Apparently, while I am sensitive to drugs, my injuries are not - the original meds the doctor prescribed weren't enough to touch it; by last night things were actively worse than when I went to the ER.

Right now I am on vicodin, flexeril, and prednisone, and things are finally starting to feel better. On the other hand, I am a hoarse, groggy, dizzy, twitchy, aphasic stumbling mess. I am also fairly certain that, with this level and diversity of drugs in my system, I am about a half-dose of NyQuil away from falling into a coma and reawakening as a glowing, superpowered monstrosity.

Someone please tell me this is not a good idea, since my judgement right now is beyond impaired.....

NyQuil's not NyQuil any more anyway. They've emasculated it to placate the people who think the Hell's Angels make crystal meth out of cold medicine. All you'd do is turn your teeth green, which isn't quite as dramatic as you're angling for there. :)

I know a lot of people are leery of it, and as a medical professional yourself you may well be one of those people, but (having been put on giGANtic doses of it once and moderate ones a couple of other times) I gotta say that IMO, if the right thing is wrong with you, prednisone is good medicine - and it sounds like what you've got going on is definitely the right thing (er, as it were). Hopefully while it's tamping down your inflammation response, other things will find it easier to make repairs.
