ValleyFeverSurvivor Publishes Valley Fever Epidemic Book on Valleyfeverepidemic

The founder of the patient advocacy and support,  valleyfeversurvivor, is very familiar and knowlegeaable about Coccidioidomycosis.  David Filip’s mother, Sharon Filip is a survivor of the disease. Thumbs up to Sharon!

After his mother’s valley fever infection, David dedicated his time to researching this lethal disease. The results of his research have been published in “The Valley Fever Epidemic,” a comprehensive, complete and up-to-date book written for the lay person on the impact of Coccidioidomycosis.  That’s what I call the revenge of a good son.  He also published “The Smart Patient’s Handbook” and “The Official Valley Fever Survivor Medical Glossary.”

So far, many infectious disease doctors have reviewed it and written rave reviews of the book.

Valley Fever is Real in Places such as California and Arizona. What’s Your Story? Did You Know You Caught it?

Valley Fever or Coccidioidomycocis is a fact of life in Arizona and California’s arid lands.  Many people who are living and traveling to these areas come in contact with the pores of this sometimes fatal disease.  Some of the symptoms can be a flu-like cough, constant fatigue, joint pain, unexplainable headaches after the period of incubation.  So if you know you have been in some parts of Arizona or California, you may want to check with an infectious disease expert.  Infectious disease experts who are familiar with the symptoms of the disease will perform a battery of tests on you to find out or rule out Valley Fever.  As a survivor of Valley Fever, I can tell you that I went through all tests for major diseases until my infectious disease expert finds out that I had caught Valley Fever.

The worst case scenario is that you may have caught the pores of the disease while traveling in California and Arizona.  You have since returned home.  And you have never been the same ever since.  You start to display all the above symptoms, just remember to rule out Valley Fever.  If left untreated and unmanaged, it could kill you.

Those who are more susceptible to this disease are the islanders, non-natives of these two places (even the natives can catch it too), Pacific islanders, people who work in the field, field workers, construction workers, anybody whose immunity is weak and who has not developed any resistance to the disease can catch it.

Considering how much time it will take to treat and how much money you will spend, it is worth knowing about this disease’s effects on your health and productivity.

 

What’s your story of Valley Fever?  Remember that you can only catch it from the environment.  Somebody who has it can not infect you.  You will catch it through your contact with these places, some parts of Arizona and California.  In California, we have Bakersfield, Coalinga, Huron, etc. which are known as hotbeds for the pores of the disease.  Arizona is also known to have many cases of this disease.

 

 

Valley Fever or Coccidioidomycocis As Dangerous as H1N1

Did you know that H1N1 was as brutal on your body as the effects of Valley Fever?  Well, ask somebody who has been affected by this drought–caused, airborne disease present in the soil of Arizona dessert and parts of California.

Despite the fact that Valley Fever is very dangerous to some groups of the population, not too much attention is given to it.  H1N1 is judged more violent. And more state and federal resources are dedicated to the creation of vaccines and other treatment.

As a survivor of Valley Fever, I would say that Valley Fever is as dangerous or even more dangerous than H1N1.
