Tell me I'm not the only RMSFer here. That's not very comforting. I guess I could look at it like I'm a tigger ( the wonderful thing about tiggers!) In all seriousness... it's a little disconcerning.

" I'm a recently diagnosed RMSFer. I found out... thursday. And I'm on week two or three of being sick. I'm a little scared cause my headache is really bad (like, on par with day three of appendicitis), and keeps getting worse. "

" Your not alone Rbear66. I got RMSF about 2 yrs ago. I was terrified when I was first diagnosed because I didn't understand what it was. All I knew was about a month before hand one of my mom's friends passed away from it (needless to say, I cried a lot that night). And because I live in Indiana I had multiple doctors insists that my family doc was wrong in diagnosing me with RMSF. Luckily I was diagnosed before I got really sick and I'm here now (not completely healthy) but I'm here :). I'm here for both you and Sakura and will pray for you both. You both are more than welcome to send me a message if you ever want/need to talk :) "
