Well, I guess that was a complete failure. I just took a seroxat.
The symptoms today are beyond terrible. I barely got any sleep last night because of the sore throat. I was constantly aware of having to work really hard to swallow my saliva. My throat was dry and painful. I had the most vivid dreams, including a nightmare where I was being chased by a T-Rex.
P got home just after 9am and dashed out for some ibuprofen lozenges. They helped a little. When I got up, I rang work (as a patient, lol) and spoke to one of the nurses. She told me to try sleeping with my head up and use ibuprofen and paracetamol and drink lots of fluids.
I decided to go to sainsbury’s with P – big mistake. I felt nauseous in the car. But when I started walking around the store, the dreaded head zaps began with a vengeance.
From then onwards, every time I move my eyes or my head, I get this horrible “whooshy brain” sensation. That’s really the only way I can describe it – it’s as though all the fluid in my brain is swishing around and it’s terrifying.
Tomorrow, I’m going to get a pill-cutter and I’m gonna cut those little bastard pills down to size.
