Tramadol

I hate taking tablets, etc., in general, but these fuckers are awful.
Tramadol is a central nervous system pain reliever that makes my head spin and has nearly caused me to faint on several occasions.
My doctor prescribed me these on Tuesday, after I told him that I did not want the mind-bending Dicloflenac Sodium.
He also prescribed me a ten-day sicknote; this I do like...

"A funny thing happened to us on the way to the future. The internet went from being something exotic to being boring utility, like mains electricity or running water – and we never really noticed. So we wound up being totally dependent on a system about which we are terminally incurious." John naughton, The Observer.

Bad back

Off work today with a bad back; I only managed an hour or two sleep lastnight and can't get back to sleep.
I have tried Nurofen and Dicloflex (dizzy-ing and vomit-inducing) but to no effect...doh!
