My cousin who is a nurse said that drink spiking is actually very common these days, even though you don't hear or know much about it. Although saying that you do see the odd info pop up on the news occasionally about it. But then when i've explained to people i know what "may" have happened to me i was quite shocked when 3 or 4 people said they've been spiked before too, but their memory is quite vague about the finer details.
Due to me not been properly seen in hospital until roughly 11 or 12hrs later meant that any drugs that are normally used for this type of thing would've been well out of my system by then, which is why nothing was found.
I asked hospital doctors about a possible stroke or anything similar and they said that was ruled out and nothing found to be untoward.
The other possible explanation is a very 'rare' but very possible strong side effect to a 2 week course of a pill medicine i was taking for a skin rash. I fully understand that virtually all medicines have the leaflet in the pack warning you of stuff that "could" effect you, but if you read them word for word you'd never take any medicine at all out of fear.
But when i read this one it said about a 'serious allergic reaction' and part of it then said Call 999 if "You suddenly become very confused, drowsy or dizzy, or someone faints and cannot be woken up."
Kind of hit the jackpot with that description.
After leaving hospital after 6 weeks i found just one tablet left, and it was dated to be taken on the day i fell.
Never really took any notice about it then but a few weeks ago i was prescribed the same drugs again for the same rash, and after one daily tablet had a banging headache and was bumping into everything when walking around the house. Took another the next morning and same again, banging headache and walking like a pinball.
I reported this verbally and online to my GP to make sure they knew about this.
Another thing i've been suffering with is called BPPV, which is a posh name for vertigo, and according to a consultant i spoke to is a very common issue after a head injury.
Strangely though, after doing my own research i found instruction videos on YouTube on how to get rid of this constant 'unstable' feeling i suffered for ages as soon as i woke up until i went to bed. At a guess i reckon i eventually sorted that out after about 5 days of learning about it, watching videos, and more importantly seeing a picture of what is actually going on and why.
I should've been told about this though, and no doubt many others, if it is a common side effect from a specific injury. But i found out by searching my problems online and mentioning it to the consultant then they just blurted it out as if it was all common knowledge i should've been aware of, but it really isn't.
