Yurgh.

My shoulder is less happy than it was last night. It was very painful this morning, but that's to be expected since I didn't take any painkillers at all for over eight hours.

I am not as keen on the side-effects of the codeine and the anti-inflammatories. They were kind of present all day yesterday: I was drowsy, but mostly I felt vaguely nauseous and more annoyingly vaguely dizzy, and the same is true of today. Bleah. I can put up with a lot of things, but dizziness and nausea are not really among them: I am a total wuss in that respect.

On the plus side, they really do help the shoulder pain. So.

I am going to have a bit more food, in the hopes that it will help.

:::ETA:::

Gah. Really dizzy now. This bodes ill.

Peppermint tea may help with the nausea

You might have picked up something in addition to the shoulder ailment. I would hope not but it's a possibility. Watch for fever. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Yeah, I remember being on Tylenol 3 and it totally threw me as well. It's kind of a dizzy/floaty feeling.

Take care of yourself.

I get this nausea and dizziness from oxycocet and oxycontin. You might try adding dramamine (ask your pharmacist first, I'm not Dr) to help with the nausea. It's not going to help with your sleepiness but it might stop the oogy feeling. Either that or drink copious water, at least twice to three times what you'd normally drink in a day. Codeine can cause stoppage of the natural flow of things if you catch my meaning, which will also cause nausea.
