Confusing

I think I’m pretty much back to normal after having dengue fever. I just wrote about the first 7 days on my other blog (Stop looking in my ear, take my blood!). It’s about how I got sick and it was a bit confusing because I also had an ear infection so we thought that’s why I had a fever. So I didn’t have a blood test until it was nearly over. Dengue fever isn’t a big deal for Khmer adults, so my doctor, who is Khmer didn’t seemed concerned to take my blood (to check for dengue), even though I’d had heaps of dengue symptoms.

It was also a bit confusing as an expat nurse told me a particular symptom I had was NOT a dengue symptom, but others sources (other ppls experience, websites) told me it was. And that particular symptom was the first thing I had that I was pretty sure didn’t come from an ear infection. I’ve had ear infections before but its never give me red itchy arms and legs!
