Re: MCS brought on by toxid mold
Posted by jeanine moseley on 11/25/05
Sorry, the first 2 post,s I did wrong and lost my first
letter .
so before trying again, I desided to read several post,s.
I,m not sure weather to laugh or cry. and yes, my spelling
is not good and I have problems with consentration. my
spelling was not great before I spent almost 8 years living
in toxic mold,and yes,I call it toxic mold,and I noticed that
the word (toxic mold) was used when describeing the homes in
new orleans. and I can see why people like insurance
company,s do not want to give it that name, but anyone who
has lived in it and has illnesses from it well agree it is
toxic. mabye someone can try to convince me otherwise, but
please save your breath, I,m not in the mood to hear it. I
came here looking for help, I went from a strong, healthy
person , to one that is ill constantly, to one extent or
another. I have , M.C.S. ,fibromyalgia, double vision,
caterax in one eye (from vaculitis, I believe), stomach
problems including diearria with blood, allergies, sinusitis,
asthma,post stress syndrome. before I got out of the moldy
home, It hurt to be touched,I had severe back pain and could
hardly walk because of infections in my back, I had night
sweats, day sweats, twitching in arms and legs, numbness, I
had a itchy, burning rash on my back, neck, arms and head,
all my hair was falling out, I could hardly breath,I could
not see,I did see black spots on a mostly white blurred
canvas, I threw up several times a day, diearria with blood,
several times a day, my memory tottally shot, my ears swelled
shut, sores in and under nose, throat was raw, and I could
list a few more things. the first three years of livng
there, I would have these symptoms, tottally at radome,
usually for 3 days at a time, mabye a good day or 2, than it
would come back. and around the first few weeks of april,
when its rainy here, I,d fell better, some symptoms were
severe at the beginning, some got worse with time. you
inhale mold sposes when mold is dry and becomes airborne,
while mold is wet, it is growing and not putting out spores,
therefore you have some relief. homes with carpet are bad
because mold spores love carpet, hardwood floors well help,
air test well vary, and I believe are useless to a point, if
done while mold is wet they may not show any reading at all,
if dry and windy, you will get a better reading, and
depending on how your house is build and the sorse causeing
the mold, and the types of mold, you may not see it or smell
it untill it,s to late and the damage is done. and I had
never even heard of toxic mold until I found out it was in my
home. there is a point where your body stops fighting and I
believe thats when toxic mold takes over and sticks you with
illnesses that can kill you if you dont get out. I wont call
myself a expert, I have much to learn, but I believe that
people who live threw this (like any new found illness)
should have experts at theri door, wanting to dignose them
and they should be able to get help for free, instead, it
appears that any treatment, dignoses, or any experts in this
area, want to charge a arm and a leg.
I can say that toxic molds,( and/or the mycotoxins they
produce) has ruined my life. I can,t even seem to funtion
well enough to put the effort into this letter that I should
or could. I came here to try to find help, for proof for my
lawsuit no. 1, because I have lost everything and it was not
my doing. no.2 to hopefully find a specialest that well take
medicare and medicaid, because I haven,t been able to work,
and this whole mess has ate my saveing,s.
thanks to my first lawyer, who said he did toxic mold cases,
but didn,t have a clue, I,m not sure that the medical reports
that I have well even stand up in court.
and what I do have, was gotton on my own, while my attorney
was doing nothing. he admitted at his bar hearing that I
was very ill. but he was to lazy or uncareing to try to
find me help. I have now been out of the toxic mold, 3
years, and have moved 5 times trying to find a apartment that
I can somewhat funtion in. I funtion by advoidence, because
Im sick of being misdignosed, givin medicines that make me
sicker, being poked and treated like I,m crazy, which, I
thought I was, before getting out of the death house. for
all you non believers, how can you explain the fact that I
thought I had lost my mind while in the mold home, and have
improved , sence getting out of it.
how can you explain why, I never had any allergies before
living in toxic mold and am now allergic to many, many
things. how do you explain why I used to be so healthy and
now I am not. How do you explain the fact,s that everyone one
that has been exposed, has certain illness that are more or
less severe, depending on what molds they were exposed to,
how long they were exposed and how heavy the mold was. how
do you explain that all the information collected so far, by
the few specialest,s out there, show the same symptoms and
illnesses. yet these people, dont even know each other. I
challange all you nonbelievers to come live in my moldy house
for 8 years and see if that changes your mind.
