Night(morning)mare!

I woke up at around 4am and took my morning medication. Mistake! A short while later, I began to feel really unwell. Everything seemed dark and 'drizzly', I heard 'white noise' in my ears. I couldn't stand up - I was too weak. I was desperately thirsty and hungry. I woke Simon and told him how I felt. Mistake! He wasn't pleased that I'd woken him at such an unearthly hour and got him to get me a drink and something to eat. After I'd had a drink and eaten, I tried to go back to sleep but couldn't. I was unwell for the remainder of the day until nightfall. Tomorrow, I'll leave taking my morning medication until after I have breakfast
