Amoebas and meningitis

First of all, before you start to worry, I have neither of these.

Since my treatment against the amoebas my belly hasn't really been ok. So I returned to the clinic on Saturday. Today I got the results from the test and there are no presence of nothing in my belly. So maybe just by knowing that my belly is ok now, it will get better.

I took the opportunity to immunize myself against meningitis as well as I didn't have this shot. (don't know why the immunization clinic in sweden didn't give me this). The period of menagitis starts now so I thought it was better to do it than not too, even if I'll go home soon. I wanted to take the shot 2 weeks ago. I went first to another clinic close by (the clinic I visited before is a favourite among the expat's but is far away and I always have to wait for 1-2 hours...), every thing went well. I saw the doctor immediately. He told me what kind of vaccine to buy (when you go to the clinic here, they give you a list of the medications etc. to buy, then when you get back they'll treat you, too bad for you if you badly hurt!). I go to the clinic, and they only sell doses of 10, which is kind of expensive. I needed just one... But at the clinic I went to today, they had the doses of 10 so I could take one of out of it!

So everything is good now! No parasites and probably I won't get meningitis either.
