I ask all my FB friends who have suffered the ChickV illness to add their names to this post, as I am certain they are more in number than the Ministry of Health has counted. I will start with 2 in my family, still feeling the effect of pain in major joints that make all movement difficult, fever that comes and goes, headache and general lassitude that makes a nap necessary every few hours. When I walk, I am bent over and moving very slowly, even turning in the bed is painful to my hips. I went to the doctor but he said all he could recommend was Panadol. After seeing that constant Panadol did nothing to stop 2 days of my sons migranes, I have not bothered to take any. The pawpaw juice was hard to make and tasted terrible, but did nothing to stop the illness. I am now resting and waiting it out, while burning smoke mosquito rings, as the electric ones we were using previously did not stop us getting ChickV. What else to do? The disease is now endemic in Jamaica. How did it get here from the other islands? Did the mosquitoes fly over thousands of miles to Jamaica? Did they travel here by ship or plane? How??? What is the cure? What is Govt. doing? Sister CenC Love has written a good report on how the ChickV virus affected her and what she has been using to help heal the dreadful illness. Please read it below on this page as it may help.
