Has anyone had negative outcomes from Mephaquin Mondays?

Sir, I'd like to say we have a better handle on it, but I'm not sure I can say to you.

What were those things we took in RVN. As I recall it was some form of Quinine. I didn't always remember to take them. Trying to remember the side effects but can't think of anything but that could be either a function of age or maybe the pills...These young kids see to have more fun.

CDR Kenneth Kaiser - Diarrhea was the main concern from quinine. I remember the latrines being stacked with soldiers waiting inline. lol Never had any affect on myself.

yes, I remember that. SOF was still using it in 2010.

Thanks for the link and deciphering my misspelled word.

Thanks. I love how they change the name for military use. They did the same when trying to give me pharmaceutical Ambien for a leg nerve injury. They wanted me to work up to 3 Ambien daily and go to work. I had one bad experience with 1/2 pill. Lariam.....Jesus. without out knowledge, and they didn't check the interaction with Doxy etc.

At your age - you say premature senility? CWO3 (Join to see) What does the mirror tell you?

CSM Charles Hayden Passed 7/29/2025 - Can't remember, but so ugly I break mirrors.

you had bad dreams from doxy? All i ever got out of that was a sun burn and clear skin.

I had what I thought was a dream, near Udari Range, waiting on I MEF for Eager Mace. Turns out I was hearing live feed while semi awake. We had to evac MEU from Kuwait in 24 hours and get back to Somalia.

You were fortunate Colonel. We were a MEU (SOC) with a fine Doc. The HMC trained his Corpsmen like Grunts. He had some time in S. America with high speed low drag units, and along with our Medical Officer they were top notch. We took most all that was on the market, and he demanded we all get gamma globulin shots while still afloat. He must have scored, as we had no malaria from Gulf or Somalia. Some of it screws you up good, but you adapt and deal. Drinking 6-8 liters or more of water daily is enough to give one the ability to crap through a screen door.

They diagnosed me with pitirosisrosia, a form of rosesia. Sure I didn't spell either of those right. Over half of the problems we have is because of the crap they had us taking. The breakouts, nerves, exhaustion, anger.....

3 years psoriasis. Couldn't figure it out. Triceps, ankle, wrist...i thought i had touched something in 2003. Gee, maybe it was all the Meflaquine and doxy for months on end?

Holy shit!! I have been breaking out in blistering rashes everywhere since coming back from afgh in 2013.thought it was something I got into over there.

Chloroquine can cause that.

Semper Fi Sean. 24th 91-93, 11th before that for awhile. Provisional 4th Marines MEU out of Oki during coup shuffle in PI. Afghan would have been different. Hard on the knees. Overwatch would be the gravy train, if you had solid egress and equipment. On call fires etc. These new calibers have reach. We just fixed all the hard down shit for MEU, BLT, MSSG. ACE ran their own show, Hard to call for a recovery vehicle mid-air. Wrench turners. If Afghan was Appalachia, Somalia was downstream of their sewage. Feeling shitty all the time became habit.
