Zika Virus testing


I just got back from the beautiful Bahamas...with several mosquito bites. 7 days later, I came down with fever, sore throat, joint pain, though no rash or red eyes. Do I have Zika? 

There are soo many articles out there about Zika virus testings and how they work BUT how do you go about getting tested???

I went to the state and county health department website and there are no clear info of how to get tested. 
After ton of trips to Dr office, urgent care centers, health department + many phone calls (where I had people from the local health department hung up on me!)

Here is how I got my testing done and I wish there is an article or someone out there to tell me how easy it is:

**note: This is a PCR test, it is only effective within 7-10 days of the symptoms onset.
**note: Labcorp is available in most states

Steps:

1. Get an appointment with your doctor as soon as you have the symptoms (fever, rash, joint pain, red eyes, fatique etc).  They usually occur 5-7 days after the bite, when the viral load releases.

2. have your doctor order a lab test from Labcorp with test # 139600 just like this

3. Go to Labcorp, get your blood drawn (only 1 vial!) and urine collected (10-20ml)
4. Result within 3 days. Viola!

I hope this information helps someone who just got back from a nice lovely vacation in an area where  there is Zika transmission. It took me a lot of driving, calling, waiting and a bit of tears to find out.

Love
ooxxoo,
Amy

Say Goodbye to Summer

Wow it has been the coldest summer in Maryland. Someone told me that this is the coldest summer since 1880s according to the weather record and he seemed serious about it.

This summer, I have been working hard making orders for wedding season. I feel so fortunate that That's Mine boutique is successful. You can ask my husband. I never complain when I have to stay up making orders. There is no other jobs for me that would be this much fun and rewarding.

Life has been eventful and not really at the same time. My husband and I are currently looking to buy a home. And we have found nothing! so discouraging.

Let me share with you some of my favorite photos this season.

Super awesome bridemaids

Until then! Say goodbye to Summer. BYeee
