In Reply to: Rash, Aching Joints? posted by balitour on Saturday, 15. January 2005 at 18:24 Bali Time:
Hello i have had exactly the same thing about 3 months ago, it lasted for approx 10 days, rash was mainly on my torso but different joints were sore every day but the main thing was my fingers.
It was like they had fluid in them i could not make a fist and everything just ached and ached.
Went to doc's twice in three days he gave me some anti inflamitries and said give it a couple of more days and if it is no better then we will take blood tests for ross river. It went away so as he said it must of been a virus. My sister in law has it now and she to has had blood test and is waiting for the results.
A friend of a friend has also had the same thing, really stange virus and i've been fine since....oh except for my limp and loosing two fingers....only joking Lol you will be fine but it was a very scary thing to have. By the way i had not been to Bali or anywhere overseas prior to getting this. All will be fine i'm sure. Regards Braz
