Anti malaria medicine side effects never get one sick this much.
I woke up with diarrhea again. I was so weak we went to the hospital.
Emergency room was empty, so I went through quickly and got the IVs.
Ciprofloxacin for bacteria nuclear bombing and Metrogyl for the very possible amiba (I'm not sure how to spell it).
It's 8pm now. Just starting to feel better.
Muriel took such a good care of me. She went back and forth to the hotel. We plan on flying back to our friends house in Mumbai tomorrow afternoon. We cancelled our flight to Cochin. We'll plan according to my health!
After some discussion with the doctor we agreed on food poisoning. As soon as he heard train meal he pointed to it. It is true it was our only meal we don't know how, where and when it was cooked. And the timing is right, the first symptoms started 12h after that meal.
I didn't know the lack of fever and the coming and going of diarrhea is a characteristic of amiba. I could have treated the whole thing with Cipro and Metrogyl from the beginning... Tough lesson.
