My son has a lot of trouble sleeping. When he was little he was a great
sleeper. His problems started when lived in Uganda when he was 20. He
reacted badly to the malaria prophylaxis. He was supposed to take it
once a week but the side effects bothered him so much he started doing
it every week and a half, alternating Wednesdays and Fridays. One week
he screwed up and too the second one after only half a week. He had
psychotic moments and almost checked himself into the hospital. Here we
are 20 years later and he says that he has nightmares every night, and
occasional night terrors. His experience has me questioning why there
is so much PTSD in the military these days and if their symptoms are the
result of that malarian prophylaxis that they have to take when deployed
to hot climates.
