information. Actually I am a little underwhelmed at the response time to his blood test. I feel they are testing for dengue which we already know he has and not platelets which I assumed would be the way to go in case they are still dropping. In any case I think I'm going to ring the health hotline because he is still totally fatigued.
Before anyone accuses me of using the BTF as a diagnostic tool, I am not. He was diagnosed in Bali and saw his doctor back here but I just don't feel at ease and nothing I have read on here nor on the Queensland health department site (figuring they know what they are talking about in Queensland) is making me feel at ease. Off to the phone.
In any case if reading this thread makes anyone take these symptoms seriously while in Bali then it's worthwhile.
