Former Houston County Deputy Sheriff Tommy Durden says he's a very sick man today--claiming he suffers from West Nile Virus.

Durden, 66, became ill at the end of September.  "I started off with nausea, headaches, muscle aches and joint pains,"  An appointment with his doctor and a subsequent trip to the hospital emergency room yielded no answers regarding what made him sick.

Things got no better for Durden.  He continued to suffer loss of appetite, chronic fatigue, and nausea. Finally, he became so sick his wife called an ambulance to take him to the hospital where he was admitted.

We wish Mr. Durden a speedy recovery and he is in our prayers.
