This is going to be my last blog post for the night. The wifi is extremely slow hence I am typing every blog post from my iPhone 6. My laptop is unable to connect as a matter of fact I haven’t been able to connect with my laptop since I got here. I probably won’t even be able to email the business strategy. Oh well no stress at all…
At the moment I am completely delirious and I am sure it’s from those damn malaria pills. I decided to take them as I wasn’t going to be in places with A/C but those pills have me tripping.
Let me sum up which side effects it’s giving me:
1. Crazy, frightening and vivid dreams:
I am in my bed not knowing whether I am hallucinating or I am experiencing reality. It’s a really screwed twilight experience.
2. An unquenchable thirst:
In Antwerp I barely drink anything whereas here I am drinking 3 to 4 liters a day and still feel like I haven’t had a sip. I constantly have to go to the bathroom to Numerien’s amusement. (Reminder to dedicate myself a blog post to the previous toilet experience outback.) My lips feel dry and swollen. Damn it, I should have bought that chap stick at the airport. I was being cheap, I thought 12 euro was too much and now I freaking need it. I will probably be dreaming about Chapstick tonight. Fata Morgana it bloody is!
3. Random severe headaches another side effect. I am taking Dafalgan to reduce the occasional headaches but painkillers reduce the effects of the preventive pills.
4. Nausea another side effect! Motilium instant is my good friend though it reduces the effects.
5. Sleeplessness another one ! So Tylenol pm has become my guardian angel. One Tylenol pm is enough to put me in a 5 to 6 hour comatose sleep. Otherwise I wouldn’t sleep at all while I am actually sleepy. Actually it’s drowsiness during the day and sleeplessness at night.
What kind of rubbish medicine is this ?
6. It aggravates the vertigo I already have so now I have to up my doses.
I am starting to wonder whether I should continue using it ? According to my doctor yes as 1 in 10 experiences these rubbish side effects.
Well my daily cocktail exists out of Dafalgan, motilium, malaria tablet, vertigo medicine and Tylenol pm. Not the best cocktail in the world but it seems to do the trick…..
Hallucinating I am off to sleep ! Days are long working from 7 am to 17:30 from tomorrow onwards!
