Adventures in malaria pills

I don't want to get malaria, but I'm starting to think that the preventative medication is worse than the illness. I've been taking one kind of pill called Doxy for the last month. I guess the little bacteria in my intestines are very fragile, because they immediately die off with every dose. No bacteria=no digestion. Need I say more? No more Doxy for me.

So yesterday I started taking a different kind call Lariam. Google it. Read all about the side effects. They weren't exaggerating. Last night I had nightmares the likes of which I had never even imagined. When I woke up at various times I found myself hallucinating zombies and terrible things. It's funny now, but last night I wasn't laughing. I was praying and sweating. I was even singing to try to keep the fear at bay. I slept with the light on all night. No more Lariam for me.

Today is a new day though. There aren't any zombies around that I can see. I'm about to go to the first meeting of a small group I started. God is good. If you are willing and able, please pray that I will have a better night tonight. Thanks.
