Popular Post Sheryl Posted March 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2023 Oh did I ever. Really bad and not like the way I normally feel when sad and depressed. Something altogether different. Everything, even cartoons in the New Yorker, struck me as tragic. It is a very well known feature of dengue. It resolves with time but very gradually. Can take as long as 1 - 2 months in some csses. Just keep reminfmding yourself it's part of the disease. 9 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NativeBob Posted March 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2023 Got it twice or thrice over couple of decades in SEAsia. Flushed that <deleted> with 101 Pipers. Tasted like 7 types of <deleted>, but didn't care. Feels horrible, but bearable. Recovered within second week. No doctors and meds.

phuketsub Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I had it twice: The first time was a living hell, living alone in a 5-story shophouse in 2000. I really thought I was going to die. It took about a month to get over it. The second time was 2019, before Covid. This time I was hospitalized for 2 nights, but it wasn't as bad in the early stages as the first time. However, after I recovered I had excruciating arthritis in my hands. I suffered for a long time before trying prednisone, which was like a magic elixir. Both bouts were far, far worse than Covid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl gives good advice: it's part of the disease; miserable, but it will pass.. I've had it twice. First time in the 90s (in Laos) was much worse than second time about 10 years ago (in Bangkok). Felt pretty down the first time round for about a month. But it did get better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SportRider Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Yes in KL in 2009... Was hospitalised... A very bad experience. Out of the worst after 10 days. I never got any kind of depression though, so don't know anything about that... Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndhomepattaya Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissman53 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Yes, I got dengue 15 years ago in Hua Hin. I was two weeks at San Paulo Hospital and lucky to stay alive. It took 3 months till I could walk stairs alone. After 6 months I was ready to do normal life again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
