Title: Near Death Experiences
Post by yikes_another_one on Sep 17^th, 2004, 7:50pm

Just a thought I am having,

How many of you had near death experiences?

Or Electrical Accidents?

When I was a child, I got some jolts from a
carnival ride that wasn't properly grounded....
now I wonder if that is what "wired" me into
these thrilling ch's...

It's not as far out a theory as it sounds....
more people walk away from lightning strikes and
other mishaps than they used to....because of 911,
and better shoes....lol....

just wondering what you have experienced....

About 20 years ago I had a gun pointed in my face because some drug dealers thought I was narcing on them. Luckily I was able to get out of the situation to make a long story short. It was a very tense situation.

About 11 years ago I overdosed on cocaine and started convulsing and my husband found me purple and not breathing and called 911. I woke up naked in a bathtub with my husband, kids , and parents, cops and emts starting at me.

A couple of years ago I went into the ER because I had a migraine. The dr gave me my usual 4mg of dilaudid. Had me wait a half an hr to see how I was. For the first and only time it didn't help that much. The dr being symptathetic to my pain offered me the option of 2mg more of diluaid(6mg total). I just wanted the pain to stop and also get a rest from my clusters. So I said yes. I don't even remember leaving the hospital much less my husband driving me home. He undressed me and put me to bed then went downstairs to watch a video. The phone rang and for some reason he decided to come upstairs and answer the phone in our office accross the hall from out bedroom. He looked in the bedroom from the office and noticed I was blue and non responsive. He hung up and dialed 911. I woke up in the ambulance with the worse ha ever. They gave me narcan and pulled all the narcotics out of my sytem. They said 15 min. more and I would have not been recoverable. I got lucky. The dr that gave me the diluadid was standing at the ER door waiting for me when the ambulance brought me in. His only words were,
"She walked out of here ok." Seeing how that effected my family gave me the will to live again. I had been feeling suicidal from being chronic for so long. I thanked the dr for giving me a new perspective on life and the will to live again and assured him I wouldn't sue.

Now I know that none of these 3 near death experiences had anything to do with causing my ch's but my ch's and migraines did cause I near death experience.

When I was a kid I got allergy shots and went into anaphylactic (sp?) shock after one. I watched from outside my body as the dr revived me. 5 years ago I had a burst brain aneurysm and was not expected to live. No matter how they try - they can't get rid of me. 8)

lmao.....

I only asked, because some scientists were saying that when you die...or almost die.... we go through a time of "suffication" where the heart/brain may stop and there is no oxygen.

i thought maybe that would be a common thread to the abnormal hypothalamus...hence the small number of people with these darn headaches.

My near death experience was much more innocent than Johnny's lol

I was 3 and my sister wasn't gonna let me have my way. So I held my breath. My sister paniced, and almost gave in, but my mom said, "let her hold her breath. When she passes out, she'll start breathing again..."

Needless to say I was up to the challenge, and never breathed again....until 5 minutes later, when my sister was knealing by my side in prayer....begging God to send me back. From heaven I looked down and thought I had to go back so my sister wouldn't be so sad.....

and now i am stuck here until God calls me back....

thanks for sharing your experiences....

even though it's hard to laugh while ducking the moster blows, it's nice to be able read some fun stuff!!!!!!!
