Montezuma’s Revenge

It finally happened, I am sick with the “Montezuma’s Revenge”! It was bound to happen and I have been waiting almost four weeks for it to occur. My family has given me some local remedy but it still hits in the middle of the night. However I’ll just use the Imodium that I brought with me and hopefully that will help. As long as it does not turn into the violent illness I got from the jungles of Honduras a few years ago. That was quite an experience for a few months, LOL. After a multitude of tests the tropical disease specialist basically said that sometime they never know what it is but if re-occurs again to come back. Hopefully this will go away in a day or two!

Well it has not gone away and it’s been a couple of days so I went to the pharmacy and they gave me something that should kill a horse! I take it for two days and then one month later, it should do the trick. I have to stay away from frijoles (beans) and all milk products for a few days. I guess I’ll do a follow-up with my family doctor once I return to Canada. It’s interesting, the box is clearly marked to be obtained by prescription only but here that means “over the counter”, LOL.
