My father has ross river virus?

he has been suffering from it for years. He usually flares up with it every few months and becomes so tired and sore that he is so restricted to what he does. He has been to the doctor and also some natural therapist lady and nothing seems to be helping him. He is so stubborn about it too and because he has tried a couple of things and they dont work, nothing is going to work!! He wont go to see a specialist like i suggested to him i dont know how many time. AARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH painfull!! hehe. Has anyone else suffered frm RRV and what did they do to overcome it. Thanks in advance.
