Daddy's in the recovery time. The blood test did show that he got sickness with this Chikungunya fever. Daddy's eyes, joints are swollen, his skin's getting dry, less appetite at the moment, rashes are all over the body - itchiness makes him couldnt sleep well.
Daddy, take good care of yourself, drink a lot of water. Blend more fruit and vege juice to enhanced your antibody to fight it. Try to avoid to bend your joint , and skip heavy sport (paintball). This is no choice, bcoz you need to concern about the future of your life, if not, you will look like an old man later...

基孔肯亞熱（Chikungunya fever），又譯為屈公熱，於1952年被發現。此病像登革熱一樣由蚊傳播，主要傳播媒體為埃及伊蚊。人類被帶有基孔肯亞病毒的蚊子叮咬後，便會患上基孔肯亞病。患者會持續發高燒、脫水和嚴重出疹。「基孔肯亞」源自非洲斯瓦希里語，意指「彎腰」，因病人會關節腫大痛楚，不得不彎腰行走。目前世上還沒防治此症的疫苗或藥，但以往患者一般在痛苦數周後就不治而癒。
Post-Epidemic Chikungunya Disease on Reunion Island: Course of Rheumatic Manifestations and Associated Factors over a 15-Month Period.
Although the acute manifestations of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) illness are well-documented, few data exist about the long-term rheumatic outcomes of CHIKV-infected patients. We undertook between June and September 2006 a retrospective cohort study aimed at assessing the course of late rheumatic manifestations and investigating potential risk factors associated with the persistence of these rheumatic manifestations over 15 months. 147 participants (>16 yrs) with laboratory-confirmed CHIKV disease diagnosed between March 1 and June 30, 2005, were identified through a surveillance database and interviewed by telephone. At the 15-month-period evaluation after diagnosis, 84 of 147 participants (57%) self-reported rheumatic symptoms. Of these 84 patients, 53 (63%) reported permanent trouble while 31 (37%) had recurrent symptoms. Age >/=45 years (OR = 3.9, 95% CI 1.7-9.7), severe initial joint pain (OR = 4.8, 95% CI 1.9-12.1), and presence of underlying osteoarthritis comorbidity (OR = 2.9, 95% CI 1.1-7.4) were predictors of nonrecovery. Our findings suggest that long-term CHIKV rheumatic manifestations seem to be a frequent underlying post-epidemic condition. Three independent risk factors that may aid in early recognition of patients with the highest risk of presenting prolonged CHIKV illness were identified. Such findings may be particularly useful in the development of future prevention and care strategies for this emerging virus infection.
