Dose issue today

Hi all - arrived safely in South Africa - some nervous moments especially in Nairobi airport with what I think was a bad reaction to something.

I have been taking 10mg since Tuesday and I am not sure if took 10mg today. I did take 1 x 5mg. Visitors arrived and I got up quickly to avoid any perfumes.

Don’t seem to have dropped it and so may have taken the other 5mg as well. Obviously right now I feel that taking less right now with all the stress and possible adrenal insufficiency that it would be worse for me.

Can I just take another 5mg today??

Thanks.

In your shoes I would. That’s my birthplace. Challenging and wonderful. It won’t hurt you, being under fuelled will. Don’t fall for the buying your toilet paper in the queue to the bathroom. They have it. A ruse that this dozy passenger fell for. 😀

This was Nairobi and it was a scam at the airport. The modern loos were fully equipped. You’ve got to love them though, my compatriots.

Not what you're looking for?
