My body has become very sensitive to everything lately (even eating cherry ice will leave my tongue abnormally bright red for a long time. Just an example.
So abg showed my carboxyhemoglobin levels extremely high at 3.54 (normal range is 0-8%) My automated differential, if that matters, was 0.8% which is the highest before becoming considered abnormal.
And of course, after research, have every sx in time order, including flu feeling when first becoming very ill and kidney failure
What do I do? Why do drs not help even I'm clearly dying. Because of the automated differential? So confused. And feel like I'm dying. Having many minor heart attacks again also.

I had extreme carbon monixide poisening when i was young ..they put me in a hyperbaric chamber for a bit ..we recoverwd pretty quik..
but i temember not being able to move my muscles and feeling like i could not think ..kinda like now.
hk docs are only good if they can cut it out or prescibe it away...not so in our case ...can you tolerate emf ? Consider a rife machine and mhbot ..charge it pay ot back when you are well...
Just ideas ...there is a inhaled form of aldosterone from hong kong i found ...how is your bp?...no doubt kidneys and adrenals are affected.
it is not reality it is a bad dream merrily merrily merrily...your heart is of utmost importance ...you only have one ...my buddy lived on dialysis at 30 til his brother gave him a kidney i swore mine were broken with crystallized matter from sulfa drug ..
He said he ciuld do a biopsy but that surly would mess it up or infect it further ...prayers are with you hk

First, have you identified and removed the source of the carbon monoxide poisoning? If you need help with that, please let me know.
Treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning is oxygen- either in a chamber as bluelyme used, or delivered by face mask.
If you have a local doctor see if they will order an O2 tank for you to use at home. Or, do sports bars still have O2? Seems I heard they sometimes do that?
You mentioned, and it might just be a coincidence, you have a bright red tongue when eating cherry ice. Yes, cherry ice can cause anyone to have a bright red tongue and lips too, but...
So can carbon monoxide poisoning (without the cherry ice).
One of the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning is having "cherry red" lips/tongue, nail beds and even pink to red skin sometimes. It isn't as common as some of the other symptoms, but it does happen.
Please be sure you aren't confusing the two reasons for the red tongue/lips and you are removed from the source of the poisoning.
If you are unsure if you still are being exposed, your local fire departments- NOT the gas company (they lie and/or their monitors suck)- have GOOD monitors and they can check it for you.
They do that here, no charge, but check around to see if your local fire companies do it.
Hope you are doing better soon!

Also spo2 level (02 in body) very low also at 70

And yes, minus the extreme sensitivities my body has now aquired to everything, there was a time (I'll never forget because my skin has always been very strong, sort to speak - never an eye infection (even after wearing contacts for months at a time, putting in unclean ones ect, never a pimple growing up, a rash, herpes, nothing. Then all of a sudden I woke up one morning last summer w blood shot eyes, BRIGHT cherry tongue, n I forget what else. This was back last summer though when my sx became really bad. I just don't know what to do. I was just put on augmentin and pred for suspected auto immune disease. I have every sx and again this flair is much worse than last w proven severe abnormalities in every organ (liver n heart back last year, and now lung and kidney w mini heart attacks) Posted by HK (Member # 45290) on :
I do see a pulmonogist. Do you think I can get him to put me through hyperbaric tx. I'm pretty sure my insurance covers it with a very warranted valid reason. And I will ask about the o2 tank

N what I meant my cherry ice staining my tongue now...I mean staining. It takes hours of brushing tongue and scrubbing lips to get it off

Hey. A couple questions and feedback.
I did research how to interpret my ABG bUT are there maybe any so called'lab rats' /drs / anyone who can help me better understand/decipher these results. Because I'm not 100% sure how to decipher the co (carboxyhemoglobin) 100% correctly. I'm pretty sure I am but not positive.
If so I will post a copy of the ABG results. Thank you
Tincup - No source identified yet, but I am ultra sensitive to everything (ice staining on tongue example) The ULTRA bright cherry red lips/tongue (mostly) and eyes all happened last summer which had no known cause.
Really just call the fire dept n they'll come and check? Thanks for input

Blue oh wow do we have/had all similar symptoms.
What were your sx? How did they dx you? Yes in the past month I cannot think for the life of me, or move muscles. It's like I'm paralyzed. Plus stuck, fluish, and all the norm.
Thanks for sharing. How will I be dxed now ?

And what do you/ drs trust more. The regular tests. Or the automated differential?
