I went to my dr this afternoon & we discussed what happened. Oddly enough i've had codeine before in Nurofen plus but with no side effects. We're not sure if it was just the codeine or one of the additives in the cough syrup but I can assure you I won't be taking Rykodene again!

We discussed the cough etc & gave me a prescription for something with Roxithromycin. HOpefully this kills the cough!

Thank you for your support ladies. It's nice to have you in my life!

Btw..Zen..you're a cool chickie`

Ah! Sorry ladies. I should have made that clearer.

NEVER mix alcohol with medication. Bad combination. I seldom take medication for anything (strongest the odd aspirin usually for headaches) as I've found that most of the "cold and flu remedies" are a waste of money. Over here most of them contain paracetamol which I've found to be totally useless for me.

Also, don't overdo the Whisky Toddies. I did once. Had a stinking, chesty cold. Took one Toddy, decided I felt a lot better, so had another...and another...by the time I got half way through the fourth one, I was decidedly wobbly-legged and ready to party "C'mon Germs. Let's Party!!! ) I had an evil hangover the next day, but by teatime I was fine and the cold had gone. Definitely wouldn't recommend doing that though.

On a more serious note though, it does seem strange that only the left-hand side was affected. I would have thought a bad reaction to codeine would have affected all of you. Scary

HOLY SMOKES!!!
You scared the jeepers out of me!! WOW- very scary!
But I'm a lot like you. I hate taking stuff. I would rather let nature do it's thing. I'm also allergic to a lot of meds- esp. antibiotics so I'm a bit gun shy when it comes to taking stuff.
People tease me because when I go to the dentist for a procedure that requires novicaine I have to have someone pick me up. I become disorriented and loopy. I certainly wouldn't want to drive afterwards!
Anyhoo, hope you are on the mend. I have quite a box of goodies ready to send you!
