Dengue hemorrhagic fever
Dengue hemorrhagic fever
Hey guys, I'd like your thoughts on this. Maybe I'm just scaring myself for nothing.
I've spent the last few days with a high fever. I suspected Dengue, but I didn't take any tests. Yesterday the fever resided and I started to feel a lot better. This morning I got a rash over my body, which to me confirmed my suspicions of dengue, and I felt relieved, because it was over. Then I noticed a lot of bruises on my legs, and some of the other symptoms for the more serious Dengue hemorrhagic fever. Reading online they say you should contact a health provider immediately if you experience those symptoms.
So I feel kind of fine now, but I've read that's normal at this stage. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning, but I don't know if I should look for some other warning signs throughout the evening, if it is in fact hemorrhagic fever. Am I just being a hypochondriac?

Always "hope" but never "expect".

'No very patient or congenial'...

The understatement of the fucking decade, LOL
Is the vase under the sink in the picture to catch water leaking from the basin pipe?
