I know EXACTLY what you mean, only MY crisis was b/c I took a sip of coke and by that time my nasal passages were so weak that I choked - literally could not breathe for about a min - after the 3rd one I was ready for the ICU - could not swallow @ all! I mean, not even ICE! Scary!
You do need one of those bracelets - they are very, very helpful - especially since there are meds that we simply
cannot take.
Sounds like you need to have your meds upped for a while - either that or the liquid gold that I am always on......sux, but helps quite a bit for most of us.......wish it worked for ALL of us!
You need to take it ez and see your neuro SOON! JUst tell (s)he what is going on and they will give you the help you need!
Hang in there, hon!
