Well, I'm very surprised, can I presume you had the whole lot one day,
if so its not very surprising your poor immune system would have been
producing so many interleukins etc your circulatory system wouldn't have
known wheether it was coming or going.
I had Hep. A over 3 weeks, a polio, a Japanese yellow fever, Thyphoid
over 2 months, a minimum of 2 weeks between in each injection I think
thats the rules in the UK. The Thyphoid blew me away for 36 hours with
low blood pressure and sleep walking (1st time in over 15 years) The
yellow fever jab also made my glands swell a bit for a day, but other
than that I was fine. I had Hep. B and a TB booster for work about 6
months before this lot so I was a wlaking antibody making machine by the
time I went on holiday, A diptheria outbreak occured whilst I was in
Russia as well so another injection courtesy of British Airways travel
clinic in Moscow. Mind you I still got a worm infection from India, so
you can't avoid everything whilst travelling.
Have a good trip.
Christopher.
ps since this lot I hardly ever get really ill except from food
poisoning these days.
