    I have suffered acute liver failure leading to acute multiple organ failure ( As a result of disease). This is no joke - it has a mortality rate of some 80%. I had a rare autoimmune condition at same time, (hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis or HLH), undiagnosed, so my chances of surviving were about 0 and I had a doctor tell me in no uncertain terms that I was going to die in that hospital bed. After heroic efforts by so many people to keep me alive they determined I needed my spleen removed because my red & white cells and platelets were critically low and my spleen was about 8lb because it was keeping all the blood. I have been closer to death than nearly anyone alive to tell about it. Finding a surgeon was just one of many hurdles because they determined I was too critical and unstable to survive surgery. One surgeon agreed but then it was convincing anesthesiologists. It took a team of anesthesiologists to do a somewhat routine surgery. I was in a medically induced coma and on life support for quite a while. 6mo in an ICU bed, having to learn to walk again, multiple dvt/pe, still disabled as a result. Don't mess with medicine. Some may have a lot of play before serious injuries and some, like Tylenol, take 1 mistake to put you in danger. It's not worth your life or the difficulties it can permanently cause to get some likes online.

It wasn't really awful for me at the time because I was so heavily medicated. It was after I started to recover that fear really was a problem. Would I be discharged only to die after fighting so hard? After months in a nursing home at age 30 I made it home and PTSD hit - it's a process. I made it through for a reason and I try to make the most of every moment every day because they're all seemingly borrowed.

That's why when the virus enters your body at a later time, your immune system fights back and destroys the invader. It truly is remarkable to think that entire wars are fought to protect you

    When I was newly an adult and at college for the first time, a new friend introduced me to drinking cough medicine. We used to robo-trip, and I had drunk a full bottle several times before. While I read that dextromethorphan isn't typically dangerous in larger doses in some medical journals, those other ingredients surely weren't great to overdose on.
    One time at a party, I got so messed up that time appeared to be wavering, slowing and speeding up. I freaked out and tried calling 911, but don't think I did, and wound up staring at the ever changing pattern on the wall all night trying to come down. My heart would typically beat at a high rate while sitting still for several hours into the next day.
    I decided to not do it again, and it's been decades since then. My health is pretty good, but man, I really wonder what hell I was causing inside when I was young.

      this is how i felt when i accidentally od’d on 10 mg of weed. i was high for 3 days straight i think, and i couldn’t tell what was real and what was not. i have a lot of mental health issues, and i had already struggled with problems relating to derealisation. i lived in a state where weed was legal, and in my high, i’d tried to call an ambulance but the person i was with wouldn’t let me so i had to sit, high as hell all night long. i think at one point i was in the bath tub, letting cold water run on me to help ground myself, and then i also wound up in the kitchen gagging real bad. 😭 so yeah, no drugs. drugs = bad
      i swore off weed forever after that incident

    I knew a college girl who had terrible menstrual cramps, for which she took whatever OTC medicine she could get. Apparently she poured both acetaminophen and ibuprofen pills into a small bottle she kept in her purse. And whenever the pain got to be more than she could deal with, she took more pills. She wound up with liver damage that made her unable to keep down food for two weeks, until her liver recovered. Eventually she did recover her liver function. She eventually needed a hysterectomy for the endometriosis that had caused her period pain.

He also changes the ending sometimes, as he's said in other videos. But with all of that being said, yea, you could die from nyquil chicken or taking too much Acetaminophen in general.

    Just dropping by to tell that my mom passed away 2 months ago due to a terminal liver cancer. She was gradually getting less and less sane (mentally), but on the long run, she knew when she was saying gibberish. But when the time came that she didn't know anymore whether she was asleep or not and started losing her balance, I knew that this was brain damage happening, and that it was because of the high amounts of ammonia there. I knew that in her condition, this couldn't be helped, and to know that made me deal with the process so much better. My stepfather thought it was morphine overdose, but I knew it was her own body shutting down, and this made me calm, because I knew all I had to do was to relieve her pain and take her to her eternal rest in some comfort and without suffering. And I must thank you for all the videos, learning how the hyperammonemia shows signs and why it happens made it much better to cope with her condition and her passing.

      Blessings to your departed mom and you. My dad passed a couple months ago, and hospice was wonderful in educating us in what to expect and what the typical natural processes were. The educational aspect of their care was primary in helping us, because then it felt like what dad was experiencing was to be expected and could be addressed. A significant component of a lot of trauma isn't the actual injury but rather the inability to assess and competently address what's happening. Again, the educational aspect is unbelievably helpful in processing and dealing with stuff. I've had sports injuries that have been on the extremes when it came to knowing what happened: the one where I received lots of actual "care" but very little explanation for what happened made me feel as if I'd been majorly under-served, whereas the one where I received very little care but lots of explanation and education empowered me and greatly reassured me.

    I am really amazed at the knowledge accumulated in the medical field, and grateful that you're here to address and explain how toxicity isn't just as simple as "too much, flush it out or find an antidote", but is a complex can of worms that can spiral out of control and obscure the cause.
    Given the above, as a mechanic, I find diagnosis and repair of an issue can be daunting at times, even if the issue seemed trivial at first. I can only imagine that challenge with a biological system being many times more difficult, and I appreciate how you show us the surface and depth of what's involved and how important it is to be careful with our bodies.

      Seriously, i love this channel for this reason. I always knew acetaminophen was toxic to the liver in high doses but never stopped to think what was actually happening. Had no idea it was just the main pathway being overwhelmed and the secondary's metabolites are super toxic. Also never knew about the backup plan to neutralize that metabolite and that's the really interesting part to me. I always assumed they just pumped your stomach and crossed their fingers that too much didn't get absorbed, but nope there's an antidote if you get them there quickly enough.

      A really short way to describe these complex things:
      The body really likes to be stable (homeostasis), and has a number of systems designed to buffer against changes. When something goes beyond the limits of those homeostasis promoting systems, bad things happen.

    I remember, as a kid, oh about 30 years ago now, reading about a teen who majorly overdosed on Paracetamol in a suicide attempt. But he changed his mind and called for help. What really horrified me was that it was too late. The process had started and was nothing that doctors could do. He was certain to die. It was just a waiting game.
    I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, and have spent my whole life taking extremely dangerous medications. But that one article in my grandparents’ Readers Digest drove home a lesson I’ve never forgotten: EVERY medication has the potential to be deadly. I’m still anxious about Acetaminophen/Paracetamol despite taking more infamous, heavily controlled pain medications. I have emergency NARCAN nasal spray on hand if I ever accidentally overdose on my opioid pain meds. In my 20s I lost two friends to prescription drug misuse/abuse. I think that article did better than any lecture from my doctors to impress upon me a respect of the danger of all medications, and may have in some way saved my life.
    Not all overdoses are the same. But dead is dead.

      On the one hand, I absolutely get your fear and it’s legitimate. On the other, as the son of a nurse and pharmacist, it takes a LOT of OTC meds to OD, especially Tylenol. 2 bottles is over 9g of acetaminophen, which is equivalent to 18 500mg pills (which is itself over four times the recommended dose), except even more dangerous given how it metabolizes.
      You’re absolutely right to respect your meds, but at the same time following directions and talking with your doctor AND pharmacist (my dad has caught errors in the past, which is why he’s there) will keep you safe, as well.

      if you don’t mind why opioids and not biologics?

    • @MegCazalet

      @@thomasford5893 I’m on biologics too actually but didn’t want to get too technical explaining! They have all been injections or infusions given by someone else, so I built a different relationship to them. And couldn’t overdose myself. Been through tons of them since Enbrel was first available in ‘99. But I’m currently on Xeljanz, that’s FINALLY a pill after years of sticks when needles have been a phobia since I was strapped down for excruciating Gold injections at ages 3-6 when first diagnosed. Huge relief.
      Unfortunately the permanent joint damage already done has been severe, and even biologics stopped working around 2008 until some new ones came out, so my joints are pretty destroyed and my RA is still very active though at least somewhat tamed. So opioids are unfortunately a necessary part of my daily life. Getting them is going through a strict series of flaming hoops, but without them I’d be unable to withstand it. Even going off just Advil prior to a recent surgery caused me to become less mobile. I’m lucky to live when and where I do! My wrists are both fused in place, but I have access to the best doctors and can afford it all. Joint replacement is still down the road because I have to start at the shoulders and move down, in order to be able to do recovery exercises properly. And I need to redo my jaw which will take steps. Ugh.
      More answer than you probably wanted but it’s my life so I get quite chatty, even though typing is hard. Hope that wasn’t tmi! Thanks for asking!
