I ended up with subcutaneous swelling in my legs, and looked as if I had recently had a pair of sprained ankles. Took most of a year before my socks stopped leaving deep indentations.
I then developed Plantar fasciatis (which is like carpal tunnel for the feet), whenever I went out for exercise. Felt like walking on broken glass the next morning. All gone now, but it lasted almost a year.
A friend, who is usually very sharp found himself unable to think clearly for about six weeks after returning to work.

These people who see it as another type of flu seem quite demented when you consider all the places within ones body and mind it damages.

I hope BIT225 is as good as hoped and soon on the market. I'd like to head off that nasty virus in the very early stages.
