I have had two abortions in the past 3 years. The last one I had at 11 weeks, I went to a different clinic. The first one I had gone to gave me the gas, which was fine. The second clinic gave me a valium injection. This was absolutely horrible. As she was injecting the stuff into my arm, my arm started to get extremely cold, and in 5 minutes, my entire body was ice cold. I was more uncomfortable than I would have been without the injection. I could not stop shaking, my legs were shaking so bad the nurses pratically had to hold me down. I couldn't breathe well because of the chattering, and my blood pressure dropped. After it was done, they put me in the recovery room, where I continued to freeze for the following twenty minutes. It was absolutely awful. The other girls around me seemed ok, but I wasn't. I was on methadone at the time of the surgery, could this have caused the coldness? I can't find anything on the internet about being cold after an injection. There might have been another drug combined with the valium, but i'm unsure of what it is. I told them I was on methadone, so I assume the coldness was normal, but it make me more uncomfortable than if I had no injection at all. The pain was awful, and I was cold on the inside. Could you tell me what caused this and why? I'm interested because it just didn't seem right to me. I felt like I was about to die during the surgery. Thanks for your help!
