Wildfire skin

I took a muscle relaxant and went to sleep. Three days later and I was struggling to breathe, my body was burning and my eyes were hurting. Skip another two days and I was put into a coma. I had many visions and dreams some real and others were my mind playing with me. Then skip a few weeks, I wake in familiar surrounding so I must have been conscious for short periods but had forgotten. I couldn't move, I couldn't talk but I could see. SJS had taken eight weeks of my life and a further few months to get onto my feet. I am now as recovered as can be and love life. I know my story is short but if I don't hold back this would be a long book. Thanks for reading.
