Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever - Help!
All, Approximately 5 years ago I was diagnosed as having Lyme (severe joint pain, no fever, no rash) and placed on antibiotics. When the lab tests were returned I actually had RMSF. The treatments are basically the same, so nothing was changed. I was referred to the Medical College of Georgia and have no complaints with the treatment received. But, I have recurring bouts of about 24 hours duration every 6 to 9 months of fever (101-102), chills and joint pain. The doctors are stumped, and so am I. If anyone has heard of or has personally experienced this I would sincerely appreciate an email
