"Sounds like cyanide poisoning."

Oh, I don't know. You should have seen my face when I got hit by a heart attack. My face was bright red too. When the heart locks down like that, pressure in your chest and upper body feels like its going to pop your head off like a champagne cork.

Glad you made it.

Thanks for the injection of real-world experience. Too bad a lot of folks won't bother with your post.

I have it on good authority that Breitbart was actually struck by a remnant fragment from comet Elenin. Yeah, that's the ticket.

How horrendous! Glad you survived PowderMonkey but from your description it sounds horrifying.

I had an incident with potassium - very, very low level of potassium. Dr. ordered a pure potassium drip. I though of chewing my arm off at the shoulder it was so painful.

Next time I had a similar low potassium reading, the doctor had the potassium diluted over a longer period of time. I only felt a little discomfort.
