Diary entry forty six The hilarity of this life of mine continues. (March 16th) I'm quite scarily ill, and I have been for the last two weeks. These are my symptoms: headache dizziness or light-headedness flushing (feeling of warmth) heartburn fast heartbeat slow heartbeat upset stomach stomach pain constipation depression, feeling low, or the 'blues' unusual bruising or bleeding So we went to the doctors and he prescribed me some pills called Nimodipine. I did some research. Nimodipine is normally used to cure people with brain haemorrhages- which I'm pretty sure I don't have. It can also be used to cure migraines. Doctors never listen to me. Neither do hairdressers, but that's different. The conversation was kind of like this. Doctor: What's wrong then? Liam: I've just been feeling dizzy now for about 2 weeks. I keep seeing starseven when I'm just sitting about doing nothing. Doctor: But no pain? Liam: No, I am in no pain whatsoever. Doctor: Ok, well I'm going to prescribe you some painkillers then. Next! So yeah, he prescribed me Nimodipine. Let's have a look at the side effects of Nimodipine: headache dizziness or light-headedness flushing (feeling of warmth) heartburn fast heartbeat slow heartbeat upset stomach stomach pain constipation depression, feeling low, or the 'blues' unusual bruising or bleeding GEE THANKS DOC, nice way to kick me while I'm down. Should I take them or not? It says that they're used to cure brain hemmorages, which to be honest I don't think that I have had, not that I'm a doctor. If I was a doctor and I had somebody complain about these things, I would say 'Whatever you do, stay away from drugs that give you your symptoms. That would be crazy!"
