bloodyrosemccoyYesterday I started to feel that unpleasant vertigo sensation I get when I've missed a dose of Fukitol. Every time I turned my head the world would kind of slosh, and I was wobbling like Captain Jack Sparrow. So I checkd, but no, my little pill-calendar is up-to-date.
Maybe it's just a bit of benign positional vertigo, I thought, and went to sleep.
This morning at work I went from mildly seasick to "you're SURE you're not drunk?", and realized ... I just started a new bottle of pills on Sunday.
So I called my pharmacy.
ME: Hi, pharmacy guy!* It's Amelia. I was just wondering ... did you folks switch brands on my Fukitol?
PHARMACY GUY: Uh, let me check ... do they look like they always do?
ME: Well, they LOOK the same, but I am falling down, which is different.
PHARMACY GUY: Oh, here, looks like we switched companies.
ME: I see.
PHARMACY GUY: I mean, it's the same exact drug--
ME: Uh-huh.
PHARMACY GUY: ... we could change it back if you want.
I decided to see if the seasickness wears off, but I may take him up on that, because this is not comfortable and I am not sure if driving is a completely swell idea. But it just goes to show. That whole "They'll never know the difference unless you tell them" thing? It is a FILTHY LIE.
*I know all the pharmacy guys. It's right downstairs from Dad's office and I used to be in there all the time buying chips and things.
