If this is tripping, burn my suitcase cuz I don't wanna go.

Hey Gumby, some support for cold medicine trips- or rather unexpected trip in general. I wasn't gonna mention this on the newsgroup cuz it's kinda public y'know. ;-)

Over-the-counter medicines never did anything weird to me except for Benedryl which used to give me nosebleeds as a youngin' when I took 2 teaspoonfulls. BUT some of this weird stuff the docs have given me for other reasons (you still read ablog right?), well, this is for you and for anyone else who reads this blog- rhblog:

When I went to the emergency room cuz of a bad hemi-plegic migraine, they gave me dope. Now, a hemi-plegic migraine means you can't move and you can't feel anything. Now, the parts of me that *could* still feel stuff at that time, started going limp and numb on me to the point where I couldn't feel them. In other words, on the one hand I've got a hemi-plegic migraine which won't let me move, and this dope in my veins which won't let me move either. :-P

Then the real fun began: I started to itch. Do I really need to tell you what it was like to have your entire circulatory system itch like the bloody hell it is and not be able to scratch any of it?

If that's tripping, then someone please burn my suitcases cuz I don't wanna go.

So the second time I went to the emergency room because of a bad hemi-plegic migraine (about 2 or 3 days later) they gave me the dope again. When I started to itch, they gave me Benedryl. Now, while I didn't get any nosebleeds, it did counteract the dope. Now I ask you: if dope is supposed to help with hemi-plegic migraines (which it sure as f*cking hell DOESN'T) and Benedryl counteracts dope...okay do I really need to ask that one? :-P

Then there's the matter of Xanax. You remember Xanax right? "Attention K-Mart shoppers! Snowshovels are on sale for $12.95. Mayday mayday mayday..." Well, just last month, my neurologist perscribed Xanax for me because he thinks that some of my seizures are actually due to me being too tense. Me? Uptight? Anybody who reads me on RASSM is probably busting out laughing right now, but I tell ya I'm tighter than anyone's ass could ever be no matter how many times they've talked to Richard Simmons. Okay so I'm slightly exaggerating, but you get the point. So, I go on Xanax and I'm drunk as a skunk for over a week. I mean, I'm talking fall down drunk who can't think straight and laughs his ass off at every little single thing.

Real pleasant isn't it? Yes, I was quite the character (aka "nice person") for that drunken week. I'm still on the stuff, but at half the dose. And I'm still a little wacked out on it. 6 Days 7 Nights wasn't too far off the mark on that stuff either. I also think my RASSM influences started to show. I'm getting influenced quite badly by Jade and Drake I think. Yeah, "oh shit!" For instance: tonight I'm watching Crimson Tide and the guy says: "...and if privacy doesn't permit, you bite your fucking tongue."

Now, normal me would say and think: "Yeah man, do as he says and shut up."

But me on Xanax at half the dose thought: "Gee, I didn't know his tongue fucked. <snickery perverted grin and near-evil laugh ...uh...'cackle'>"

If I had watched this at the full dose that I was on for that first week...well...it would be unprintable.

I also wouldn't shut the fuck up all week either. I was SO talky! I wouldn't shut up and I was LOUD too! And majorly potty-mouthed too! I was making SAILORS blush fer cryin' out loud! I mean, in real normal life, I'm a quiet and relatively polite (as in not too potty) talker, but DAMN, y'know? But then again, I'm pretty talky and don't always shut the fuck up online either anyway now do I? C'mon, be honest. Ain't this blogpost long enough for ya? ;-)

Anyway, that's that.

Feeling better about your cold medicine now DG? ;-D I sure hope you do...feel better that is. Okay shutting up now.
