Supply problems

As I mentioned earlier, I am taking a couple of alternative medications: Febendazole and Ivermectin.

In the case of Febendazole, I am using a variant that is approved for human use in Europe: Mebendazole. Mebendazole is practically the same molecule, and some sources claim it might even be more effective than Febendazole, as it crosses the brain’s blood-brain barrier.

So, in the case of Mebendazole, I am not having any trouble acquiring it.

The case of Ivermectin is different. This medication is banned for human use and is only used as an antiparasitic for horses.

After a lot of research, I managed to find a reliable site (in New Zealand) that ships discreetly. The first two orders arrived without any problems in about 2–3 weeks.

However, the last order was held up at customs. I contacted the New Zealand site and they sent a replacement at no extra cost. Unfortunately, this second shipment was also rejected at Spanish customs.

Things aren't looking good. To begin with, the internet is full of fake websites selling all kinds of medication. It's quite hard to find a trustworthy one that actually ships the medicine and isn't just a scam. But even so, regardless of who sends it, the chances of it being rejected at customs remain the same.

I’ll try using a different shipping address, just in case my current one has been flagged somehow, and see if I have better luck.

Another possibility would be to try buying the version for horses. But this one doesn’t contain pure Ivermectin; it's mixed with other components, which makes it very risky.

I only have enough Ivermectin for one more month, and I’m afraid I’ll have to stop taking it.
