What I did on my weekend

[Cyberman]

Wow, sorry to hear about your, indeed everyone's, bad experiences with these drugs. I don't know how much your GPs may have kept you in the loop regarding treatment, but from mine I learned that it's essentially a matter of trying out different approaches to home in on what works best. For instance, when I spoke to him just this morning he was very pleasantly surprised at how bright I was looking (his words). He's not the first person to say that to me this week, so it's probably down to being off the meds for several days, giving my system a chance to flush out the compounds etc. He suggested that maybe the drugs had served their purpose by getting me to a place I needed to be. He's going to monitor me on a weekly basis to see how things progress. I asked him for something to calm my nerves, as I can be like a frightened rabbit if I'm in a noisy place, unexpected and loud noises make me very anxious. He gave me some beta blockers called Propranolol (love the 'lol') which I take on an ad hoc basis, as and when required.

Speaking of things progressing, poor old Bonnie the Boner (Sam's pet name for him) seems to be holding his own, as it were. Bruising and swelling almost cleared, just a little internal bruising coming out now, the only painful remnants of the whole episode. As for the long-term effects, I've tried a couple of arousal experiments and things are looking up. He's just been sulking, I think. And who can blame him?
