For a while now I've been thinking about using SN DSMO.
I've been informed that DSMO is a neurotoxin.
I can, hypothetically, use just SN, but that requires an antiemetic regimen, which may impact my regular meds. There's also the fact SN itself may react unexpectedly to my meds. Keppra and Vimpat are one hell of a ride - I can't have even soy sauce because it has a TINY amount of alcohol.
Plan B would be nitrogen. The issue is, however, is that the tank hisses. The tsssssssss would drive me nuts and might seriously throw me into a seizure. Also, nitrogen is heavier than air (ever so slightly), so plain ol head bag might not work. I'm thinking of getting a tank or two, a small tent, and going that way to recycle the nitrogen from the head bag or skip the head bag altogether.
Again, the problem: hissing. I'm pondering getting a liquid nitrogen "bucket", opening it up inside the tent. The sound of bubbling water feels nicer, almost like a massage.
Issue #2: liquid nitrogen is cold. Very cold. It might freeze the tent.
Imagine money is not an issue - I got some loans approved for medical stuff which might fail and therefore force me into CTB.
What would be a decent way to either quiet down the hissing from the tank, or make liquid nitrogen not flash freeze the tent? I'm currently thinking of putting the liquid nitrogen bucket in a wooden box of sorts and have it let the "steam" out into my (currently) hypothetical tent.
Is liquid nitrogen actually JUST very cold nitrogen or is there some other stuff in there as well that could make it less than optimal compared to an actual nitrogen tank?
To be clear: right now I'm just throwing the two ideas around, trying to look at them from different perspectives, which is why I'm being a wee bit stupid, half joking half serious. Serious discoveries were made by people just fucking around. I do hope for the surgery to work, but... it can fail... and if that happens I want to be ready.
