As for Valley Fever, the #1 lab in the country (maybe the only one) that can positively diagnose Valley Fever is in Bakersfield as it is also the capitol of VF. They thought that's what I had too and it took many days to get the results back. As much as I see your Sig in Cochella, I doubt that's what you have in Q.
The lab recommended to me is at UC Davis http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/medmicro/cocci.html
have your lab send it to Demosthenes Pappagianis, M.D., Ph.D.
Dont need a 13th doctor 300 miles away.. my results came back negative from the lab but I was in some very isolated and questionable places up north of Las Vegas, and VF, Legionnaires Disease, and a few others so they had to check... it came back worse :(
HOWS THE PATIENT TODAY? Got a handle on the cough yet?
