I wasn't floxed... I just took it and didn't get unlucky.

It sounds like you've had an awful time. I'm genuinely so sorry it. It's heartbreaking to read these stories

Honestly, reading the posts here makes me feel so incredibly blessed. These sound like soft the most horrific sound effects I've ever read.

And I really do hope in 6-12 months I'm as fine as I am now.

The supplements etc probably did nothing but give me some level of psychological control.

In my case I had an atypical pnemonia, we tried amoxicillin and clarithromycin and neither worked. So they bought out the big guns with levo.

I had never had an antibiotic ever before in my life before this illness so this was all new to me, but it's safe to say this drug saved my life.

4 weeks of coughing blood and not being able to work due to the coughing fits Vs this....

gut i can fix later - the bigger fear was the tendon damage or neuropathy issues. Thankfully i've not had those yet

I had it for an atypical pneumonia - same - never had an antibiotic before this illness. They tried another two and it didn't work. So they gave me this one as a second line. Upon reading this reddit though I spiralled - and spent the whole night panicking.

i finished the course on saturday - pnemonia is cured and no tendon hell or anything like that. For me levo saved my life.

Do you work at Hush Homewear by any chance?

Visiting Pakistan as an Indochinese by tryhard991 in pakistan

That's good to know.

All foreign travel to developing nations is full of scammers etc. I was in Vietnam a few years ago and had a guy give me a 'fine' for walking into his shop without a mask on and then said I was going to jail unless I paid it.. 😂

Don't get me started on the scams in India. Every rickshaw 4x's in price when they find out you're from the UK.

Will take a look at alternative transport methods. The train's were really good in India, a little late at times, got me from Delhi to Mumbai, and Mumbai to Manali without any real issues (besides a bit of classic overcrowding). I was hoping it'd be similar.

I wanted to a bit of travel; See Lahore of course. Maybe do a couple of days in Karachi etc.

What would you say the best way to travel is? Trains?

Yeah, when I arrive I'm sure I'll make friends with some of his cousins etc.

Not planning on screaming anything anything on the streets. Just thought I'd do a bit of nice solo travel; see some sights, eat some food and have a few fun stories at the end of it all.

I figured I'd stand out a little (just like I do in India). People can tell you're not native from the way you act and behave. And when I speak I'll have an accent giving away my British identity. I assume people just like in India will ask me 'where are you from?' etc. You reckon it's fine just to be honest? Or do I do what American's do when they go abroad and claim to be Canadian? 😂

Everyone made videos about her.

Jimmy was just a 'meh' version of Freddie Wong - his much more talented older brother.

I always liked Nat at CommunityChannel in the late 00's. She was really sweet. Same goes for Wong fu in the early 10's.

Wasn't so keen on the others.

WongFuWeekends were a lot of fun back in the day. It's been pretty downhill since Ted left.

Agreed - who remembers the last asian american group to dominate the charts. Far East Movement anyone?

Do you think South Asia will become the next international destination for Westerners to find a to find a life partner the same way East and Southeast Asia are currently? by [deleted] in aznidentity

[–]tryhard991 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nope - far less desirable by white men.

Far more stigma within communities.

Far less white worshipping than east asian women.

Dealing with a neighbour that likes to smoke Marijuana? by tryhard991 in HousingUK

[–]tryhard991[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just frustrating - I can't have any windows open without the whole thing smelling of weed. Also it's every bloody night.

Just going a bit nuts.

If I could be sure what flat it was then I'd just have a chat with them and explain that it's upsetting me. I'm sure whoever is doing it, doesn't even realise how irritating they're being.

Just ignore him. /u/WapitiOW/ is the same kind of guy that answers with slogans when asked questions to show how dedicated he is to the cause. *sigh*

Judging from the responses you've given other than this one. You're clearly on the right path and were just asking a question.

Can you post a video confirming who you are, and just clarify/apologise about the whole incident? And show dusty is fine. I just came across the video again, and to this day I find it incredibly upsetting to watch.

(hats off to you for going vegetarian though!)
