I just spent 11 days in the hospital, 8 in ICU, after contracting and being diagnosed with Legionnaires. Fever hit 104 and I was in real trouble for a couple of days until they got me stabilized.
I actually ran the Peachtree Road Race with early symptoms, but had no idea what was going on.
I have no idea how I contracted it, but have reported in to the Cobb County Health department all my comings and goings for the 14 days prior to diagnosis. They are looking for any link by comparing any other cases reported.
I am just wondering if any of you have had the disease or know someone who has and how they got it. My own assessment is that I got it from using a hot tub.
