Heat and Lariam

It’s getting a little hotter outside. I was tired yesterday and went to bed early. Didn’t sleep that well though because it’s so hot. I start the AC, but after a while it gets to cold as it is next to the bed. So I turn if off. Then I wake up again because it’s too hot etc… So today I’m even more tired. Marie(I’m very happy that she helps me here and has answers to my questions), says it’s because it hasn’t rained since Thursday night. At the end of the rain period, it gets hotter because it rains less. Then in october it gets cooler again. So I just have to wait…


Tuesdays are the days I take Lariam. That’s the medication to prevent malaria. Everyone just skaking their head here when I say I take Lariam. It has a bad reputation, and almost everyone I’ve talked to have had a problem with it. No one here’s taking it. Anyway, today I bought another medication to prevent malaria, Malarone. It has less side effects, but is more expensive. But it might be worth it instead of going crazy. I can’t say I feel any side effects of Lariam yet. I do feel tired and have a diffculty to concentrate on my work. But that just might be the heat…

  1. Lariam är helt ok... folk blir så jäkla hysteriska om d! D ger bra skydd och om du inte har världens bieffekter och redan har köpt det så why not!? Jag har ätit det många gånger utan problem och nu senast pallade jag 8 månader (detta var kanske lite i längsta laget men...). Lycka till! L8

  2. ja, jag har märkt det =) Men jag tar det nya ändå, så de inte går och oroar sig för mig... Tycker inte nån verkar bra egentligen, alla ger ju bi-effekter.
