Dengue?

Oh dear. The "flu" most assuredly it isn't. (Despite my arrogant declaration the other day.) My doctor suspects dengue. I've reached the same conclusion. I've had it twice before (haemorrhagic the second time) and nursed my husband through it last year. The only reason it deceived me this time is that the fever isn't spectacularly high. But the body aches are severe, and I have no energy at all. Spent the weekend on an excellent painkiller which had me floating over rooftops and feeling totally at one with the cosmos, and this morning will go get a bloodtest done.

So will be back to blogging soon as I feel better.

And if not, I bequeath my library to the nation.
