I am 28 yrs. old and have become recently disabled and my doctors don't know why.
In April, I became very sick with a fever of 104 degrees, shallow breathing, shortness of breathe, severe headache and vision problems. I Was put in Intensive Care in critical condition. My lungs had collapsed and I was septic. After being hospitalized for a week, my vitals were stabilized enough for me to go home. I had to go home on Oxygen. I have been diagnosed with Obstructive lung disease with a lung function of 129 years. I still require to be on Oxygen 24/7. I have also developed tremors in my hands and head, chronic pain through out body, memory loss, confusion, vision problems and slurred or stuttered speech since April. I have gone through alot of tests including brain scans and MRI's of my brain. The results of the MRI taken after realeased from the hospital showed a significant change in my brain from the ones taken while I was in the hospital. The doctors think I have a very rare disease but they can't identify what it is. I am scared and fear that this is turning me into a "vegetable". Can you please help me??!! :cry:

Hi Kelly -
If you have visited or live in the Southwest states, you might have your doctors check you for coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever). This can be done through a cocci bloodtest and they will look for your titer levels and any antibody to the disease which may show up.
