Hello, I'd just like to tell you about haemorragic Dengue Fever which is, at the moment spreading in Indonesia where I live. I actually live in a somewhat remote area of north Bali and run a small hospital for the poor. Where we are seeing many patients with suspected Dengue. Dengue Fever is spread by the bite of a type of mosquito. There are four types of dengue Fever but I got one of the more serious ones. Had a massive bleed from the intestines as I hobbled to the toilet thinking it was a bout of gastro, which can happen with A.S. I estimated the amount of blood loss to be in excess of 600mls. My daughter called an ambulance and I was taken to hospital where I was given blood tests and put on a drip to improve my platelet count which was very low, a sign of Haemorraghic Dengue. Body aches and fever are often associated with A.S. so it was confusing to the doctors. After five days I went home. My daughter also caught the disease but not so seriously. I lost four of my front teeth, have rashes like A.S. but these are specifically due to Dengue and all over muscles and joint pain. I couldn't walk before this and am more or less confined to a wheel chair now the situation with my health is more serious. I need some advice please...or just a friend to talk to. Thank you for listening...Gloria

Hello everyone,
I am posting on behald of @GloriaG as she has some questions she would like to ask you all :)
"Dengue Fever Haemorraghic has similar symptoms to AS, but much worse. Has anyone experienced this, please message me. I am desperate to get better so I can take a long needed holiday in two weeks. Any quick remedies would be much appreciated. Sick as a dog right now."
Does anyone have any suggestions for her? Please share
