Just had two odd days of 'flu-like sickness' that came without warning, fairly high fever (and that established itself at it's level in under 2h's) only to 36h later have it drop down with the snap of the fingers...like someone flipped an off-switch on the 'attack'.

Not saying that it was the Mexican Flu (was under 39 degrees so never went to hospital), but it was odd indeed...and if people are hit in that speed from 'fine' to 'bad fever, pain, dizziness' as I was...well, wow.

Sounds like dengue fever to me...i had the same but i never got it checked by a doctor.but i stay near the old airport and when i walk with my dog in the morning i get attacked by black/white striped mosquitos and these one bringing you dengue....but if you had the dengue now than you not get it again i was told.

Signs and symptoms of dengue fever usually begin four to seven days after you've been bitten by a mosquito carrying a dengue virus. These signs and symptoms can vary, depending on the form of the disease. More severe forms of the disease usually begin the same way as the mild form (dengue fever), then become worse after several days.

Dengue fever signs and symptoms typically include:

    * High fever, up to 105 F
   * A rash over most of your body, which may subside after a couple of days and then reappear
    * Severe headache, backache or both
    * Pain behind your eyes
    * Severe joint and muscle pain
    * Nausea and vomiting

Dengue fever rarely causes death, and symptoms usually get better after five to seven days

I had Dengue in April, and a friend has it now.
He says my description was spot on.
In fact I diagnosed mine correctly well before the doctor got it right,
and he had a sheepish look coming back with the test results.

I had the last Swine Flue in USA back when, 1968 I think, or the 70's one,
and have had North American and European strains of flue.
Dengue has little similarities except the sense you have creatures  
or maybe corkscrews running through your muscles with dengue and a few flue strains.

FGlues don't give you "Bone Break Day"
where you think your muscles will contract enough to snap long bones.
Different animal entirely.
