Thanks so much for this reply Annie. I had read that chloroquine could exacerbate MG symptoms and, just now, I'm feeling very nervous about this trip. I wish we weren't going -I'm worried about the drugs, the risk of infection, the heat, the lack of medical provision added to the ongoing lupus flare that I've had for a year or so. Or maybe even longer .... I didn't want to go from the start but, after months of resisting, I caved to the pressure from the rest of the family - I think we've all learnt a lesson from this uncertainty. We've got gallons of deet and wristbands, I hope the hotel will provide the nets in the rooms.

The roaches sound fun! We're so sheltered in the uk - the weather may be rubbish here but there are advantages!

I hope you're keeping well xx
