It's a horrible disease. The fatigue and joint pain is unbelievable. Valley Fever is Fungus of the lungs from the Ariz. air. I had it a year ago and now it is back. . Im on Fluconazole again, which means hair loss (I'm a female... boo hoo).There is also depression and confusion and being on edge. But I can handle this because I know where its coming from. It's just the disease. Thanks

A Z pack (azithromycin) is only for bacterial infections. it wont do anything for Valley Fever unless you have a secondary bacterial infection. We can thank our big Haboob that came through a few weeks ago. (at least those who are in the Phoenix area) I, too, live in AZ. I'm in Peoria which is in the Phoenix metro area if you are not familiar. Where in Arizona do you live?
