Making the decision on what medications...Hi Allie,<br /><br />Making the decision on what medications to put into your body at this time is a complicated one since you are about to put even more in with the art meds. <br />The way I chose on immunisations/medications as (self cycler) is to look at the contraindications of those medicines during pregnancy, the time of year travelled against the incidence in the areas I was travelling. <br />My reasoning in this instance is based on the idea that if medication can seriously harm a developing life form then what is the impact on developing eggs. <br />Delhi is cooler and dry at this time of year, personal vigilance at dusk and dawn can lower exposure, plus sleeping in a sealed hotel makes a massive impact. <br />Best of luck with your decision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584286554723970667.post-18575304009251596712011-11-14T00:39:53.334-05:002011-11-14T00:39:53.334-05:00Allie, I totally feel your anxiety when self cycli...Allie, I totally feel your anxiety when self cycling, I just kept telling myself that I had done everything I could and it was now out of my hands, easier said than done I know but Dr S is an amazing doctor and she has a way to make all anxiety melt away.Annette and Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12576660509855205144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584286554723970667.post-1111096816512235312011-11-13T19:49:47.393-05:002011-11-13T19:49:47.393-05:00Hey Allie,

We love them more deeply than you can imagine already. <br /> Your post reminded me so much of the anxiety that we felt (and sometimes manifested towards each other in less-than-kind ways)! I think that it's normal and is part of the journey. <br /> I'm not a doctor, and I won't give medical advice, but I can tell you that literally none of the teachers where I work in Delhi is on the anti-malarial drugs. <br /> Also, the dollar is doing quite well versus the rupee right now, so I have no doubt that you'll be able to get money at a good rate. Yes, our circumstances are different than most; but, sometimes we just withdraw rupees from the ATM. But, yes, you will be carrying a big filthy wad of cash around. :-)<br /><br />Cheers, <br />DouglasDouglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468283223334228003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584286554723970667.post-72825981933562233302011-11-13T17:25:23.544-05:002011-11-13T17:25:23.544-05:00Thanks for the reassurance!

SCI has been super in sending responses to me and they're so good about reading everything - I know there's no need to worry...now if I can just click my brain into the "off" position for a few hours. I'm going to send a few emails, make a few inquiries, and then go from there. Thanks for the tip on the $ exchange! Now, I need to figure out how much cash money to take - traveler's checks an option?Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04063763509998139934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584286554723970667.post-89593437920987231542011-11-13T16:41:53.930-05:002011-11-13T16:41:53.930-05:00Hi, after 4 trips to India I eventually worked out...Hi, after 4 trips to India I eventually worked out that it is much easier and more economical (yes better rates by far!) to convert your $US or $AUD (as for us) dollars to INR at the money exchangers in India. There was a great one at M Block Market. Hope this helps. You always feel much better when you arrive.FGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178073165122368786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584286554723970667.post-5897456607509581552011-11-13T16:05:45.450-05:002011-11-13T16:05:45.450-05:00Keep going Allie your doing just fine.

Especially since I kind of did all the preparations for our trip (I'm the organizer in our family :) I now thought of what I wish you the most and here it comes;I'm sending you a lot of peace of mind! My advice is to take some moments every now and then and try to meditate and clear your head and thoughts as well as you can. It sure is easier then to get things done.<br />Many hugs from Sweden!Tandoori Vikinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06997569594882551086noreply@blogger.com
