Living in the BVI on a sailboat for the last 4 months, got very few mosquito bites, used deet, etc and got Chikungunya.

Had the fever for a couple of days then the aching joints- luckily it hasnt slowed me down much, the aching is usually in the middle of the night, wrists, hands, knees, ankles--- have a had a few miserable nights- I take ibuprophen or advil and that helps...

Time is everything; five minutes make the difference between victory and defeat.
