Feeling Putrid

   Posted by: lyle    in Health

Today’s currently not all that good a day. I ended up getting in to work slightly late, mainly due to feeling like shite, but it was my day for the early shift (only by an hour, so it’s no great trauma – and I do get to leave at 4.30 instead of 5.30) so I came in thinking “get this bit out the way, then aim to head home so I can collapse and die for a bit”. Bad, bad, bad idea.

Out of the team of six, three others are already off sick today. So I can’t really head home, short of literally collapsing and dying. Arse.

Ah well, I’m sure I’ll get through it – I’ve managed far, far worse, after all.

Co-proxamol

   Posted by: lyle    in Health

Interesting to see today that the painkiller co-proxamol is to be scrapped. Apparently it’s been linked with up to 400 deaths per year and a study found it was the second biggest method of drug-related suicide in the UK, accounting for almost one in five deaths.

I’ve used co-proxamol before, and I can see why it’s easy to overdose on, either intentionally or accidentally. It’s a seriously heavy gun in the world of painkillers, and while it’s sad to see something so effective be withdrawn from the market, I can understand the reasons why it’s necessary to do so.
