I flew back home Sunday (hosty watched me like a hawk in case I passed out) and after a horendous night I went to Hospital and parked myself on a bed and said "Im dying"!!
Lucky for me I worked at the Hospital and my Dr had seen Dengue before (being trained in Qld) so he didnt mess around. Initially he thought it was Malaria but when I showed him my blister (well what ws left of it) he filled out the Path Form to test for everything highlighting Dengue.
I was back at work the following week but was very tired come the afternoon.
I reckon it took me til Feb to come good (went to Bali early Dec). I had blood tests 4 weeks and 8 weeks after too, and all clear.
Hope you feel better soon. All I can recommend is a good healthy diet, lay off the booze for a bit and try and get some sunshine. Time was the only thing I had no control over but I did get better with it as I hope you do too!!
