My name is Anne and I have come here to try to get help regarding Ephedrine. I am a mother of four children and I am 50 yrs. old. I have been living with a illness that has caused me multiple complications with my health. I was 25 yrs. old when I took Halcion for 1/2 yr. from my ex-husband which was been prescribed for him and he didn't want them so I took them to relax me. I was tired of not having any energy on these drugs. I went to work one day and came home and took a Ephedrine pill 50 mg which my sister gave me where she purchased them from the States. Within 20 minutes of ingesting this pill I had lost oxygen within my brain region for a matter of seconds "flight and fight" and than I felt like a voltage sensation occurring immediately. I tried multiple medications but none helped to alleviate these symptoms. It was non-stop even in my sleep it interfered. I have attached my letter in full what has happened to me in detail and also put an article on Ephedrine. I have come to this site in hopes that anyone who has had any problems with their Dysautonomic and Autonomic Nervous System like me. I am having problems in the brain region now on a daily basis and I am trying to get any information or knowledge or medical issues proving what has happened to me. Any suggestions or what could have happened to me would be greatly appreciated. I am desperately looking for answers. I am going before a committee for Ohip Coverage to try to get to the Cleveland Ohio Clinic for help but the government here in Ontario don't want to pay for this trip. I am presently on disabitility for my condition and I do not have the funding for this trip. I am getting sicker by the day and I have lost to date 75 lbs. in total within very little time even though I am eating. Doctors up here are throwing me around and passing the bucket and no one is helping me. Any help would be greatly appreciated from me and the children Thanks Anne
