I think I need help.

[dizmouk2009]

I'm all alone and I can't really understand anything. I'm listening to music but I can't really here it. What would cause hearing loss?

[mrmoonshine]

Have you taken any drugs or medication recently?

[NoMercy]

Don't worry about it. There are a lot of people on this site that need help....

[dizmouk2009]

Yeah the usually, the anti depressants and codeine. I don't take illegal drugs so that isn't a problem. I've had an alcoholic drink though.

He's asking about himself not lots of other people nomercy.

You havent taken an overdose have you? If you have phone 999 immediately!

[20SilkCut]

It really doesnt sound as if there is anything wrong with your ears but possibly that your thoughts are clouded by all the medications that you are on....(i read your other thread).

What is the specific medical condition(s) that necessitates all of these? (only answer if you wish to say.....)

[NoMercy]

Diz... If you're taking amitrip + codeine + alcohol... you're bound to suffer some hearing loss, diminished concentration and coordination. You really shouldn't drink with all those tablets. Go to bed and get a good night's sleep and it'll all look better in the morning.

[dizmouk2009]

I weigh 13 stone, to take an overdose on codeine/paracetamol I'd need to take over 70 tablets. No I haven't taken an overdose. I'm just suffering from really 'stupid' side effects.

[mrmoonshine]

Go to bed? Its only 9.49!

[mrmoonshine]

Aah well as long as its nothing serious thats ok.

[dizmouk2009]

20silk I have serious back, and shoulder pains which requires me to take codeine and amytriptiline.

[dizmouk2009]

I also have nail psoriasis which is a generic disorder that causes me servere pain. It's a treatable cause but it would require me to undergo massive DNA genetic modfication (My genes would have to be 'changed).

[NoMercy]

Uh.. Diz... that's not much more than an average weight for a young man. And 70 tablets is not the minimum requirement for an overdose. 100mgs (2 tablets) is the absolute maximum you can take in 4 hours, and that should not be mixed with alcohol. If you have taken more than 8 tablets in the last 24 hours, you need to seek urgent medical attention.

[20SilkCut]

Hi Diz....have you ever considered getting some complementary therapy for your back and shoulder pains? Acupuncture, deep tissue massage, bowen technique etc?

It sounds like you would feel much better in yourself if you were not taking so many medications...

Only a thought?

[dizmouk2009]

NM I'm understanding where you are coming from but I'm on my route to become a doctor. *100mgs (2 tablets)* - I'm going to assume that is a typing error, since that would be 1gram of paracetamol (each tablet contains 500mg). They say 2 (500mg paracetamol) tablets every 4 hours,...... It's just a guideline.. The body can deal with over 30 grams of paracetamol before it even has a problem. 13 stone isn't the average weight, it's overweight! If you range the NHS after taking 20 paracetamols and you told them you weight 13 stone (male), they wouldn't even admit you to hospital - 10grams of Paracetamol isn't enough to cause an overdose (unless there are other problems).

[mrmoonshine]

but it would require me to undergo massive DNA genetic modfication (My genes would have to be 'changed).
Ghanging your genes? Thats impossible dizmo,what do you mean?

[dizmouk2009]

It's possible to -mess with your DNA-

[NoMercy]

It was a typo... I mean 2x500mgs.

And there was a case recently of a man who took 12 paracetemols in one go, and died 8 days later from massive internal bleeding.

13 stone can be a reasonable weight... it depends on your height. And if you were on your way to being a doctor... you should know better than to mix alcohol with Amitriptyline and Codeine/Paracetemol.

Good luck with finding a solution.

Maybe im mixing up "genes" with "dna" looks like the tiredness is creeping in!
