I am currently suffering from Dengue and am very frustrated/teary/excruciating pain/fever/diarrhea etc. The ER docs sent me home with some Lortab, Theophyllin for nausea and Prilosec for the effects from vomiting. I feel that nothing has changed and I am so exhausted. While bedrest is all I can do for myself right now, I wonder if there isn't more that can/should be done medically. What about this dehydration? How long did this last in others? When does the severe joint pain subside? Any suggestions are very appreciated.
