Not a pleasant disease. Been there and done that with Dengue (Breakbone) Fever. It really does feel like every bone in your body wants to break if you are touched. Bad thing about it?

Dengue fever

WHO Dengue
Malaria was very common during the Civil War, among other mosquito-borne maladies...

It was a while ago but I can honestly say it was absolutely horrid. After the acute phase and I was able to go back to teaching school, I would tire very easily. At t morning recess and at lunch time I would take a nap in my classroom so I could make it through to the end of the school day.Sheesh!! Glad you are better.
