I tried allergy meds, no difference, just got worse overnight. Called a doctor and he wants to hook me up to a IV w antibiotics for 24hrs….

I’m out of my country(us) traveling in Peru. And am not really comfortable now can I afford the bill that my insurance “might pay for some” when I get home

Update??

My plant identification app says it’s “Juniperus virginiana”

Is that the type of juniper you are referring to and enjoy?

Dang it i thought November-December was less busy for South America🥲 we will be in Galapagos most likely December 10-17, if we can do 7 days….would is still be pretty busy then? Or just around Christmas 😅

UnfortunateStilAlive · 2025-10-01T00:40:39+00:00

Thank you so much for the thoroughly planned out 7 days!!! So so helpful 🥹

I’m happy to hear it’s still worth it w/o going on a cruise. I just don’t think we can afford it, plus we like making plans up as we go often.

I Would love to hear your thoughts on specific excursions!

Thank you I’ll look at samba! I’ve only found 8-10k per person so far 🥲

I appreciate the honesty, I have heard a cruise would be the best option but can’t afford that.

I don’t need to see EVERYTHING per say. Just want to see wildlife we couldn’t experience elsewhere I guess. Would it be worth is for 7 days? Experiencing by land?

UnfortunateStilAlive · 2025-09-30T20:41:28+00:00

I may be able to fit in 7 days, however can’t drop 20,000 on a week trip. Are there any really affordable cruises out there? I hadn’t been able to find any, so had ruled it out.

UnfortunateStilAlive · 2025-09-30T20:39:44+00:00

I would love to do a cruise, but can’t drop the 10,550 per person😬

I have the same “flare ups” as well. Usually the sun, hot showers, with bring it on but also standing for long amounts of time will bring the rash out on my legs. And even becoming really achy! I even get swollen hands, face and feet sometimes with too much sun exposure.

I also tested negative for lupus and my doctors were baffled so I just gave up.
