What Could Be Worse?
So I went to my doctor with my tummy ache which is really freaking annoying and causing all sorts of problems. He finally gave me an anti-nausea medication. Now last night I said that I was willing to try anything even if it made all my hair fall out. Seriously this sucks, I can't eat, I can't not eat, I feel ill all the time, I can't sleep well. So I get the prescription and the list of side effects are interesting. Here it goes:
Possible are drowsiness, dizziness, nasal congestion, blurred vision, dry mouth, or constipation.
Hmmm. I could live with that. Take it at night, have a box of Kleenex and a glass of water nearby and eat more fruit. Oh, but that's just the stuff you don't have to ask your doctor about. Here comes the fun. Changes in vision, changes in breasts, changes in menstrual period, prolonged or painful erection, sore throat (oh, God, what kind of weird searches am I going to get with this stuff), inability to move eyes, muscle spasms of face, neck or back, difficulty swallowing, mask-like face, tremors of hands, restlessness, tension in legs, shuffling walk or stiff arms or legs, puffing of cheeks, lip smacking or puckering, twitching or twisting movements, or weakness of arms or legs. Yeah. Well, at least it doesn't cause nausea.
I did a little research on line and found out it can also be used for schizophrenia. But I like the voices in my head. :) Regardless, here's hoping that will calm down the symptoms and keep me okay until I can get in to see the specialist in 3 weeks. First opening they had between 2 doctors. If I still feel like this is three weeks, I might be begging for something with worse side effects than listed above.
(Really how many weird hits am I going to get by listing strange side effects. For those of you that know how to see what searches pull you up, e-mail me.)

Don't know if I ever mentioned about the google searches thing. If you look at the bottom of my blog, there's an icon for "sitemeter"...they have a snippet of code that you put in your blog template, and every time someone browses to your blog, they track it. They will show you where visitors are (I used to have lots from England...), how many visits per day, week, hour, etc. In a list of "page referrals", I find lots of links from Google, and when I click on them, it brings up the same search that someone had typed in. It's kind of freaky and cool to see how people find you :)
Of course, you have to want some third-party website monitoring traffic on your blog....if you had your own server you could probably do this yourself. Also, It doesn't have any way to track who might be reading your rss feed (via Google Reader or outlook or whatever), so you might have a lot more observers than you realize (or not!).
