Interesting, I had a similar reaction (and also have a strong son and friend to get me in the house). My speech would become slurred and my hands looked like I had palsy for 4-5 hours. I did a bit of research and did find a case or two of people who had low potassium going into the treatment and had the same reaction. I ended up loading up on potassium pre-treatment. The reaction didn't go away but it improved a little.

It was very scary. They thought it was in my mind but I couldn’t breath and so they gave my a shot of epinephrine and it cleared within seconds. Just too hypersensitive to everything I guess.
