As a Valley Fever survivor, I have been thinking about how to help others with the experience and intimate knowlege of this non-communicable infectious disease. After talking to so many people, residents of California and Arizona who never heard of it, I realized it is time to educate the public in general.
I have decided to found this support group called, ValleyFeverSurvivor which you can find at http://myvalleyfeverstory.blogspot.com.
It is my hope to share what I have learned with you and your families. The first days of worry and discomfort can be replaced with a future of hope if you know that there is a treatment once the disease is diagnosed. In the meantime, in order to avoid catching its spores, avoid being exposed to windy weather wherever the soil is being tilled or where there is an ongoing contruction.
