I got Ross river fever in Sydney a few years back...I was lucky as I was only affected badly for a couple of days.. extreme joint pain and unable to move as joints seized up. I know another person who got it in Sydney and has been left unable to work, and he was in his mid 30's with a property maintenance business. I though this was a tropical disease!! I have since been diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica, same symptoms but according to the experts it is unrelated. This time I have long term problems. Jim
Sorry to hear that Jim. Hope everything works out for you.Quote:

That's why the health authorities recommend anyone with the disease must not go to Northern Australia. Don't know what happens if they live there....Quote:
