So, apparently I'm allergic or having a bad reaction to an antibiotic I've been taking for a week because I am so dizzy I couldn't go to class today. I started feeling a bit weird on Monday, but I chalked that up to tiredness. Yesterday at lunch was when I started feeling dizzy, but Melissa validly pointed out that I hadn't eaten yet, so I thought that would cure it. When that didn't, after walking light-headedly across campus, I went home and took a nap, expecting that to cure it. Totally didn't. Between me and my mom, we figured out that my minocycline was the most likely culprit, and it is indeed one of the side effects. Of course, other people have had incredibly horrible things happen to them after taking this drug (rashes that last for months, joint issues, SYMPTOMS THAT CAN BE CONFUSED FOR LUPUS, NEAR BLINDNESS DUE TO INFLAMMATION OF THE OPTIC NERVE!!!!!) so I am totally off it. I thought, oh, I'll feel better in the morning.
Instead, I wake up and lying still, in bed, I feel dizzy. I could probably walk across campus without incident, but sitting up in classes for four hours today is just out of the question. (Which is lame and stupid and ARG FUCKING DRUG.)
Sooo that's what's going on with me.
