HELP! My Medication Wants To Kill Me

-

 PROPAIN PLUS TABLETS

I get severe headaches, migraines. So bad that I need to take something for it cause if I don’t I have visions of my brain cracking open and my brain spilling out. So to avoid this I take a not so powerful narcotic… which I run the risk of becoming addicted to I take half the prescribed dosage.

This medication is a combination of a narcotic (hydrocodone) and a non-narcotic (acetaminophen) used to relieve moderate to severe pain. Hydrocodone works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, and acetaminophen decreases the formation of prostaglandins, therefore relieving pain. This medication may also be used to suppress a cough.

I bet you didn’t know that I knew such big words huh, I don’t. They make no sense to me, but they sound nice and ominous hey?

I digress.

I was pleased as punch to have discovered Propain, till I read the list of side effects.

·         it may cause serious (possibly fatal) liver disease
·         Nausea,
·          vomiting,
·         constipation,
·          lightheadedness, dizziness, drowsiness,
·         vision changes, wait is that a rainbow
·         or mental/mood changes may occur
·         rash, itching, swelling
·          Insomnia, this I have, my mother has nicknamed me the neighbourhood Batman, when the sun goes down my ears perk up and I hear all things. Sleep is not my friend.
·         right at the bottom in fine print, they listed * cue sinister music* severe headaches







This medication that is meant to stop a head explosion is going to kill me. I think it’s time I started using Chinese medicine, because that list has turned me into a hypochondriac. I have been getting dizzy of late but I suspect the reason for that are the cartwheels I do so much.


And my liver hurts, but because I am not sure which side it is on a different side hurts everyday. Not forgetting the 'flash' migraines I get every other day. Never mind that they are ice pick headaches that I get every month just before my periods.



I should quit the drug altogether though because pretty soon I wont be able to stop! eek, addict alert!
My precious Propain, ooooooo my precious!

    U SHOULD QUITE THIS DRUG WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT. TAKING HALF THE STIPULATED DOSAGE CAN BE WILY AS THA CAN ACCUMMUTE TO AN EXTENT THAT IT CAN BE TATAMOUNT A FULL DOSAGE THROUGH ADDICTION VISA VIS TO THE PERSON WHO HAS ABSTAINED FROM IT.THERE IS ONLY ONE DRUG THAT I RECOMMEND U.THE DRUG IS CALLED"LOVE"(YOUR FIANCE)

    you make me sound like I should become a hippie, rainbows and sunshine will not cure me. but there is a little Chinese man who lives down the street, he has so many green packages of herbs that I suspect somewhere in that compost heap lies the cure.

    Yeah, the meds will cure whatever is ailing you now, just to give you other issues you weren't having beforehand. BOOO. No more cartwheels.

Eight Things I Will Never Apologise For!

1.           THINKING THAT ZIMBABWEAN MEN WHO GET RAPED ASKED FOR IT. Glad I got that one off my chest, and it’s true. Drive down any highway, Main Street, under any bridge, walk through any forest, go behind any building and you are bound to see at least 5 men urinating. You think the world is your urinal, whipping out your junk every opportunity you get and expect to get away with it. Just as you justify raping a child, woman, girl, baby. I to would justify raping any man who so carelessly displays his wares. If you don’t want it then keep your junk in your pants! 2.           HATING SOMETHING EVERYONE ELSE LOVES Let’s see, that would be puppies, cats, corn flakes, that stupid series 24 which translates to a total disregard of that famed agent Jack Bauer. Following that I hate crowds and small talk, yes even if you are my friend, either get to the poi...

How To Get Your New Man To Throw You A Party On The First Date

                                It's quite an accomplishment to get a woman to go out with you, it is quite an accomplishment to get the lady to love you. With that in mind ladies when you start dating a guy you deserve a party for being so pretty/awesome/having such beautiful hands/fine skin/lovely eyes/ such a throaty voice. All of that should be celebrated, so when he starts a conversation, here's how it should go. “So what do you want to do? Movie? Dinner?” You should answer, “How about a party…for me?” “A party?” “Yeah, it will be a good chance for me to meet your friends and for you to meet my friends.” “A party?” “It doesn’t have to be a big party…although that’s what I would prefer. It could just be at your place with a few friends and drinks.” “Okay.” “And then after drinks we all ride in a limo to the ballroom you rented and meet the other two hundred guests. It could be ...

Why You Should Get Married Before 21 :)

If you are me, explaining ceaselessly to your 6 year old sister why you aren’t married is tedious. Being cross examined by a 6 and 12 year old is slightly worse. “V how old are you.” (Mumbles appropriate age) “How old is cousin V?”  (Not to be confused with V me) I mumble a number which makes her 2years younger. It takes N about an hour to figure this out. Large numbers are still a bit of a problem for her. “But she’s having a baby, why aren’t you?” “Well…” I struggle to find a response, 6year olds are robotically engineered and any question is most likely a double entendre. “You see,” I continue in my best grown up voice, “she is married and I am not.” Big N who is beginning to understand life a little better pipes in, “But you are sooooo old when are you getting married? I am telling you, by this time next year all the boys will see you as an old maid.” “But you have a boyfriend; doesn’t he want to marry you?” N whines “You s...
