I have some bad news. My doctor told me that I probably have dengue fever. there is no cure for this and no vaccine since it is hard to create a vaccine for dengue fever since there are four types of the virus: Den-1, Den-2, Den-3, and Den-4. Luckily, it is usually not fatal. The fatality rate she told me, was 1%and 5% for hemorrhagic dengue, which is more severe.
My doctor recommended that I just get plenty of rest and fluids, and wait for it to clear up on its own. She told me that all of the symptoms match up and since dengue fever is transmitted by mosquitoes, it is very likely that I have dengue fever. To be sure though,she's sent in a blood sample to have tested. If it is dengue fever, they'll also test it to see what virus type out of four I have. I'll post my results when I get them back.
