Be careful out there!

Found out Friday that I have Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Felt achy last week and lymph nodes were swolen. Told Dr. something didn't feel right and I wanted a blood test. Came back positive of RMSF. I feel fine now and antibiotics seem to be working. This stuff can get serious if not treated (kidney failure, coma, etc.) We caught it in 3-4 days.

Just a heads up. Be careful and have fun.

When I was in the first grade I spent over a week in the hospital with RMSF. I don't remember much about it other then the fact I had spots all over my back. Very serious disease. Lucky you caught it when you did.
