janineerrn Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Hi All,I hope this finds you all as well as u can be. Interesting turn of events. I went for an adenosine stress test as some of you may know, and I had an allergic reaction. Well my tongue turned BLACK!!! I went to docs, was short of breath. It turns out that the adenosine is excreted from your body through your lungs. They scanned my lungs and they were "charred" just like my tongue was.It was touch and go for a while but with my persistance I didnt get intubated ( I actually told my doc if he shoved that tube down my throat against my will I would shove it up his ***) . Im back home and weaning off of oxygen.I got a lot of fluids so I feel pretty good except for the breathing which should go away. Im judging by my tongue, its a light brown now.The apple trees are all in bloom as are the dogwoods and all my spring flowers. I am enjoying them right now. Bored silly.Have a Great Day AllJanine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be Still Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Yikes! Janine, that is so scary. I'm glad that you are doing better, but it's frightening to think we could have lost you simply from a test. We are all so sensitive!!Hang in there, let the mountain heal you, and stay the heck away from hospitals for awhile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janineerrn Posted May 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Thank Guys, Ive Missed You ALL!!The Good news is that between the nuclear scan of my entire cardiac system, the echo, and that horrid adenosine stress test my heart and all the vessells are perfect. i have no sign of plaque or CAD. Only a slight mitral valve regurge which is very common.Have a great day allJanine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
