Dear Jeanie and Anyone else who is interested:
My daughter and I also lived in massively high amounts of all
the TOXIC MOLDS. It was in the millions of spores per cubic
square foot... We were EXTREMELY ill while living in this
condo.8 7 years. We were shredded in litigation because I found
those with the most money win....We lost everything.Never
received comphensation due to my firm filing 2 weeks past
statutes of time limitations. I can relate to how sick you are
and were because I have been out of my mold for 7 years and
still suffer nearly everyday. My daughter now 12...and I both
have MCS...everytime we walk into an environment that has mold
and or scents in it we get our symptoms back. I have been on
meds off and on for 7 years. Mainly anti fungals...We have good
days and bad...on the bad days we/I just have to take it easy.
It has been hard to find a home or apartment that has not had
high mold in it so we have moved frequently and left much
behind. I was also a healthy, social,fit individual with a high
IQ before exposure. Not so anymore. BUT..I have NEVER given up
due to lack of MDS...neurons for not educating themselves on
how to treat and test individuals ill from mold. It angers me
to meet so many of them in CA and read about so many in our
country.
I have researched treaments in the alternative area as well as
Westen medicine to cure or make my illness less than it is.
LOL...What a job that is! Still I will never give up. I even
bought an Infra red sauna that is used for detoxing metals in
the brains of chemically injured individuals and autistic
people. That's my newest attempt at feeling well. It's odd
because regardless of the illness, on the exterioe I still look
healthy. Most people would never know what my daughter and I go
thru daily and do not care to know. Chin up...research
lots...try unconventional therapy's...supplement...try B-12
injections and lots of them. My memory seems to be better after
7 years...I almost cried when I recovered some short term
memory. Specially since the defenses NEURO MD..told me I would
NEVER recover my memory!!! Because it was damged due to
chemicals. Off the record of course..He liked me. Also try not
to feel sorry for yourself. Be happy you are still alive!!!
Enjoy your life as much as possible on your good days and
strive to help others with the same illness you have when you
are asked...Educate them..My best to you and yours...as I
said ,,,been there ,,,done that and am still doing it!!! Hey my
exposure was a concealment by the owners of a VERY LARGE
CORP...all they had to do is say yes...your tests were
toxic...move...they did not and my BABY...and I stayed....7
years...they sold the complex...of course without revealing the
damages...Lovely people huh? Hang in there all of you and stay
away from the molds as much as you can. We have had to have
EVERY home/apt tested when we have moved...You'd be shocked at
how many places have had these fungi's. ALl but one and I have
not tested...wonder why???
