Fate/me = the anti OTP

So, how the hell do people become addicted to codeine? I took some yesterday, and it was enough to make me vow it off forever, because while pain might suck, at least with it I'm capable of holding a thought for sentence and walking straight. The random dry-heaving, which I blame on the painkillers, also didn't help. I can't imagine anyone takes it for fun.

All of which is my long way of saying that I spent most of yesterday in the emergency room, because it's just not finals week if I don't develop multiple debilitating conditions. Currently it's an abscess on my upper thigh that had gotten infected to the point where it hurt to walk. I'd say more, but it's incredibly disgusting, and I'm sure no one wants details.

Between this and the prescription they gave me last week for my killer virus/laryngitis, I'm on three different kinds of drugs (plus the codeine, but I'm refusing to take that unless it becomes imperative), and am definitely feeling the effects. Which adds up wonderfully for the paper I have due today at five, which not only have I not started, but I haven't even finished the research for yet. I was supposed to do it yesterday, but again: emergency room and high off my ass. I think I'm going to be asking the professor for an extension.

And how are all of you?

It's alright, really. I'm in the sort of pain where I actually need anything to numb it. It was just such a surprise- codeine seems to be so much the current drug-of-choice for people that I'd expected it to be at least vaguely pleasant.

And thank you!

My doctor tells me that approximately 25% of the population is mildly allergic to codeine, ie, it doesn't do anything for them other than make them throw up. He was very sympathetic when I explained my problem with it, because he was part of that 25% too.
