I have only had Dengue Fever once.
It knocks you around. I could not sleep as the fever means you body alternates between shaking with cold to feeling very hot.
I had no strength, so I could not walk more than 10 metres without stopping to rest.
I had no appetite, so I could stare at a bowl of food for hours.
I tried to return to my office job, but I had to take two weeks sick leave.
I lost two stone in weight and I did not feel 100% for six months.
The doctor in Kuta misdiagnosed my illness as a sore throat!
