Angell, I'm surprised that they didn't keep you there. Did they even check your O2 or do an arterial blood gas?!

MG not only stops muscles from working, but can put the brain to "sleep," too.

Think about being drunk. Or being on anesthesia. MG can cause the general same effect, but from a lack of acetylcholine or "muscle gas." Just as your car was running on empty, you were, too!

That shivering is what I call "MG cold." When MG is bad, your metabolism slows down. In this case, it could also be that your body was trying super hard to cool you off due to heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Hardly matters why, you were too hot and in near a crisis, in my opinion.

Your MG is on the edge right now. You can't push yourself. Is there anyone in your life who can help you? You need to be cool, it's a health necessity. You need to ask your doctor for social worker help. There are many things they can do for you!!!

I wish I could help you more. Please take it easy and don't venture out like that in the heat!!
