Before the trip there was a review of all the illnesses that can cause the symptoms (like you describe) followed by a trip to a travel physician just to make sure we knew of all the possibilities.

It could be just viral, but as I knew and got a refresher in, there are a host of other “alien” things out there now that when I went to nursing school were not on the list as possible causes! So I guess my advice is to make sure they know of your recent travels. CDC has some information on its web site, but there are also specific companies who provide detailed stuff to these travel doctors.

And, I sure hope you start feeling better soon. Your friend, Edie
