And the drugs don't work...

they just make me very dizzy...

Basically I have had some pretty bad reactions to drugs in my time, I seem to be pretty sensitive to anything over the strength of a couple of paracetamol. And I mean like even feminax and ibuprofen screw me up.

Let me tell you all a story! It's a pretty well known fact that I'm on the pill and have been for a while. The current brand I take (cause apparently there is loads of varying strengths) is called Cilest and it's probably one of the weakest. First of all though I was put on Microgynon 30, the strongest.
When it finally came to taking it I took it and for about an hour I felt fine, although was pretty wary that the side effects list was a good few inches long. Eventually I started to feel dizzy. Dizzy in the sense that I couldn't even lie down without the world spinning like a spin-top. I didn't dare walk for fear of running into a wall. Then it was nausea that came. I felt so horrid, I just lay in bed with my head spinning and my stomach making the worst noises ever. I couldn't sleep but I wasn't sick until about three in the morning and up until then I had just lay there with my head spinning.
At last after I had emptied my stomach of all it's contents, I could sleep. I slept until six and then had to the take the pill for the next day. Not connecting the two (I wasn't aware of my drug sensitivity back then) I took it and went back for a snooze since I was bound to be off school anyways.

Something else odd that happens to me is I get very woozy and close to fainting when I don't eat, something to do with blood sugars. So combined the fact I had no food in me, had just taken a pill that made me dizzy and nauseous I got so so so horrible. I got out of bed and for a few minutes felt fine, so I went to the shower and got undressed and was about to go for a shower when suddenly the dizzyness hit me, and pain so hard  in my stomach I just buckled. I lay there, rather embarassingly still naked, on the bathroom floor thinking "If I can't get help, I may just die."

So I pulled myself along the floor and managed to get into the living room doorway, holding a towel round me for somewhat decency. The step-dad was thankfully hope. As soon as he saw me, pale and sickly he jumped up and pure panicked. I began retching and he rushed around me getting a bowl and then making toast, soup, getting a blanket and hot water bottle and masses of water. He was amazing and I can't imagine what I would have done without him. Even when I managed to basically flash all of my body to him whilst mid-puke, he didn't bat an eyelid. Superstar.

So that was my first experience with the pill and when I realised just how sensitive I am to medication, how fun! I brought this up cause I have the biggest headache and had to take brufen and then my head was spinning like crazy. I'm alright now though!
