I've poisoned myself before with bleach (while cleaning when I first moved into this house) and that was no fun at all but what I did yesterday was just stupid. I've been carrying around a migraine the last couple of days. We ran out of Motrin yesterday and I went looking for something else so I wouldn't have to drive to the store. I found Tylenol 3s my husband had left over when he hurt his knee playing soccer during the Summer. I've taken Vicodin before for strep throat and surgery so I figured T3s would be ok. I took one with food (I'm not that dumb) and laid down. My headache was gone in only a few minutes but what followed what freakin awful!
First came the stomach ache that was so bad I was crying (and I don't cry for nothing) A little while later I felt sick so I crawled into the bathroom but was afraid to throw up because my stomach hurt so bad! I hung over the toilet a few minutes but I never did throw up. In the meantime my hearing was weird. Everything was muffled except for this loud buzzing sound in my ears. I was dizzy, close to passing out and my heart was racing so I laid down on the bathroom rug and my body felt like I was being stabbed with thousands of little needles. That lasted about a minute before the sweating came. Not just regular sweating....I was seriously sweating !
My eyes were all blurry as I laid there staring at the ceiling just waiting to pass out....but I didn't! Not this blonde! Passing out would've been too easy for me. My body wanted to make me suffer! But I did get some relief after a few minutes. I was cold from all the sweating and it felt really good with all the needles, stomach pain and buzzing going on! A while later I felt good enough to get up and go back to the sofa. Then the headache came back with a vengeance but I was good with the headache. That headache had nothing on what I just went through. My stomach continued to hurt for the rest of the day but not to the level it was before. Obviously I had a severe allergic reaction to whatever was in the T3...possibly the Codeine I'm actually pretty blessed nothing more serious happened especially being home alone.
Never take someone elses medicine! You never know what kind of reaction your body will have to just one ingredient in it.
I yi yi!
I think I almost killed myself yesterday
