RE: MY PERSONAL JOURNEY WITH ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPOTTED FEVER (RMSF)
Everyone should read this. I take a couple of lessons away: watch out for rashes, keep pets protected from parasites, and treat the yard. Oh, one more. Forget about urgent care. Just doesn't cut it for me. Thanks for an important message.
@agmoore thank you for taking the opportunity to read this and for taking valuable information from it that may help you in your journey. Everything in this article is very important, especially if you work outdoors and are around potential risks. IF you happen to live in one of the high risk areas, you would do yourself and your family a tremendous favor to try preventative measures such as treating your property, etc. I am consulting with a specialist on Thursday regarding such things and will gladly give you any information regarding products, methods, etc. if you are interested.
Urgent Care.....seriously is a damn joke. Good for immediate attention to certain things that are "in your face" obvious, but I would NEVER give a recommendation for someone to visit them for an insect bite or something more difficult to diagnose than broken bones or the flu. Just a way to scam insurance companies and take money from the hospitals in my opinion. They have forever lost my business!
Anyway, I hope that this article helps you and many others. Let me know if you'd like some follow up information on preventative measures and such. Thanks again for taking the time to read my work and for commenting!
I think a follow-up post on yard preparation, etc. would be helpful. My family tries to avoid toxic chemicals, but sometimes they are unavoidable. As for urgent care--a misdiagnosis just gets in the way of proper care--delays treatment.
Thanks for the comprehensive reply. Be well.
I will definitely put one together, as well as update everyone on how I do with the bloodwork and studies they do. Thanks again!
