I recently mistyped Paracetamol asPracetamol
Spell-check kindly offered me the correction...
Peacetime
Which is not a bad approximation of what Paracetamol offers the pain-sufferer!
Talking of tablets...
I've just been put on a new medication the possible side-effects of which include: difficulty finding words, difficulty with thinking, memory impairment and confusion (nothing new there then!), panic attacks, hallucinations and abnormal dreams (does anyone have normal dreams?) and... er... changes in SEXUAL INTEREST----
WHAT??
Oh, my god! Not WOMEN!! Not my time of life!!
Don't take them Mr B ! If you've survived without women upto now, there's really no reason to put yourself through it !
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice, Boll. As a married man with twin daughters, I guess you'd know!! :-)
ReplyDeleteActually - my beloved Civil Partner excluded - I've had more than my share of grief from MEN over the years!
Is the first time in my life I hear about this kind of side effect...is very deepressing read the patient information leaflet, for God sake, it's suppose that medicines must help us...
ReplyDeleteI think, Eudora, that it probably means 'changes' in the sense of loss of interest in sex; but you are right: many medications have, among their side-effects, the very condition for which you are taking the medication! These new tablets of mine - intended to help relieve pain in the joints has a possible side effect of guess what? Yep, joint pains!
ReplyDeleteYou never know, Brian - maybe a side effect might be an increased interest in sex.
ReplyDeleteYou're forgetting Lisah, I'm a happily married man! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Boll! Don't take them! I tried a new medication for 2 days before handing back to the Doc with a strong comment as to the effect it had on my sleep and my psyche! 2 days and I was turning into a psychotic wreck, to say nothing of the WEIRD dreams which would wake me up! And I'm used to weird dreams!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of medication is it?
ReplyDeleteBi-carbonate of soda, perhaps? :)
