Bottom line- Looking for an infectious disease Dr with West Nile experience. We're in DFW
Little more background below
During covid 2020 with a wife that was high risk and 3 year old not in daycare we spent time each evening outside to give the 3 year old some outside time. Long story short my wife got West Nile early July 2020.
That was right at a year and a half ago. She had pretty bad symptoms for about 5 months, regular fever, brain fog...the works.
Numerous times since she would get to feeling bad again for a few weeks but we chalked it up to fubromyalgia....except she would get this rash on her forearms that she recalled from west nile. She never converted as far as we know from IgG to IgM or os that vice versa...you get thr point either way
Long story short it got bad enough over the holidays that she went back her regular doctor and they said it's the west nile and they escalated her case to the top general practitioner at her Drs office.
Right after that she wet back to see her thyroid Dr for a regular checkup since having half her thyroid removed and they suggested she see an infectious disease Dr and recommended one if the handful they like.
We've done some digging around since and the West Nile knowledge base seems pretty thin.
Does anyone know of an infectious disease Dr that has some meaningful experience with West Nile? We're in the DFW area.
