I've been Poisoned

Friday 3rd January
In he early hours of Friday morning I had a couple of episodes of really bad diarrhoea so I remembered what the nurse at QA had said that I should try Loparimide and since I had not been issued with any of these pills I decided to get a GP appointment that day. However, it tuns out that Loparamide is the same thing as Immodium so I took a couple before I saw the GP. Now our surgery does not have a very high rating, there are 4 male GP's, 2 of them are reasonable, one is brilliant and the other is just plain awkward to deal with, no sympathy whatsoever and has a bad attitude problem. Unfortunately the surgery only had one appointment left and that was with him. When I eventually got to see him, he was running very late and I was feeling grim, we sat down and for 10 seconds he just stared at me, I thought what on earth is the problem but I just stared straight back at him until he finally spoke to ask me what I wanted. I told him of my problems coming off capacitabine and that I needed some Loparamide but I hadn't realised it was the same as Immodium. He said 'that's up to me to decide, I am the doctor, you've been poisoned' which I thought quite rude. Told me I could take as many as I like which I have done and the diarrhoea seems a lot better today so far. Codiene phosphate is apparently used to seal up the gut, rather than just pain relief so it does work with Loparamide in cases like mine.
