Has anyone experienced any sickness after arriving home? This last time in March on return I started with a fever the day after I arrived home that lasted for three days, I was short of breath more than usual (I have emphysema) and subsequent X-rays revealed a spot on my lung. A cat scan later showed the spot in more detail and gave enough information for it to be diagnosed as not cancer. The specialist I visit came to the conclusion it was a tropical bacteria (he did not know I had been to Bali) I had no energy and was coughing ghastly coloured phlegm, it has taken three months for me to get over it.

The reason I write this is that I am curious if anyone else has had similar problems. It could of course been picked up on the flight home.

Started to feel better this weekend so decided a holiday was needed to fully recover and away we go on September 30th for 30 days - incidentally we got the last two seats on the Garuda flight.
