Re: Toxic Mold - Real or Psychosomatic

[Guest guest]

I worked for eight years in a flooding moldy 100 year old basement. I never had asthma before and now live on inhalers, wear a 3m mask and can smell the mold in the soil and air vents. If I sit next to plants I get "instant " I have been tested and show positive to 15 molds and fungals. There was an environmental report hidden saying how toxic it was for a whole year before I got sick. Unfortunately we are dealing with the government here. I got sent to a witch doctor in Boston who says no one gets sick from mold and did high dosage testing. That was a month ago. My boyfriend couldn't handle the severity anymore and had me taken away by police from his house without my hepa filter air cleaners or anything. Now I cant walk. My doc up here says a severe allergic reaction can cause an auto immune disorder such as fybromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. I swell and get heated skin just like the night I came home from Boston after HIGH DOSAGE mold testing. The shipyard says I cant be sick but this basement has been locked down and people need respirator quals to go down there now. But United States Dept. of Labor says I cant be sick. We are talking Stachtbotrus,Aspergillus, Fuseriam and many many more. I am a GS 9 with Secret Clearance. I am no dummy faking it or have it all in my he ad. I crawl lately and my pschychiatrist fully believes in me as well as my ENT. Unfortunately, Workman's comp wont take that as he is not a specialist. Tests or no tests. They want to believe doc in Boston whom right now has crippled me and made me even sicker. I am moved from room to room like a guinea pig at work till I get sicker. This is NOT pschycosematic. Thanks for listening,
