I felt normal again so I sympathize with you. I got mine on the 6th day of my stay so doctors think I got it either at the airport on arrival or checking into hotel. I was admitted to ICU at BIMC as my bloods were low and I copped bleeding from the gums etc. The original name for dengue was "breakbone fever" and it does feel like that. But after about 3 weeks you feel better except the aching joints and extreme tiredness takes months. I have been back twice since January 2012 and am off again in 3 weeks. Just make sure I have lots of repellent nowadays but it was my 23rd trip when I got it so can't complain.
