Hi everyone, i'm useing this forum as a last resort, I hope someone can help. I've been liveing in Thailand now for about 14yrs, & every year at about the same time, when the weather gets hot, I come down with some sort of a virus. It comes on very fast, I can be feeling ok when I get up, but within hours, I start to feel very tired, bad headaches, stiff joints, especially the neck, I feel nauseous, but I don't throw up, diarrhea, dizziness & loss of appetite. Within a day or so, I get so weak I can hardly walk. It normally lasts about 2 to 3wks, but last year, I recovered & then it came back again, & I was ill for about a month to 6 wks.
Every year I go into the local private hospital here in Buriram, & every year it's the same, we can't find anything wrong, but we will give you these tablets & put you on a drip, but it doesn't do much good
Many years ago, while serving in the Army in Hong Kong I caught Malaria, I spent about 6wks in hospital & I lost 2stone in a week, to me this feels the same, except I don't have the Tempreture.
I know that Malaria reoccurs, but someone has told me that if you don't have a blood check within the first 3 days of the symptoms appearing, the virus goes dormant again, & it's impossible to trace, is this true? Because I normally wait a couple of weeks, until I can't bear it any longer before going to the hospital & if it is true, that will be why, when they give me a blood test, they can't find anything wrong.
The weather is starting to warm up now, & i'm dreading this coming back. Has anyone got any ideas? Thanks
