Ross River virus sucks!!

Have any other IIS'ers suffered from Ross River virus??

It's made me feel like crap and extremely grumpy, only started coming good in the past week. And of course it never goes away once you've got it, can come back at any time.

Cheers,

Justin.

Yes, I got it about 20 years ago. Terribly fatigued constantly, irritable. Lasted about a month. Got a repeat attack a couple years after that, and a smaller recurrence last year.

Not pleasant at all.

Hi Lewis,

Yes been about a month for me too, the fatigue is the worst, nothing left at the end of the day after working.

Cheers,

Justin.

Got Ross River about 20 years ago. Felt like I was walking on cotton wool and my feet and all other joints were bloody sore for about 2 months. You never fully recover from Ross River. I still get minor bouts at least once a year.
