Carbon monoxide poisoning
Physical, mental, behavioral symptoms and effects

Long term effects from carbon monoxide poisoning may include:

• A continuation of short term physical, mental, emotional and behavioral, and social symptoms and effects with a trend to [slow] improvement over time
  
  
• The potential for "permanent" ongoing effects
  
  
• Symptoms and effects that surface and subside depending on physical, mental, or emotional stress; and other factors
  

Who is impacted by long term effects:

• 50% of survivors with serious carbon monoxide poisoning will experience/suffer from ongoing long term symptoms and effects
  
  
• Even more survivors may experience/suffer from [subtle] symptoms and effects that they do not recognize as being related to poisoning
  
  
• Carbon monoxide poisoning statistics are highly unreliable
  
  

From the mouths of carbon monoxide poisoning survivors:

• It feels like my life as I knew it is gone
  
  
• I just don't have energy to do things
  
  
• Nobody seems to understand what I am going through
  
  
• I feel so up and down
  
  
• I feel alone
  
  
• This has been the most isolating experience of my life
  
  
• Not a day goes by where I don't think about my poisoning
  
  
• I have a lot of bad days
  
  
• My doctors just don't seem to know much
  
  
• I feel sentenced to a life where things are so much more difficult than they used to be
  
  
• I am starting to lose hope
  
  
• Will I ever get better?
  
  
• I feel so trapped by a brain that won't work properly
  
  
• I just can't function like I used to
  
  
• I feel like I have a handicap no one can see
  
  
• I wish I knew what to do to feel better

Crazy head

Susie from Hereford,Tx

I was poisoned at work.I don't really know how many months.My bloodpressure went crazy along with dizzy head,headaches,upset stomach,thought I was going to pass out.But I had to work.One day I thought I felt a little better at home,but I am at work more then home.Then one day they came in at work to work on the heater.That is when I learned what was wrong with me.They said the building was full of carbon-monoxide.Get doors up now!I went to my heart doctor before I knew but he could not figure it out.Doctors just look at you when you tell them.I don't think I will very feel right again.This happen to me about 4 yrs ago
but I still have problems with dizziness and lightheadness.I wished I could find someone that could help me.

wondering

karie from wi

can carbonmonixide cause copd as well as contribute to things like add or adhd

North

I was working with a concrete cutter inside a garage and a hallway, had a lot of breaks and things like that, but in the end of the day i had a bad headache. So i stopped, and took it chill, the headache was gone like 1 hour after, and i was just a little croggy.

So didnt experienced anything more effects for like 2 years, but when i started reading about Co poison, i started getting anixiety,depression , headache + had have now for 1 year , a very bad feeling in my throat.

Have also done MRI test, and nothing there, Can you see on a MRI test if there is anything damage regarding Co poisoning ?

Have also surfed a lot on the internet and looks like omega 3 krill oil helps the brain repairing itself. So i am on a hardcore krill oil diet.
