Had Dengue once and severe enough to scare the sh,,,, out of me. Once the fever broke from a solid high of 40 over several days I got excruciating arthritis first on my ankles so bad I could not get up unaided. It seemed to last several weeks. Once I started to get better I had the same experience in my hands.
Doctor never tested which of the strands I had only confirmed via blood test that I indeed had dengue.
Took me best part of 6 months to be right again.
