RE: Not Everything is Beautiful: Serious FOMO & Being Roombound
I lived in Bali many years ago, so hearing your story definitely brings back some memories. I actually picked up a pretty bad parasite while there that took me 3 years to even sort of come back from, so all I can say is, take ALL of your antibiotics, even if you start feeling better. Thanks for the update on the eruption of the volcano. My friends there haven't posted anything about it yet, but I suspect they're still in "deal with it" mode. I now have friends living near two active volcanos, Bali and Hawaii. Crazy times. What is the Earth trying to tell us?
Oh that's terrible. I've heard of people getting long term problems from bugs overseas. I haven't taken the antibiotics yet, and am a bit reluctant to. I seem to be a lot better today, so I'm going to give it a miss Ithink and rely on natural biotics. I know this might be crazy in retrospect but I'll go to a naturopath when I get back and get what I can to boost the system. that's lovely that you lived in Bali. For how long and in what context? :) xxx
The main thing with the antibiotics is, all or none. Sounds like you're on the none path and using other treatments, and hopefully that will put this behind you completely.
I was in Bali 1 year, then decided not to let my 1 year return trip period end, forcing me to buy another ticket if I wanted to return later. That felt too vulnerable to me back then. I was living there off savings mostly, learning to dance Balinese and teaching western dance styles. I spent most of my time meditating in my garden and learning how to verbally channel using a recording device. It worked!
That sounds like a amazing time....
Ithink i might have to do the antibiotics sadly... .
Well whatever you decide, I hope you feel better soon. Thankfully you're well away from the erupting volcano. Imagine trying to run for shelter right now! Small graces.
Ha well we are actually just outside the safety zone - it's literally just right there, looming out of the landscape. Amed was safe last time and I presume it'll be okay now. The funny thing is that my husband jokes that scooters go about 40 k an hour and lava flows at 60k - he is so mean!! I think there's an early warning system so we will be okay. I do like seeing her moods though - it's endlessly fascinating and the sunset with teh voclaco is amazing....
