It’s not my gallbladder or my pancreas; it’s most likely the recalled heparin I’ve been having The Hubster inject into my body for the last few weeks.

Reported adverse patient reactions have included: stomach pain or discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased or low blood pressure, chest pain, fast heart rate, dizziness, fainting, unresponsiveness, shortness of breath, the feeling of a strong or rapid heartbeat, drug ineffectiveness, burning sensation, redness or paleness of skin, abnormal sensation of the skin, mouth or lips, flushing, increased sweating, decreased skin sensitivity, headache, feeling unwell, restlessness, watery eyes, throat swelling, thirst, bleeding tendencies and difficulty opening the mouth. Some of these reactions, particularly profound and refractory hypotension, may be severe or life-threatening.

I’ve been dealing with several of the above conditions for the last few weeks and have discussed them with various medical professionals during that time. Because I am pregnant, some seem like they just sometimes come along as a side effect of pregnancy- but not when you jumble them all together in a short time frame.

My doctor wondered why I only recently started having problems. Well, up until a few short weeks ago I was using Heparin left over from my pregnancy with Levi- year old Heparin that has never been involved in a recall and came from a different lab then Baxter.

I had another bad pain attack tonight and while I panted on the floor like a dog, wishing for death, all I could think was Thanks A Lot China!
