Hey folks, just wanted to drop this here in case someone ever ends up in the same boat I was in.

So a couple of months ago, I came back from a trip to West Africa (amazing experience btw), but about a week after I got home, I started feeling really off – high fever, chills, body aches, zero energy. At first I thought it was just jet lag or the flu, but it got worse fast. Long story short, after a few blood tests – bam: MALARIA. I couldn’t believe it.

Now here’s the part that really saved me – I was lucky to come across a site that gave me solid info on Anti Malaria Tablets and medication options. I honestly didn’t even know where to start. Thanks to their guidance (and my doctor, of course), I ended up on the right treatment fast. Turned out Hydroxychloroquine was part of the course, and yeah, it has side effects, but knowing what to expect made it manageable.

Shoutout to the site that helped me get through this – super clear info, easy to follow, and honestly just comforting when you’re stressed and sick. Would’ve been lost without it.

If anyone’s traveling to malaria zones – seriously, don’t mess around. Do your research, pack meds, and don’t rely on luck.
