SN goes wrong - what are potential consequences of failure? Is the brain damage from lack of oxygen possible?

As above, Im a bit scared it's not gonna kill me but leave my parents with permanent problem.

I've read it's reversible with methylene blue. I may be wrong. I've read so much but it's all running together now. Not sure of the long term issues you may get from it overall though.
I always question medical reports that say the patient recovered fine from anything. They don't seem to ask weeks or months later. Just the standard medical discharge which doesn't mean much IMe.

Several people on these forums have tried SN and failed, only to be given methylene blue. SN is not my method, but compared to other methods it seems if you are given methylene blue in time, there is no long term damage.

The issue boils down to WHEN you are given the antidote. SN works by depriving the brain of oxygen. After about 3 minutes of no oxygen to the brain, damage sets in, and the longer it remains that way, there is a high possibility that you end up as a vegetable with severe brain and organ damage.

People who have taken SN, then panic and call emergency services, usually end up ok. But if you lose consciousness, and let's say someone finds you 15 minutes later, that would be an incredibly risky situation, as organ and brain damage will already be apparent.

Whatever you do, I hope you find some peace.

This is what scares me if I ever have to CTB. No matter what method I were to choose there's always the rain of either living and enduring brain damage or suffering and lingering in the process of CTB. I wish there were a method without any of those risks.

Me too.

There was a news story floating around here a few months ago about a guy who attempted to hang himself from a tree, which he was able to do. However 10 or 15 minutes in to it just by random luck a police officer was driving by and saw him. Obviously cut him down and took him to the hospital. He ended up surviving but with severe brain damage. He needed 24 hour care after that and for whatever reason his family kept him alive instead of pulling the plug. He lived for another 2 years like that until he died on his own. Not positive but I believe it was a lung infection that did him in.

This, more than anything is my biggest fear.

police were so fucking evil to do that to that person who clearly did not want to be kept alive and tortured
