Vaccine blues

Hi, well i had 3 days of achy muscles this week. At first I thought It was because of my big workouts. But it was weird and apparently a common after effect ofg the Yellow Fever vaccine.

The unhealthy (obese) Public Nurse had all sorts of drugs and vaccines to recommend for our health (please note the irony here), the Yellow Fever one was unavoidable. Apparently I might get asked if I have it. Probably not, but could lead to inconvenience. So I am taking only one of the 10 vaccines she recommends and no malaria medication. Nor am I taking along any antibiotics 'just in case'. Most people know my view that the best way to avoid sickness is to stay fit and trim and avoid meat, wheat, dairy, caffeine and alcohol. Only if that doesn't work will I choose any medical advice.

I can't wait to get a break from this culture and a break from work. I just hope its easy to run lots over there. Looking forward to being warm.

I will now attempt to publish this,my first post.
