I got sick over 2 months ago now. It wasn't an "emergency" so I didn't get seen immediately. Had a fever, headaches and eyepain for a week and a half

Now they bring me in, tell me I might have had dengue, so they pull out more blood (after already checking for typhoid and malaria) -- this is due to the fact that if I did have dengue, the next time I get it would be even more severe
