CdnExpat 49 Posted July 11, 2012 I had a headache tonight when I came home from a date with my husband. I don't get headaches very often, but when I do, they're bad. Took some codeine. BIG mistake.. I didn't think my stomach was empty. We'd eaten out, and I took the pill with some milk. Apparently, my stomach was empty and this is not a good thing with codeine. I am currently sitting on the sofa feeling lightheaded, sweating, with a pain in my stomach that is as bad as anything I had when I had gallstones. OMG! On the plus side, my headache is gone.

Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted July 12, 2012 I don't know what's worst, the HA pain or the nausea, sweats, etc. Hope it passes soon. 1 CdnExpat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CdnExpat 49 Posted July 12, 2012 I think I'm going to live. What an awful night! If it hadn't been for the info posted on VST, I would have gone to the hospital, thinking terrifying things about the integrity of the sleeve. Going to the hospital can be a bit of a nightmare all on its own, so I'm glad it wasn't necessary. Note to self... "The doctor gave you liquid paracetamol for reason. Duh." (Oh, to have remembered that before scarfing down a TEC3.) *sigh* Thanks for the empathy. CE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BKMama 179 Posted July 12, 2012 I hope you're feeling better. Codeine is not my friend either. I don't know how people get hooked to that stuff, it made me so, so ill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
