Yes, there has been a flu bug going around. Seems to be a tough one.

But "rombe hueso" (break bone" is another matter. That is the name often given dengue fever because pain in the joints and bones is one of the identifying symptoms. Erickxson, your symptoms sound more like dengue fever than gripe.

"Dengue has a short incubation period - often days, usually less than a week. The signs and symptoms of dengue include a sudden, rapidly climbing fever, a severe headache, nausea & vomiting, loss of appetite, rash and deep muscle and joint pains. The disease is nicknamed 'breakbone fever' for these last two symptoms. The rash usually shows up 3-4 days after the start of the symptoms and begins on the torso, spreading out to the face, arms and legs."
