ear infections

i was just showing you how clever i was...

I've had some horrendous ear infections in my left ear, if I'm honest my left ears never been better.
I've woke up with blood streaming out of my ear on a couple of occasions.

its my left as well. its feeling slightly better today but still far from comfortable

I first noticed a problem with my ear from my days of going to see bands, i think it was the NME tour years back. I woke up the next morning with a high pitched sound ringing in my left ear, and it was ever better from that day.

Stack that up with falling asleep on those steps, head against the bass bins in Foundation and you have lifelong problem

working in dusty atmospheres and not wearing a mask can cause inner ear probs as well as sniffing powders. not that anyone would do that like

hmmm... that's because you don't have a pharmacology degree.

both codeine and paracetamol are prodrugs. this means that once absorbed from the small intestine into systemic circulation, they must first pass by the liver (via the hepatic portal vein) to be metabolised to their active form, which, in both cases, is morphine, before they exhibit any therapeutic effects.

this is where things get dangerous, as morphine is an opiate with pretty severe consequences in overdose, predominantly through respiratory depression and subsequent death through asphyxiation.

and for the record, i don't work in a pharmacy...

better today, pain almost gone, now am just deaf, and my voice sounds very loud inside my own head

think we would have heard about that before if it was true

its active form is morphine, yeah. a very low therapeutic dose, but thats its active form.

forks - why would you think i would lie about it?

i'll tell you what, i'm wrong. you're completely right, and my degree actually means fuck all.

of course you know a lot more than me, you've done half of some hefcs...

ooh
