Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey

Here’s where a stranger on the internet tells you to consider taking expired narcotics

That old bottle hasn’t turned to poison - it has lost some potency though - YMMV. This is not financial advice.

And I shouldn’t have to say this but I will - don’t drive if you’re taking narcotics (like codeine etc) in the last 4-6 hours - especially if you’re also feverish - you’re gonna be a bit loopy and delayed.

I probably drank it from the bottle in 2018. I dont even remember what I had that got me that bottle but I dont want to reinfect myself

Fuck it. The trgs said it was ok. I wanna go to sleep. Expired opiates it is!

Its dinnertime here in SteveIrwinland. We'll all be up for a while yet if you need a tripsitter or more shitty non-medical advice. Godspeed brave expired codeine soldier.

listen if we lose a few 46 post m-series jongs to science that's just the price of progress

I dont think it even did anything at all but this fucking sucks. I cant sleep and I cant do anything and I can't hear the TV over coughing.

Whiskey is kinda like codeine, and is also what my grandma used to give me when I was a kid and had a cough.

I dont have any whiskey. It went on the list with tequila after the fireball incident.

Try some honey - like on a spoon or mix it into a small amount of hot water. No idea how it’s supposed to work but allegedly it can act as a mild cough suppressant.

If it does nothing at least it tastes good.

I want someone to make me soup

You've got a pulse ox dipping down to 89 and they didn't do a chest XR? Not good.

I'm fucking pissed. If I have to be this sick I at least want covid.

[old goat]

I'd personally take the old codeine. But I wouldn't advise my patients to take it.

[mb6f50]

Well I'm starting another 4 hour wait at different walk in clinic because the one from yesterday is booked for the day and won't help me.

I'm suppose to follow up with my primary care doctor but they are booked out over a month and you have to be on hold at least an hour to even talk to a receptionist.

Every year I pay more and more for worse medical care.

Should I just go to the Er? Is why people just go to the ER?
I can barely stop coughing and trying to talk makes it worse.

If you can’t breathe well please seek immediate medical attention.

Yes, go to the ED.

[mb6f50]

Try a throat swab with the home test?

All home tests plus yesterday's PCR were negative.

I guess that means I'm not going to die even though I've been coughing non stop for over 24 hours

I can breathe its just not easy.

Have you been tested for RSV? I got that last summer and was absolutely fucking crushed for 2+ weeks. Similar symptoms. Ended up sucking on a nebulizer every few hours. Sucked.
I thought adults were mostly immune to that. Apparently I was wrong. You might want to ask when you go in.

For what its worth... I've had nasty bouts of dry cough that was fairly debilitating caused by allergies to flowers, like the really strong smelling Lilly's. Antihistamine and tossed the devil flowers out made all the difference. At the time of those coughs I had no other allergy symptoms... it was weird.
