Malaria Feedback

Gents- just came out of 10 day malaria ... and I tell you this one was bad .. (no I did not loose anyweight PP and Vis )

I took Artesanate and had the fever for only about 3 days in which I was stuffed.

Luckily I had a lady looking after me - as I was alone in a room and on "leave". Hot tea and water was my survival and I did not dihidrate.

The worst was after the fever was the headaches .. it went on for about a week. I would be 100% the one moment and the next after typing a bit or so I would start seeing double and woep - I knew I had to go and lie down.

Artesanate worked (again) but then my blood pressure went through the roof. (OK we are having a bit of serious sh!t and stress here) but that just aggrevated the headaches.

Only a blood pressure pill sorted me out and I feel great now.

Thanks for a great thread.

Nellis has the malaria now - so we can await his feedback

Cheers,
