I was spiked and I still feel unwell a week later but doctors don’t care and my friend was rude about it…
I don’t know where to post so maybe here is ok…
I was spiked. I wasn’t drinking alcohol at the time. It was at a pagan style event celebrating the towns history with sword fighting and music and drinking.
I drank two beers that night and I know my limits, I drank them around 5pm, and drank cola from then on and my own water in a bottle in my bag. I left my last cola unattended but with all of our stuff and our group of friends whilst I went to help my friend set up her tent. I assumed because all our friends were there it would be ok. It definitely was NOT one of those guys. But they all moved off a little way to chat and were a few meters away up the hill from my drink and our stuff.
At around midnight, friends started heading off. I remembered my unattended cola and downed it, then set off to see some friends off and head back to the tents. Within 10-15 minutes I started feeling like I was really drunk. Dizzy, unsteady, giddy. 5 minutes later we were back at the tents and my friend who I helped decided she didn’t want to camp and went to her husbands family who lived near by. At this point my head is spinning and I go lay down. A short while later I get up, I don’t know how much time has past but I start vomiting. Then for 3 hours I can barely move from outside the tent, vomiting constantly. I vomited so much I made my insides bleed. My boyfriend had to call an ambulance for me because I was shaking so violently. I remember bits and pieces, like being carried up the hill between my boyfriend and the paramedic, I remember trying to speak at the hospital, then nothing until I woke up again around 8am. I then spend until 1pm ish vomiting constantly, there’s nothing left so I’m just wretching and bringing up bile. They transfer me to the city hospital where they scan my abdomen, take blood and give me benzodiazapine and anti nausea. I finally stop being sick around 3pm. They send me home at 6/7pm. (Timeline is estimated based on my jumbled messages and my boyfriend‘s account)
It has been a week and I still feel fatigued, exhausted, sick, not hungry, achy…. I take adhd medication so who knows how that interacted together… it’s why I don’t drink much.
Doctors agreed I had been spiked but never checked for what. On my notes it just says I had stomach flu. Which is bs because I was perfectly fine before.
I tried phoning them to ask if they tested my blood for what I was spiked with but they said no and kept hanging up on me.
Is it normal to still feel so sick? I am so lucky I had my boyfriend with me to protect me but I am so shaken up and I feel so violated…. I guess this might be a good place to post… I don’t know I’m just so messed up and sad about everything and my friend just said “oh well it’s happened just don’t think about it” and “it’s been a week and you’re still talking about it?” some friend….
How can I not? Right now I’m dizzy and my head is spinning. I wasn’t hungry but I made myself eat. I feel sick but now I’m terrified of the throwing up like I had before…
