What dengue feels like
Posted: Friday, October 25, 2013 - By Genna Marie Robustelli
The numbers show a drastic increase in dengue fever across Costa Rica. What they don?t show is how painful the virus can be.
It felt like my skull was lined with spikes, pointy-side inward, and a little man living inside my head was slamming my brain against the spikes with a mallet every time my heart beat.
That?s what my experience with dengue fever felt like, and if you spend long enough in a caf? or restaurant in the northwestern province of Guanacaste these days, you?ll hear others saying similar things. Interested to learn about other people?s experiences, I asksed around and posted an inquiry on Facebook, which produced some pretty apt descriptions...
