In celebration of #CincodeMayo, a look at vax-injury treatment this last year...
What hasn’t worked: Literally all meds, supplements, diet, 30+ doctor appointments and tests.
What has worked: Taking a break from all this crap to travel to Mexico, despite the health issues. 🇲🇽

The health problems come packed in your carry on baggage so it was exhausting running around the Yucatán Peninsula for three weeks, but sometimes you have to do what you think you can't. Mexico is an amazing country rich in culture w/friendly people and incredibly delicious food.
Despite what the media tells you, I never felt unsafe. Not a single time. I was spatially aware, didn't flaunt wealth (don't have any anyway), was curious and friendly, open to new experiences, and did my best to learn the language, which made a big difference. Estoy aprendiendo!
I didn't get to do most of my to-do list, but I did a lot more than sitting around waiting for useless doc appts. The benefit to mental health, which at this point is more important than the physical issues, was invaluable. The new friends and memories provide the best treatment.
It was also significantly more affordable to fly down and relax on the beach or by the hotel pool when needed than it is to simply exist in the U.S. w/our rising rent, food and gas prices. I see why many become nomadic ex-pats--a lifestyle I could easily adopt if health improves.
For anyone hesitant about traveling, don't be. Sure, there's bad hombres in every corner of the world, but there's also way more good than bad out there. Plus, the only Corona I caught was in a bottle w/lime! 🤷♂️
Book the flight. Get out there and live!
