I.
i suffered a sharps stick from a broken contaminated vacutainer on the 25th. the good news, it was on intact skin. the bad news, it broke the skin and caused bleeding. the worse news, it was an unknown patient. great. so now i have to take these anti-virals in order to make sure i dont get hiv, aids, or hepatitis. I'm taking
Viracept,
Combivir, and
Compazine. i feel like tom hanks in Philidelphia.
apparently the Viracept and Combivir will give me nausea diarrhea and vomiting, so im taking the Compazine to not feel so sick. BUT THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE COMPAZINE ARE:
Abnormal muscle rigidity, abnormal secretion of milk, abnormal sugar in urine, abnormalities of posture and movement, agitation, anemia, appetite changes, asthma, blurred vision, breast development in males, chewing movements, constipation, convulsions, difficulty swallowing, discolored skin tone, dizziness, drooling, drowsiness, dry mouth, ejaculation problems, exaggerated reflexes, fever, fluid retention, head arched backward, headache, heart attack, heels bent back on legs, high or low blood sugar, hives, impotence, inability to urinate, increased psychotic symptoms, increased weight, infection, insomnia, intestinal obstruction, involuntary movements of arms, hands, legs, and feet, involuntary movements of face, tongue, and jaw, irregular movements, jerky movements, jitteriness, light sensitivity, low blood pressure, mask-like face, menstrual irregularities, narrowed or dilated pupils, nasal congestion, nausea, pain in the shoulder and neck area, painful muscle spasm, parkinsonism-like symptoms, persistent, painful erections, pill-rolling motion, protruding tongue, puckering of the mouth, puffing of the cheeks, rigid arms, feet, head, and muscles, rotation of eyeballs or state of fixed gaze, shock, shuffling gait, skin peeling, rash and inflammation, sore throat, mouth, and gums, spasms in back, feet and ankles, jaw, and neck, swelling and itching skin, swelling in throat, tremors, yellowed eyes and skin.
goodbye liver. and the best part is, i still have (a very very very microscopic--but still present) chance of contracting hiv aids or hepatitis. GREAT.
im taking pills for my pills. when i complained they said chill. my prescriptions they were filled. for dollar bills. its unbelievable. its inconceivable. incomprehensible.
