And then on Wednesday, still on 1350, my level was 1.5. I spent an evening in emerg, they hooked me up to an IV, and when I left my level was 1.2.
I'm a little concerned that I'm still toxic, because for the past few days I've been nauseated, have had pretty severe joint pain (knees), and am currently in a lot of pain from gastric distress. At first I thought I was imagining it or thinking about it too much and scaring myself into it. But the joint pain and my current gastric pain are not regular occurrences. The gastric pain could be due to poor food choices. I'm getting my levels checked on Wednesday, but if this keeps up I might go to emerg myself before then.

I think you are handling this rationally and very level-headed. I wish you well!
