Wolf-Parkinson-White, I presume? that must suck dog schlong.
Yeah, I'm feeling much better now, thanks, a few ectopic beats at times, but the sinus tachyarrhythmia has subsided, for now at least. I'll be following it up alright, but hopefully it won't surface again.
I actually have a suspect cause, although the ambulance and ER techs didn't figure it out, and neither did I whilst I was in hospital. Chinchonism, I did I believe, intake some quinine, its used for RLS, used to have as script for it but ditched it because it didn't help efficiently enough. And that would be textbook for severe quinine poisoning. Quinine is less prone to it than its isomer, quinidine, the latter is an anti-arrhythmic agent, class 1a in the Vaughn-Williams system, and either of them can cause it, although quinidine would be the better of the two to use if hypothetically one person was wishing to cause an arrhythmia in another. Although at least with quinidine it causes prolongation of the Q-T wave complex, not sure if quinine itself causes long QT though. But it would sure fit the bill.
And I'm not sure but I could have been exposed transdermally whilst asleep to high levels of nicotine, up to a bit under 40mg at most, assuming 100% absorption (lethal dose is between 40-60mg in an adult, although much less will make you pretty sick, although I've been poisoned by nicotine before, and this was different.)
(the poisoning was due to excess nicotine intake through gum when I was trying to cut down whilst in my spazz boarding school, because getting caught constantly was a nuisance. I've an E-cig,and the tank has glass walls with metal ribbing for support, and several of the glass panes have cracked. I need to give it some of a less brittle glue than the cyanoacrylate (superglue) that I've been using to patch it up, as I don't want to ditch the tank, as mine is 2ml or 3ml, and there have been some totally moronic overregulation by the filthy bitch theresa may limiting tanks to 1ml now by law. And I noticed the tank had totally drained, whilst I slept. Nicotine is very easily absorbed through the skin.
But thanks IQ hun, I have been taking it easy, went to pick my meds up but otherwise have been lazing around on the sofa. I do feel a lot better though now I've picked up my med refill. Fucking locum doctor fucked me too, I'm SUPPOSED to be able to get rescue packs for my seizure med on an ad-hoc basis, so I have an additional quantity of the stuff, that is so I can take a dose when a seizure threatens or if needs be, and I've entered a full on atonic, paralytic attack, have my old man stick a couple in my mouth. This has been arranged in advance and been done for a while, but the fucking locum doctor refused to give me one, saying i've had it too often, ignoring the fact that the packs contain 12-14 capsules per bottle of the rescue pack, one bottle per, and that is enough for dealing with six incidents, well, five to six, seven if its mild and I catch it right away, but they come in waves, I'll go for a while without either the atonic or myoclonic seizure, and if one happens then at least the rest of the day its dangerous for me to sleep. The attacks are highly connected with sleep, almost always happening when coming out of sleep. And if I go back to sleep again then I'll still be prone to another one, when one happens more want to follow it.
And too often? it had been at LEAST two entire months since I had the last one, he was just being a cunt basically, because the seizure med COULD be used as a recreational drug. But if I wanted to do that with chlormethiazole, I could simply make it, I've made it, and analogs of it before, simple cleavage of thiamine (vitamin B1) with metabisulfite or bisulfite, forming a methylated thiazole-2-ethanol precursor, and a convulsant poison (a vitamin B6 antagonist in action, which blocks GABA biosynthesis), called toxopyrimidine, due to its being A-toxic and B-a pyrimidine chemically.
The toxic fraction is highly soluble in water, whilst in cold water the methylthiazole-2-ethanol precipitates out, and is washed and recrystallized to free it from toxopyrimidine. And to be thorough of course, one can always subject the methylthiazole-2-ethanol to fractional distillation under vacuum.
This thiazole compound is then reacted with thionyl chloride, and any excess SOCl2 removed either by distillation and recovery if there is enough to make it worthwhile, otherwise, simply add methanol, the SOCl2 excess will react to form methyl chloride, which is a volatile, somewhat toxic gas (its carcinogenic/mutagenic), which can simply be boiled out under vacuum, with argon sparging to remove any last traces, from the final product. The synthesis precursor SOCl2 is hard to get for most people, but it can be extracted from lithium-thionyl chloride cell batteries and distilled to purify it, so chlormethiazole if I wanted it for recreational use could me made as simple as vitamins, solvents, batteries and beer/wine making store supplies, although I'd just buy the SOCl2 from my suppliers. Or else, phosphorus trichloride could be used instead, and that made by chlorinating a suspension of phosphorus in an inert solvent like chloroform, then distilled to purify it, or from a solvent solution of white phosphorus too most likely, and I've got kilograms of red phosphorus, so not like I'm in any great shortage of elemental phosphorus.
So not worth my time to try and blag doctors for it if I did want to do that. I'd just whip myself up a batch. Only annoying step is the purification of the final product, although extraction of the freebase into dichloromethane and vacuum distillation does the job perfectly.
