put through a multitude of pains, vomitting and abject terror about being shunted off this mortal coil.

Bad times indeed.

Walking home in -7C temperatures probably didn't assist matters greatly.

I'm okay.

Just a bit. They had to take me to Accident and Emergency in hospital just to be on the safe side, which is kind of a wake up call.

The worst part was probably not knowing what it was at first, since it was so cold I was blaming that.

Or maybe the breathing difficulties.

And the all over, painfully itchy rash was none too pleasant either.

I'm glad you're okay at least~

Mm, complete list of symptoms would be:

Stomach cramps
Light-headedness
Tightness of chest
Swollen nasal membranes causing a complete congestion (i.e inability to breath through nose at all)
Swollen eyes
Itchy allover rash that radiated heat
General weakness
Retching cough
Vomitting
Hypertension (177/77, according to the hospital and that was after some time resting)

It wasn't that bad, but it was below freezing outside and having difficulty breathing in that weather in genuinely terrifying. It was a very stupid thing to walk home when it worsened, but stubborness prevailed.

Honestly, I was hanging off lamposts and resting every few minutes of walking because I felt so terrible. It was sheer force of will that got me home, which probably surprises me more than anyone.
