I've had the weirdest reaction to this cough medicine. I take a teaspoon in the morning because I'm coughing my head off. Thirty minutes later I'm woozy and semi-hallucinating, feeling like my body doesn't quite belong to my brain.

I lost most of yesterday, though I did manage to pull together and drive to my mammogram appointment. (Apparently I have 'dense breast tissue', which my tech equated with 'perky'. I'll take it. Now I'm just waiting for hubby to stop the 'stupid tits' jokes. Which, in his defense, I'll admit I started...)

I think I also had a lightning fast case of the flu yesterday. I'm better today, tummy-wise, though the codeine is still screwing with my head and balance.

All I can think of is this is a different type of codeine syrup than I've had before. Before, one teaspoon went unnoticed by my body. But of course, my other doctor also never offered a note to get me off work for a week. Hello, that should have been my first clue...I'm guessing we have this very large bottle of cough syrup for at least a couple of years.

Well, it's given me a good reason to put off getting back into running shape, anyway...
