The not happy thread

I am feeling better now. Still itchy, but no where near as bad as earlier today. I'm never taking pain relief again!!! EVER!!! If I can survive childbirth without it, then I shouldn't need it for anything else.

 

I'm getting more and more nervous listening to the feedback lectures before I get my Equity and EU essays back. She isn't even going over the question I did yet, and I'm still anxious that I'm one of the 6 people who failed.

 

It's funny you should say that about unexpected side effects Torana.

I always thought pain relief medication was a safe bet until recently when I had a chest infection. I took so many Ibuprofen (anti inflammatory/NSAIDs) that I got pretty bad ringing in my ears. It drove me to the brink of my sanity but I realised when I quit the painkillers (they weren't doing much good anyway) that it was causing the tinnitus. It said on the pack that 1-3% of people get hearing disturbances. Given that Ibuprofen is a very common pain relief medication, that's a lot of people!

I'm extremely cautious of any medication now. You're right, take absolutely nothing unless it's the last resort.

And congratulations for giving birth without pain relief. I have no personal experience myself but to me that seems highly unusual and commendable!

 

My AP test is today!!!!!!!

 

Good luck, twin!!! I hope you do (did?) well on it!

 

thanks gi

I think I did fairly well on that, but I'm not really thinking about it because a) if I did badly I can't actually do anything about it now and more importantly b) I'm just so damn relieved it's over that I'm in way to good of a mood to care what I actually got lol

 

I'm glad!! Enjoy the relief of getting it done; I know the feeling!

 

My grandmother was taking ibuprofen and she even tried brufen after her car accident, she ended up having chest pains all the time and died 3 months later on her own, in her room. I never recommend anyone taking Ibuprofen. If things cause so many side effects, they should either stop selling them, or try to sort the problem out. 1-3% is a pretty high percentage imo. Mind you, the tablets weren't the cause of her death, they have no idea what the cause of her death was. But we do believe that the pills were what was giving her the chest pain, even the doctor believed that.

Thank you. Childbirth is an easy pain to deal with, you just have to breath through it and concentrate on the breathing rather than thinking about the actually pain of the contractions. Which isn't easy to do. But no, I will never take pain meds again, I'll just find another way of dealing with my pain. Yoga might help, I'll try that first.

 

My hayfever is so bad. Eyes are stinging, nose and ears are blocked. I'm tired and just want to stay in bed, alas, I have work in an hour. This is the fifth day of work this week. I'm doing as many hours as some of the full time workers. Eh. /End complaint.

 

Ouch, that really sounds bad, Zoe. My sister also gets it, but definitely not as bad as you... Too bad you have to go work. I hope you feel better soon! *hugs*

 

I am so annoyed. Yesterday I specificlly got credit for my phone so that I could ask my friend if I could get a lift with her to drama today and next week. She didn't answer. I don't know if this is because she ran out of credit/free texts or what, but the text defiently sent and there are other ways of replying. Anyway, I knew she was going to drama because she had told me, so I got ready since I didn't know if I was getting a lift with her or not. She didn't come; it wouldn't have killed her to reply to my message though and tell me.

-End of rant!

What is a AP test? (Can't be bothered to use Google!)

That sounds horrible. I hope it gets better soon.

 

First off, AP stands for Advanced Placement. They are low-level colleges courses that are taken in high school and can count as some college credit at some colleges is you pass the AP Test. This test is like a semi-awful college test.

And second off, I really hate when people do that. End up sitting there trying to figure out what's going on and worrying (if only slightly) about it, only to find out later that it was just some whatever drama thing that no one cares about now. The common courtesy of at least texting one simple message back seems to be just too difficult. =/

 

I'm not happy because I'd want to reread all I have to know tonight but I'm having paaaainful cramps because of you-know-what-time and all I can think at the moment is "ouch". I really hope I'll feel better a bit cause it's hard to concentrate this way.

 

I just checked my phone and I got a message from her at...18:50 - over eight hours after drama.

Apparently she didn't go but I'm not sure that I belive her:
a) because she said she was defiently going when I asked her during the week
b) this is not the first time that she has said she was going and then said she wasn't/didn't; it has happened several times now - otherwise I would be more inclined to believer her

Lydia - hope the pain doesn't last too long.

 

Ronnie James Dio died.

 

That crap just annoys the hell out of me. Maybe it's just me being a guy, but I really don't have much tolerance for drama, even though it surrounds me everyday. It gets a little tiring, ya know?

Eight hours...I'm actually surprised you got a message back at all considering that length of time...=/

 

It's not just a guy thing. After 2 1/2 years of being in the middle of high school drama all the time, I've given it up and now live a wonderful, marvelously drama-free life.

 

Damn. He was never my favorite singer but stomach cancer is a ****ty way to go.

 

I guess drama's not for everyone.

I like it though; I'm taking it for my GCSE. Only problem is, all the other girls in my class happen to be friends and I feel awkward around them. When I try and join in, they don't always accept my efforts and the damn teacher thinks I'm not trying. Hence that I go to drama on Sunday mornings; strangely, I find it eaiser to act with a bunch of people I've known less than a month opposed to a bunch of people I've known four years.

 

It turns out that way though. I feel much more comfortable with something like that, and also public speaking, if I'm not real personally connected with the people. Glad you can enjoy drama though, something I never have been able to, let alone take a class related to it. More power to ya for that haha. I guess I'm a little to grumpy for that. =/

 

ended up in an argument today with a service assistant today at our local clothing store, all because I went in there after beanies for Tobin and they presented me with a rack of girls beanies, and NO boys beanies. Do they NOT realise that women do have baby boys? Are they really THAT idiotic? AAAAAAAAARGH! I almost got kicked out of the store. I ended up going back to the 'novelty' shop I got Tobin's first beanie from to get him 3 more. Quite sad that I have to go to a novelty shop instead of a clothing shop to buy beanies for my son.

 

At least you got some beanies in the end although it does seem idiotic - I fear that we live in a world where stupidity is on the rise!

 

I would make you beanies. . . .

 

I've got a history exam tomorrow.

Not. Prepared. At. All.

 

I told my manager about moving to Vegas in August (yeah...two and a half month's notice, on top of telling him way back in November-ish that this would probably be happening), and right after that he started acting all weird. Then one of the associates who has been at this store for several years told me that our manager has a tendency to find ways to prevent transfers for associates that he wants to keep at his store...like suddenly finding a reason to write them up, since associates with recent write-ups can't transfer. Now I'm worried that he's going to find a bogus reason to write me up so I won't be able to transfer to Vegas...wonderful.
