"whilst on the infusion i was unable to eat food. i became very sensitive to smells and had a metallic taste in my mouth even after the infusion was stopped.  i obtained about 12 hours sleep over 12 days, and 15 days after cessation of treatment am just beginning to sleep more effectively.  i became very sensitive to light and that is still continuing as is the light-headedness, and unsteady on my feet. my blood pressure rose above 200, but my pulse rate dropped to 53.  i felt as though i had an elephant sitting on my chest and i felt that i was having difficulty breathing but observations did not support my feelings. i developed a cough, almost like hiccups, but no tickle at the back of the throat, i also became dis-associated from the pain."
