Phenergan ( The Medicine Knocked Me Out )

 

Just wanna explore abt anti nausea my doctor gave me last week,PHENERGAN aka PROMETAZINE.

I thought it would work for me.But,alas...it did knock me out. I should have read it carefully ( 1/2 tablet ,3x a day ,but I had 1 tablet a day ).

Tonite,I puked again.I knew I would puke.As soon as I cooked Ommelet,Stir Fried Beans,I puked them within minutes.

I cried,called Ronnie with tears.Crying like a baby.Nothing I could do.Mom's worried so much.Ronnie asked me to go to hospital.Mom thinks we need to wait till tomorrow morning. She gave me Ibuprofen, less than 20 secs, I puked it again.

My whole body was shaky,nervous,dizzy,undescribeable.Suddenly I felt cold.

Mom went to the bar for a couple hours to help Ronnie and Dave.She came back and looked for antibiotic for Joyce's teeth.I still got some from last year.She checked the Pill Book before taking them.

I checked the book and read abt Phenergan. This is what we got :
