Spasm control

Okay, so this post may damage my reputation as a blogger and writer in general, but I cannot help sharing something that has made me laugh everyday-twice a day-for the last week. I better prep you first.

Most of you all know that I have been traveling to Peru on a regular basis over the last year and a half to work with a local community and help build a new mission. Many of you have even been to Peru with me to join in on this work. Actually, some of you may even be able to proclaim with me that you have suffered from food poisoning, montezuma's revenge, or even parasites living in you (or as I like to call them "my little friends"). It seems that every time I go to Peru I can spend all week eating the local back country food and not get sick. But it is almost guaranteed that on the last night I will eat something in touristy Lima and get extremely sick. I am talking major spasms--(if there are children around you may want to send them to bed)--and it is paralyzing. One time I got so sick from food that I ate in Lima that when I was back in the rural area I had to go to the local po-dunk clinic to receive TWO IV's. I was there for more than 8 hours because I lost so much fluid and weight--just had to soak it all back up.

So anyway, I should have known better than to eat anything in Lima on my last night of my recent trip because that next morning and for the whole following week I was paralyzed. I finally went to the doctor a week later when I wasn't getting better on my own. (I don't know why we men think this way--ah, just give it a few more days and I will feel better). So I've been taking the meds for four days now, and I feel wonderful and I can say that I have had success in my spasm control.

I think the reason why I have been successful is (among the two other medications that kill the parasites) I have been taking this:

Yeah, I am rolling on the floor even now! I hope this gives you a hop in your step for the rest of the week!
