reason of dengue fever - #17560
I am really worried about something that's been going on with me lately. A few days ago, I started feeling super tired, and then I got hit with this high fever and awful joint pain. My whole body feels like it’s been through a ringer! After some tests, my doctor said it might be dengue fever, which totally freaked me out. After I went home, I couldn't stop thinking about the reason of dengue fever, like what causes it, and if there was anything I could’ve done to prevent it. How can I get dengue fever if I live in a place where it hasn't been reported much? I hear it's from mosquito bites, but I thought I was being careful! Should I be more afraid of getting bitten or is there more to the reason of dengue fever? I read it can cause serious stuff, and now I’m worried about recovering — is the fatigue and pain normal, or is that a sign it's worse than just dengue fever? I don’t even know what to think anymore, and the idea of dealing with this for a long time is kinda stressing me out. If anyone has more info or personal experiences about the reason of dengue fever or tips on recovery, I would really appreciate it!
