Zi-thro-maaaaaxxxx

…to the rescue!!! I must say that the great beauty of access to certain pharmaceuticals in Asia/Africa is awesome…ALMOST all is over the counter in these continents. I am sure that we are all very familiar with one of the wonderful miracle antibiotics…zithromax. It is 3 days and you are done. Most antibiotics are 5 plus days…which we all complain of being a pain in the a**, but hey, you got to let the meds do its thang and work its magic the way it is supposed to.

So, being here less than 2 weeks, I fell ill. Apparently, there has been a cold/flu kind of thing going around town…of course, right now, all in your heads, you are all thinking the worst, yikes, she got malaria!!! It wasn’t, thank goodness!! BUT then again, please let me remind you folks that I am taking my malaria pills on the daily to ensure and prevent from getting it!

Anyways, it sucks to be sick in general. It sucks a whole lot more on a different level when you get sick far far far away from home and family. Now, it has already happened to me here…but thanks to zithromax, I was only down for one day. And for that one day, I was pretty much knocked out. Keeping this one short and sweet and talking about being ill and sick is not good for anyone and I rather pass on re-living the experience by re-counting about it. Just wanted to give my props to zithromax for coming to my rescue in the extra punch power of 500 mg baby!!
