My First Blog

Hi All,

Come along (and bear) with me as I explore blogging for the first time as well as my first trip to the Motherland, Africa. Personal thanks to my friend Vanessa (a true 'Techno-Babe' in the most respectful sense) for directing me to the how-tos.

The Anti-Malaria Pills


While wincing under the heat of the salon's dryer, I received a response from the physician-on-call regarding my ongoing issue with the prescribed anti-malaria med. She sounded upbeat, concerned and young, reminded me the drug I chose to purchase was the "cheapest" (no euphemisms from this one) of three prescribed by the clinic and recommended that I take the medication before going to bed reasoning that I would sleep through any discomfort which might occur. In all fairness she also said some stomach distress is a possible side efect of antibiotics...no further comment on this one!
