Update.

Well, I seem to have caught (suspected) dengue. So, basically from Tuesday, my body temperature went from high to low. At the moment, the panadol given by my doc is keeping the fever low and at bay. I am basically monitoring for other symptoms that might just pop up.

I pray that it's just another viral infection, not dengue, because dengue is awful.

Oh no!!!

Is there anything that people can do to help over the internet?

[jolantru]

Unfortunately, nothing much. There's no cure for dengue (though there's a trial dengue vaccine). Maybe cyberhugs. :D

How long 'til you know for sure whether you've got it or not?

[jolantru]

It usually lasts from 2 days to a week (7 days). Serious cases require hospitalization.

[tornir]

It's definitely dengue then?
Well, I hope your recovery is quick and uncomplicated.

Thank you.

The worst is over, but the lingering exhaustion... not so nice. :(
