Testimonials of Appreciation for VFS

Thank you for all you have done. More and more people are becoming aware. Here in the Midwest (Illinois) it was basically unheard of. When we had daughter in ER with such pain in her joints she could not walk, and a rash on legs, the ER Doc was spent maybe 5 mins in room, said it was some allergic reaction, and was sending her home. Thank God for a nurse Practitioner who listened to me, and looked up VF online. She convinced the Doc to look, and he let her call an Infectious disease Doc. That one admitted her over the phone. We educated every nurse and CNA and anyone else on that floor. I was at our family doc last week, when you check in they always ask if you have traveled out of the country. They have now added “Have you traveled out of state” Thought that was interesting. Maybe the doctors are starting to listen. I hope.

Sharon Filip, thank you so much for sharing – sharing ALL you have shared! You ground me. People ask why I wear a back brace & all that goes with it – I tell them I have Valley Fever & what it has done to me & still I’m looked at like ‘that’s crazy’ but with your support I know it’s Not crazy! It is real & not just ‘in my head’. Thank you & know you are GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

I would also like to thank you for the information you’re able to just give. It sure helps knowing somebody knows about it to where we can be our own Advocate with the doctors…a lot of the doctors don’t know a lot about it so thank you again.

At 34 is when I heard of it in a newspaper article. In 2005, at 35 I contracted VF within 1 year of living in AZ. I was first diagnosed with pneumonia, then lung cancer, then VF. I seriously felt like I was going to die. I’ve never fully recovered. The admins (Sharon and David) in this (FB) group have given me SO much information!

Rene Prysok-Trisilla

I am so happy I found this website, my 13 year old son was diagnosed with valley fever a year ago. Before they diagnosed him he was in the hospital for 20 days. After his lung had collapsed, they went in and drained the fluid. At that time they tested the fluid and said he was positive for the valley fever. He has been on the Diflucan and just got off of it about a month ago, for the past month he has been having a very hard time breathing and feels heaviness on his chest. They are sending me to a lung specialist. I am so happy to see this website to read and get more information on this site.
