O/T Whoa! What just happened to me?
This happened to me about 3 hours ago. But before going into it. I guess it would be a good idea to set up what has occurred the last couple of days first.
I'd been sleeping better recently and then the last few night, not so much. We celebrated with family on Thanksgiving, where I did have a small piece of chocolate pie (I generally never eat
Sugar anymore) and it may have lowered my immune system a bit (plus was in the presence of some stuffy nosed little people)...because that night I decided I needed to do the drops of peroxide in the ears & take some Vit C.
Then yesterday I decided to do a
coffee enema (as I do them from time to time for detox) may not have been a good idea considering my immune system may have been low. It was later in the day as well. Didn't sleep good that night either.
Today I still didn't feel myself and started thinking about how I'd sleep tonight. In the recent past I had started taking some niacin and 1 gram of vit C after each meal and found that it did seem to help me sleep.
So today I jumped up, not thinking it had been 4 hours since I ate and I downed about 400 milligrams of niacin and a gram and half of vit C. Stupid I know!
I started getting hotter and hotter. The niacin flush was off the charts...I could feel it in my stomach big time. And I got up and drank 2 cups of water...and waited a few minutes. Then I thought about food and got up to eat something and that's when everything started.
I got sick to my stomach, my head started swimming, everything started feeling far away, swaying almost and as Doug was talking to me it felt like it was far away...I remember him saying "are you having a heart attack"...
I said no...and but then I couldn't decide what to do...I was disoriented...didn't know whether to go lie down or eat something. As he was holding on to me...he said my eyes rolled back in my head (I don't think that actually happened I just think he was scared) and I just went to the ground.
The floor was cold and I laid there for just a minute and then got up (I kept feeling like I had to have something simple & quick on my stomach)
I looked for the almond milk but we were about out. Then grabbed the organic milk (used to make kefir) and drank some of it and some almond butter. Then started to feel a bit better.
I think it was a combo of sick stomach, and niacin flush on an empty stomach. Doug keeps thinking I had a mini stroke or something. That sounds crazy but I do know that the drugs I was on for years (off 9yrs) have affected the brain/heart connection. Getting better though...
So what say you...
