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.

ValleyFeverPublisher: A New Support Group Created for Valley Fever Patients, Families, Friends, and Treating Physicians

In 1-justpublished4you, ValleyFeverPublisher, ValleyFeverSurvivor's Blog Posts, ValleyFeverSurvivor's Links on December 11, 2008 at 4:26 pm

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.
