Not Quite Right..

[azekeil]

So I took my sleeping tablet like a good boy earlier this evening. Yesterday I mean. And then I woke up, and had been awake for ages. Fearing it to be nearly time to get up I looked at my clock and it was 2:45am. My throat has swollen right up, and I have flu-like aches. I was bitterly cold for most of the time I was trying to fall asleep, then when I woke up I felt like a radiator. I took some cold and flu tablets before I remembered I wasn't supposed to take anything with these sleeping pills. I'm not sure if it's the flu or the mixture of pills, but I'm feeling very off-balance; things aren't moving in the way I expect them. I keep finding myself having forgotten to breathe; at least that's what it feels like.

I've made myself a pot of tea (first ever!) and stuff. So I'm going to drink that and play games and try to ignore how I'm feeling.

That sounds like what Tianna and Jordan had/have got. I'm still not sure whether I've already had a milder version of it or whether I still have it to come. Bugger.

I suppose anyone we've had much contact with is going to be ill then? :(

Sounds like the same symptoms I had a while back.
You have The Lurggy.

It seems rather like what had me off work for a couple of days recently, so I think I'm safe at least. ;)

The brand name appears to be Stilnoct, the active ingredient appears to be 5mg Zolpidem tartrate. At least the name sounds vaguely entertaining, even if the symptoms they're supposed to treat aren't much fun.. :/

I would have thought only those that are particularly run down..

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

Yes. Obviously infinitely worse than 'WomanFlu'.

Hope so. When I can speak normally without feeling like I want to throw up I'll try to call Eugene again.

Bah. I only get 10 paid sick days per year, and this will be my second so far I think. I liked my old company's policy which allowed up to 3 months or thereabouts I think.

Hope so :/

Hope so *disinfected hugs back* :)

Will work on getting permission to post some of the photos. I think they are worth posting *grin*

Stilnoct is ace! Kate and I have been using it (and abusing) it for some time. We've never noticed any of the side effects you mentioned. You may want to search under its American name - Ambien!

*yay* *bounce bounce* I look forward to photos :)
