Giesha,
This can be troubling for sure... You take stuff to help and it leaves a permanent (mental/emotional) condition... I'm sad for you...
When I was 19 and on my way to Sub-School in the US Navy this "brain-dead" dentist, a "full-bird" Navy Captain by the way, suggested I have all my impacted wisdom teeth out before I went to Sub-School. He took two out at a time, diagonally, with surgery.
The pain was mind numbing, and the infections were even worse. So he prescribed Darvon-65 and antibiotics. From these episodes, I was left with terrible migraines and a milk allergy. I would goto breakfast and within an hour, I had a splitting migraine and terribly messy nausea (upchucking uncontrollably). I swear the situataion might have shortened my life. At the time, no one knew how to help me except 10 grain compozine shots for the nausea. Whoopee... That was fun while it lasted...
Stangely, life on the submarine was OK. No milk and the oxygen bleed produced 5% oxygen richer air to breathe. However, even though exercise and harnessing the milk allergy with lactobascillus cultures, I still freeze up when I talk sometimes. It wasn't healthy to freeze up anytime while talking on the submarine. They would have eventually thrown my *ss off the boat. Somehow I faked it I guess.
I still dread that lingering feeling of uncertainty at what I might say.
