Yes to annual eye exam....my very cute young rheumatologist is on my butt...

Yes I’d taken it before for malaria and dengue 1978-1991

My life of the adventure world wide mostly third world adventure years...before a reckoning and shortly after the start of five children I’ve raised and still raising with a 15 year old at pushing 65

I’ll have raised kids 40 years steady when he turns 21

I took plaquenil as a Covid prophylactic ....my Covid 18 months ago was extremely mild and I’m high risk for sure

Congenital heart issue and pacemaker and lung compromise

My adventure years were also third world. And war zones. I took doxy for malaria prophylaxis, as I was in an area of multi-drug resistant malaria. It worked pretty well, but in the Land of No Sunscreen I quit taking it for about a week hoping to get over my sunburn and get a nice tan. And boom, I got resistant falciparum. It wasn’t that bad. The cure was much worse than the disease (”toxic doses of quinine”). I was deaf for a couple of weeks from it, but my hearing came back. Yay. Not everyone’s does. And, oh yes, I did get a great tan and went back on my doxy.

Wow, that’s a lot of years of raising kids!

Glad your Covid was mild. I had it in February of 2020 and it was scary bad. Way worse than malaria. I did not go to the hospital, but probably should have. Right now, I either have Omicron or a bad cold. I never get colds, so ...
