Dengue Fever
Dengue fever (wiki it), caught it on Holiday to the West Indies. Disease is pretty much like having malaria with the added bonus of causing massive haemoraging from everywhere. Ever woken up with you eyes, ears, mouth and nose bleeding? I have. Also makes you want to vomit every 15 mins but due to not eating just makes you wretch instead. Cleared up after 2 weeks but left me with no energy and feeling tired for a month. Lost 2 stone in weight.

and to compound matters the goverment denies the disease existed in their country, so i had to be treated for a disease that "presented all the symptoms of and should be treated like dengue" but it couldn't be reported as such, beaurocracy eh?

Dengue Fever...
We get this where I live in Far North Queensand, Australia. A colleague had it and said that he could not believe how sick it made him feel. It took him nearly 8 months before he was fully recovered and his weight loss was unbelievable.
