I'd Like To Repeatedly Bite My Tongue Until It Looks Like It's Been Run Over By A Cheese Grater. Thankyouverymuch.
I feel::like I could go back to bed and be Rip Van Winklet
Here's another life clue that I learned the hard way yesterday:
When you've taken so much Klonopin and Migraine medicine that you can't walk without holding onto the wall and you feel like you're moving through water-don't sneeze.
I had a sneezing fit last night (allergies) while laying in bed and bit a couple of chunks out of my tongue. I could taste the blood, but at the time, I didn't really care. This mornining, however, all of the Klonopin and Migraine medicine having gone through my system, I realize how swollen my tongue is and now every time I sneeze, I bite it inadvertently again, which causes so much pain that it forces me to invent new and more obscene curse words. It usually goes something like this: *sneeze and bite tongue* "Futhing Song of a Bith! God-dammit! (that one I have no problem with)". I'm having trouble making the "sh" and "tch" sounds due to the fact that every time I sneeze, I bite both sides of my tongue.
The next time I say I want my tongue pierced, the person nearest to me has my permission to bitch slap me.

Oh gosh hope you get better soon.

Thank you, Frances. I appreciate that.
Tounge wounds are the worst! It won't get better unless you literally hold your tounge.
Great Blog...the Klonopin Pez Dispenser is what got me!
I was trying to talk to my friend on the phone yesterday and I sounded like I did in junior high when I had first gotten my retainer. She kept saying, "What the hell are you talking about?" So, I had to talk really slowly and carefully so she could understand me. Thankfully, I haven't bitten my tongue anymore since that day, but that one day I think I bit it repeatedly like 8 times; every time I sneezed. My allergies were attacking me.
Thanks for the compliment on my blog. I really appreciate it. The reason I thought of the Klonopin Pez Dispenser is because I always carry my Klonopin around with my in my purse or bookbag (depending on whether I'm going to class or not). I have Panic Disorder so there's no telling when I'll freak out. I thought it would make it easier for a person in the middle of a panic attack to take one (or three) with a Pez-type dispenser since you could just pop them into your mouth rather than trying to pry open the adult-proof lid of the medicine bottle and shake out the appropriate number of pills. I don't know about anyone else, but when I'm in the middle of a panic attack, the last thing I want to do is attempt fine motor skills.
I just wanted to apologize for laughing...hope your tongue is better...

I HATE BLOGGER BETA
Well...it's funny now. Now that my tongue isn't swollen anymore and I can talk without a pronounced watery lisp.
