Thank God for Azithromycin!

Today was the downer of my trip... I woke up early for a daytrip of horseback riding, swimming in waterfall pools, and a mudbath in the hot springs... Then reality hit: nausea, abdominal pain, and upset stomach. I canceled my trip and spent the whole day in bed. :(

I waited a few hours before taking the antibiotic the doctor gave me (hoping it would pass), but couldn´t take feeling like total crap anymore, so gave in and took the Azithromycin (antibiotic for travelers diarrhea caused by several kinds of bacteria). More sleeping, and by 6pm I felt better.

Honestly, I don´t know what I would have done without the Azithromycin - lifesaver!

Lesson learned: never travel to a 3rd world country without Azithromycin.
