I’m sorry for your friend. I assume he’s doing better now?

I’m over mine, except for the weakness. That’s from losing the red blood cells and so expect to have to take things easy for another six weeks. But otherwise, I responded well to the medicine. I am thanking God for coartem.

FWIW, if anyone needs a malaria prophylaxis, STAY AWAY FROM ALL FORMS OF MEFLOQUINNE! That is a dangerous drug with long-term neurological side-effects.
