I heard a story from a youtuber about how years ago they had a bad reaction to some E-Liquid and then afterwards their health was never the same again. I was wondering if other people have similar stories, not necessarily about E-Liquids but also other things that seem to have changed your health forever.
Thanks. Fortunately my recovery has been good and it 100% could’ve been worse. The mortality rate for Boerhaaves Syndrome (esophagus rupture) is pretty high for the first 48 hours. Then with the sepsis, I came pretty close to not making it a few times as well.
Even after everything I went through, the drop foot is the thing with the biggest day to day impact for me. And even that is the left foot so I’m still able to drive independently. And if the nerve doesn’t repair and the foot doesn’t recover, I’ve come to terms with it and I’ll get by.
And one positive actually came out of it. I’ve struggled with my weight my whole life and this episode caused me to lose about 180 pounds. I could almost argue that my overall health is actually a little better now than it was before all this.
