I had a severe case of valley fever 3 years ago when I returned home to AZ, was hospitalized for 7 days and had 2 lung biopsies thought I had lung cancer, test negative.I am now back in Vermont and have been weak, chest pain, continual cough, can it come back? I feel like I did when I was sick, I am a 55 year old woman.

valley fever is a disease that will linger if it is allowed to do so. often, the body can fight this infection so that medical treatment isnt necessary.

however, if untreated, victory is not always guaranteed. the infection can spread from the lungs and to other parts of the body, making comprehensive treatment a challenge. this is especially true for patients with a compromised immune system.

usually, if valey fever is successfully treated, the patient develops an immunity. i wonder, if having. battled the disease 3 yeara ago, why you are having symptoms again- had your original treatment not been successful?
