I was in the middle of writing a blog post on how I feel like crap, and have for a few hours now. It's been SO weird. I was just talking to skeeve, who was trying to help me figure out what could cause the symptoms I had. I felt anxious, I've been trembling, stressed, and unable to sleep well for a few days now.

While I was participating in a round of "Dr. skeeve, M.D.", a friend of mine asked about a new medication I'd recently started taking. See, I've had this cough for a few weeks. Nothing major, just an annoying dry cough. I went to the doc on Wednesday, and he prescribed a Salbutamol Inhaler. I looked up some info on the stuff, and found this off my first Google hit:

Side effects
Medicines and their possible side effects can affect individual people in different ways. The following are some of the side effects that are known to be associated with this medicine. Because a side effect is stated here, it does not mean that all people using this medicine will experience that or any side effect.


  • Faster than normal heart beat (tachycardia)

  • Unexpected narrowing of the airways (paradoxical bronchospasm)

  • Low blood potassium level (hypokalaemia)

  • Shaking, usually of the hands (tremor)

  • Anxiety and restlessness

  • Headache

  • Awareness of your heart beat (heart palpitations)


------------------------------------------------------------------

Sound familiar? I thought so too. Turns out the cough meds were generating more problems. Add to this the fact that I was coughing a fair bit today and took a few doses. I'm still not 100% recovered from any of this, but at least now I know what the hell is wrong, and it'll pass.

I owe khoos and mydogfarted an appology. I was in less than stellar shape when they came by to visit today.

*puts inhaler away*

I'd rather live with the cough than have another day like today, thank you.

EDIT:

24 hours later, and this crap is almost all out of my system. *deep breath*. Hopefully the rest of the anxiety will wear off, and that will put a cork in my jerkass-ness for a good while

Dude, if that is you being a little "off", then we are going to be awesome friends because I didn't notice or care.
