Cuba illness

So it may not have actually started in Cuba. Driving on Tuesday 29.12.2015 from Cordoba to Mexico DF I felt a bit uncomfortable in the tummy.

Next day in Havana I started to cough, Thursday I lost my voice. Totally. I could only really whisper, and in the evening I resorted to writing notes.

Friday wasn't much better, Saturday there was a lot of coughing which went on for days, Sunday I spent most of the day resting, and only by Wednesday was I able to speak reasonably normally though there was still some coughing and mucous. At least, apart from the string dry coughting, most of the time I felt OK.

Aleisha got ill a day after me, but it was different for her: her whole body ached, she didn't cough much until a week layer.

Luci got it a few days later on arrival to Trinidad, she started taking antibiotic immediately, 3 days later still not 100%, coughing a bit.

Mira then came down similar to Aleisha but maybe not as bad.

By the time we left Cuba Luci was still a bit ill, and Aleisha had relapsed and was coughing a fair bit. Mira had eaten something which did not agree with her and spent the last day vomiting and feeling miserable. I had residual phlegm and occasional light cough.Read more
