My head feels like a taxidermist gutted it.
The medicine cocktail my doctor gave me pretty much screwed up my head. I stopped taking the medication days ago but periodically feel a flash-back. He told me it normally takes 7 days for this medicine to leave the human body. When I take the medication, I can feel it within 20 to 30 minutes. But to get rid of it takes 7 days?
I am not a pill-popper. It has literally been years since prescription medication entered my mouth. Oh yes, I succumb to the marketing of Theraflu and sometimes Nyquil to provide me with some sleeping assistance. But only when a HazMat Level 5 flu-virus invades my body.
Tuesday night was a medicine relapse. Upon entering my sweatbox home, immediately I knew trouble was lurking. At first I thought it was malaria, with all the chills and hot flashes. Crushing headaches, slight fever and loss of appetite. The exact same reaction as to when I watch Roachel Ray.
Maybe I was experiencing detoxification.
My prescriptions were large enough for my bathroom to be reclassified as a pharmacy. The street value of the valium, vicodin and mibotin remaining could easily make my mortgage payments for the next few months. This is LA after all; 90% of the population is on something.
Fortunately three trips to the chiropractor has lifted all my back pain. Some people pooh-pooh chiropractors, describing them as nothing more than witch-doctors. My guy doesn’t wear white face paint, so the witch-doctor analogy is not true. But a few adjustments, and enough “snap crackle pops” from my spine, and I’m back to normal.
This weekend is a traveling weekend. It’s time for the annual family reunion. Hopefully the rest of my ‘detox’ will take place in the exotic state of Michigan. Monday my flight returns and then the work begins on prepping Property#1 for the new tenants arrival.
No blog for Monday.
Have a great weekend!
