Sis Janice Alvear ill with tropical disease

[Sister Alvear]

Chikungunya (pronunciation: \chik-en-gun-ye) virus is transmitted to people by mosquitoes. The most common symptoms of chikungunya virus infection are fever and joint pain. Other symptoms may include headache, muscle pain, joint swelling, or rash...I have had lots of swelling in my joints...very painful....the first days I had very high fever but fever is gone thanks to our Lord and the prayers of His people. I had to have a shot today and perhaps another shot tomorrow because of swelling.
