Have gotten a dose of this before in the ER. Absolutely do not recommend!!
Do I even want to know? Must feel like you're dying?
Ive never rexperienced anything like it. It happens extremely fast. Dr injected into the IV and instantaneously every muscle in my body contracted (at least that's what it felt like), I lost my vision temporarily although my eyes were still open. Similarly I couldn't hear anything either. I was filled with an extreme feeling of...rushing...adrenaline... Really hard to describe. I felt my heart give one last big THUMP and then stop.
And suddenly, my heart started again. My vision and hearing restored, I was back in the ER surrounded by Dr and nurses and techs. Breathing hard, somewhat confused and experiencing a little twinge in my back from the contractions.
The whole experience took maybe 3-4 seconds. It felt like minutes.
That sounds all sorts of awesome and awful at the same time
That's exactly what's happening(for a short moment).
No? What's it like?
