The rash started to fade the day I was supposed to go to the doctor, so I didn't bother. A coworker told me her daughter experienced something similar and it turned out to be chikungunya virus. I researched my symptoms and that came up as did Zika virus.

Anyway, whatever it was is pretty much gone now. I hope.

Why would you think you're OK if you symptoms disappear?

My wife's got a cousin who is an infectious disease specialist at a big hospital.

She had great stories :zomby:

My point is that it's great to make fun of things, but some things you should take seriously.

Look up an infectious disease specialist, and waste that $200.

Let the expert tell you're OK, not some random ho wearing a white lab coat.

You'll buy the pedal later.

I've had chikungunya... the joint pain is rediculous and stuck around for quite a long time... I couldn't crack one of my knuckles for easily a year

I would get a blood test for sure. A rash may disappear but the virus can settle somewhere in your body. You could be sitting on it right now.
