ouch!

today i got my yellow fever vaccine, the 6th and final shot (hep A, typhoid, polio, meningococcal, tetanus) i needed for my trip. so now i'm a virtual wall of immunity...ha!

also got my anti-malarial prescription (mefloquine). the possible side effects include really fun things like "vivid dreams, convulsions, panic attacks, forgetfulness, confusion, hallucinations, aggression, psychotic or paranoid reactions and encephalopathy." so just be forewarned that if at any point these entries start getting a little loopy, it's the drugs, not me. =)

Comments:
I can vouch for the trippy dreams. ;) We'd all share them during our morning drives in South Africa... I hope you don't suffer the more annoying ailments on this lovely side effect profile, Jenn! But if whacky dreams are a part of your experience, it'll make for good reading for those of us trapped in the boring 'ol US. Happy packing and keep us posted!! Love from Maine, Meg
