Dizzy. DIZZY.

[cjsmith]

I forget the name of this medication (rfrench...?) but it's got warnings about dizziness.

I just took it for the first time, with lunch because "with food" was recommended.

THEY ARE NOT KIDDING AROUND ABOUT DIZZINESS. Woooooo. I'm really not quite sure which way is up right now. Well, I can sort of deduce it by which way the edges of tbe windows line up on my monitor, but thinking too hard about that makes my stomach begin sending Locate-A-Bucket warnings. Then I keep very very still for a few moments and the warnings fade. Turning my head to the left or right gives a spate of urgent Locate-A-Bucket warnings. Tilting my head left or right gives just a couple. Closing my eyes is awful.

Whee. And this is time-release for eight to twelve hours. I am gonna have a very interesting commute home. It might very well involve someone else as driver!

Ick. I hope I never have to take that medicine. I'm glad to hear you are feeling better, though.

Thanks! This one was quite the, um, eye-opener. :-)

That doesn't sound fun at all. Especially since once you've taken it, you can't do much expect wait it out. :( I hope it was at least slightly better than whatever you took the medicine for in the first place.

Yep, I just waited it out. I briefly thought of trying to induce vomiting, but the stuff was already in my bloodstream, so with no real knowledge of how much was where by that time I just plunked myself on the floor and waited until it stopped moving. :-)

The medicine was for the inflammation in my feet. It didn't even dull the pain. At least that makes my decisions easy! No more of THAT going into my mouth!

That was probably the best way to handle it, but annoying. I've heard you mention your feet a few times, but wasn't sure what the whole story was. And I'm not particularly asking, since I suppose I'll find our eventually if it's something you talk about. :) But at least you can move on to something else now, that might work.

Yes, definitely annoying! At least it was very short-term.

The foot saga's hopefully almost over. I had Morton's neuroma (four of 'em) and got them killed. The residual inflammation was supposed to be gone a month ago. So, anti-inflams. [fingers crossed.]

Ah, I see. I am happy to hear it is something that has an end in sight. :)
