Ahh, Burning Inside...

[harliquinmayhem]

Actually, eaten from the inside out by a rash known as Stevens Johnson Syndrome.

The rash is an sometimes fatal, but less common side effect of the anti-seisure/mood stabalizer Lamictal, which I have taken for two solid weeks, and have been told to quit immediately

I've got a sensitivity to chicken. It makes me feel BAAAD. I used to be sensitive to lamb. That sucked.

Sorry bout the evil medicine making you hurt.

[harliquinmayhem]

Wow, cool! I mean, sorry. Heh, it's nifty to realize someone I actually know has one of the rare and innane problems that I do.

The thing that mifs me most about the Lamictal isn't that it ate me up, it's that I went through all the side effects, but I was told to stop taking it even though other users have noted that they soon adapted after having symptoms so severe, and that it has been a wonder drug for them ever since.

The effects kinda reminded me of how sometimes when suddenly finding myself in a partnership with someone in the past, we both would seem to spend a few days slightly flu-ish, as our bodies basically innoculated.

I've lived teh pain, me want wonder drug!

Are you headin' out to Rec Plant this weekend? Dunno if I'll make it, being sick-like n all.

[fulguritus]

Yeah, it's a weird problem. I have lots of odd food sensitivities. It's annoying.

Ambien seems to be the "wonder drug" I can't take. It makes me totally hyper spastic.

I'm going to Rec Plant. Leaving now! Come if you feel good enough!
Love!!

Sorry to hear you're having a rough time, but it sounds like you're getting back on track. I'm skipping RecPlant this weekend, so give me a call if you wanna hang out. I'll likely be brewing on Labor Day.

Please tell Audrey congratulations for me!

Hey, I studied Neuropsychopharm for years in college... a side effect of drugs they don't teach you about in school. :)

Psst...
Do you use text messaging?
I think I either tried you, or thought that I shouldn't bother since I wasn't sure...
