Dengue Killed My Blog
Sorry I've been out of touch. I am alive...but getting over dengue fever. It is probably one of those "when" rather than "if" illnesses....
What are the signs and symptoms of dengue fever?
Dengue fever usually starts suddenly with a high fever, rash, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, and muscle and joint pain. The severity of the joint pain has given dengue the name "breakbone fever." Nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite are common. A rash usually appears 3 to 4 days after the start of the fever. The illness can last up to 10 days, but complete recovery can take as long as a month…
…and it isn’t fun!

Thank you for your comments.
The worst is over...in fact I'm about 99% in terms of health. I won't be doing any marathons for the next couple of weeks, but that's nothing unusual ; )
