Alright, slap some advice on me! I'm going to be in China (mostly Beijing) for 6 weeks this summer, if all goes well! What advice do you have for me?
some details:
I'm feeling really good right now, knock on wood. Should I plan to bring my wheelchair, or just my walker and one crutch? Should I bring the heavier walker with the seat, or the lighter walker without one? I'm thinking the heavy one and one crutch.
should I get shots? I was perfectly healthy and normal until I got my shots. as a result of the first round, I have partial seizures and brain abnormalities and fatigue... as a result of the second (at 16) I got really sick, developed heart problems that still bother me now, and gained 50 lbs in 6 months. After the third round I started having fibro-like pain that is apparently not fibro. So every time I get a shot I seem to get a permanent new illness that far outweighs the benefits of getting a shot! for 99% of the time, I honestly think I'd rather just risk it than guarantee myself a permanent reduction in my already limited quality of life. But there is that 1%...
Is there anything about China I should know? What supplements, foods, etc. should I bring? Will they hassle me about bringing a hug thing of theratears? I'm thinking about using the nasal filters to try to avoid any airborne pathogens and also the pollution... does that sound like a good idea?
I'll be living in a college dorm with a water boiler. Is it ok to use the boiler for teeth washing and stuff? Or do I need water from the bottle?
Thanks for any answers you might have! ^_^
