Had a headache earlier, DH gave me codeine tablets by mistake, he saw paracetamol on the blister pack and thought it was my paracetamol. Anyway i can't take codeine as it makes me very dizzy, sick and makes my heart race. I became very ill quickly and worked out what had happened, I am ok now, have got over the codeine jolt, but i want to know if it will be ok to BF DS2 later in the night, he only feeds in the early hours of the morning now.

DH was saying 'are you ok, are you off your face?' I was just sitting there, eyes closed, feeling crap, but away with the fairys too going 'mmmmmmmm'

He did say sorry many times bless him.. I should have checked too though

Sparkly - are you sure you're feeling better, sounds like halucinations, beach in the back garden!

am feeling much better, I was saying to DH during the reaction 'well my headaches gone' pmsl!! I got my top wet when splashing my face, but couldn't remember getting my top wet...

I still wish I had a beach in the garden...

lol, its a nasty reaction when it happens, the hospital tried to give me some after I had DS2 in 2007, I refused and they put a red band on my wrist, then gave me paracetamol for the afterpains!! I wanted something stronger but they wouldn't give me anything else
