For three days my vision was blurry and I couldn't focus on things no matter how hard I tried or messed with the distance of something to my eyes. I thought at one point I had screwed up my eyes and was going to be blind forever.
I'm still here.

2300 mg. which is 92 pills out of a 100 bottle of 25 mg diphenhydramine can kill you. My friend's heart stoped. Asystole. Fortunately for her & despite all the odds, she lived. She had a lactic acid level of 26. The docs all said she would not survive the night even in the Intensive Care Unit. In the morning, the Hospitalist & chief MD claimed a miracle had occurred. The residents were summoned to witness what the Chief of Medicine said he had never seen in 30 years of practicing medicine. His name is Dr. Stone & he is/was in charge of Emergency Medicine at Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore, MD. in 2009.

Pardon me for saying so, but what a STUPID response about damaging your vital organs!
I suffered liver disease (NASH), which led to cirrhosis, which ultimately led to a transplant. I was LUCKY in that I received a new liver, and I didn't have to wait years. But I WAS very sick before my transplant. I was on oxygen 100% of the time, slept most of the day and night, was jaundiced - the whole nine yards. I developed encephalopathy before my surgery. I don't really remember that time, but others tell me I was definitely not "myself." My husband and son told me I had a short fuse, which is not my personality. Because of the encephalopathy, I had to take a liquid medication which was the equivalent of a high-powered laxative. It wasn't just that it made me move my bowels, it gave me runny diarrhea. I can't tell you how many times I had an "accident." It wasn't pretty. I took that medication twice a day. Occasionally, I could miss the evening dose, but ONLY if I'd already had 3 bowel movements that day. I literally had to be near a toilet 24/7. Sound like fun to you? It wasn't.
I couldn't even walk to the bathroom without being winded. That is because I had pulmonary hypertension from the liver disease. NOT fun.
I was lucky. I wasn't on the transplant list for long. I am told I got a liver so quickly, because of my blood type - AB. That meant I could take ANY liver from ANY donor. Others aren't so lucky. They have to wait for an exact match.
Surgery was intense, but I didn't know. It was over 12 hours. My family just had to wait and hope everything was going ok. Thankfully, the liver started working well right away. It was doing its job 100% just hours after surgery, and has been going strong since then. I know how lucky I am. And, I know somebody else had to DIE so that I could have their liver and live!
The pain was excruciating. Liver transplant is the most painful transplant surgery, I've been told. Do you know the pain scale that hospitals use for you to rate your level of pain? I can tell you, the pain of liver transplant surgery is about 100 times the very worst pain you could imagine! I was at the top of the scale with regard to pain for WEEKS. They gave me oral pain medicine - oxycordone. It helped with the pain, but when my pain was FINALLY lessening, and I was weaned from it to something less, I had a HORRIBLE withdrawal from it.
Damaging your vital organs is NOT funny. It is NOT a joke. If you have to have a transplant, someone has to DIE. Maybe you should start worrying about it BEFORE you are on the transplant list!!!
