Side effects

 ... or is it side affects - I'm never quite sure.  In the "industry", we call them adverse events.  I was warned that the diabetes medication that I've started taking would have some gastroenterital side affects, and boy they weren't wrong.  It's a good job that I haven't gone into the office yet since I started the medication.  We are talking explosive diarrhea (yes, I know that is the American English spelling) and significant flatulence.  It is not pleasant.  But getting better as my body adjusts to the medication.  And you have my word it is the medication causing this, and not any junk food I'm trying to cut down on.
