Re: recoving from mold.....

[Guest guest]

I am gradually getting better.I had to find another job 8 months ago to do

that.I also developed a chronic staphlycoccus infection in my sinuses from the

chronic sinusitis.I had worked in the operating room at this facility.

I see new Doctors and am now off of two of my inhalers,no longer have to take

daily nasal steroids or Claritin.

This has been a nightmare.

I have been away from moldy basement at work for eight months now. I got worse. I became allergic to everything right down to food as well as multiple chemical sensitivities. No help yet. My next step is a kinesiologist. She sent me a bottle with a dropper in it. I think it is collodial silver. It says twice a day. I didnt know if she meant swallow? I havent had an appt. with her yet. She requested I send my profile first.

Eileen,

What type of doctors are you seeing to help you? I am so glad to hear you feel better. A year ago was different when we wrote.

Someone just told me that the main thing besides avoiding mold is to take an

antifungal, but this can be dangerous since it might be hard on the liver. So

they also suggest liver support supplements like milk thystle (did I spell that

right?). In my own experience, taking probiotics helps, just a simple

acidophilus pill every day. This also helps the digestive and intestinal

functions, and it has helped me in the past with fungal infections.

I just hate hearing that. I've never been so debilitated in my life. The worst is the toxic brain thing. It took away my ability to drive a car and all my independence. You may try juice fasting and liver flushes. Best wishes to you.........Betsy

I appreciate the response. I am a lot better than when this all began - but it's going so slow - and when I have a bad day - it's a bad day. The doctors I've seen don't know what to do so I've given up on them. I went to a doctor that I found on a toxic mold site - he understood I was sick from the mold - but had no answers. He wanted to give me allergy shots - which is basically shooting me with mold to desensitize me. I trusted he knew what he was doing and took the shot - it was not a good idea and I have not been to see him since. I have been trying to detox on my own with Grapefruit seed extract, Lemon juice, and the occasional charcoal pill. But I still have a lot of dizziness, and neck pain - along with the rapid heart beat and palpatations. It just scares me, and I wonder if I will ever be rid of all of this and be able to live a normal life again. Before this began I was working out 6 times a week, lifting weights, and in the best shape of my life. This has hit me like a ton of bricks....

I had to find a new job.At this hospital,Medical Center,in Seattle I was seen by an internist who referred me to the asthma/allergy clinic. Since I left that job my last two allergy tests(RAST)show no allergic reaction to any molds.

I have had a chronic Staph infection in my face that I have been treated with numerous antibiotics.I now mix 1/2 tsp of baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt in 2 cups of boiled water each day and irrigate my sinuses. This irrigation sure helps.I think the Staph was from my frequent bouts with exposure and reactions to the molds over a five year period.

I only take Pulmicort inhaler now.I have stopped Serevent,Flonase,Claritin and Albuterol. I also take multivitamins and Lasix for Lymphedema in my legs which are getting better.

As soon as I was removed from the moldy area I started to get better.It is not 100% but getting there.

Janet,

Neat pictures.Looks like the area behind the lockers which finally came out after OSHA(WSHA in Washington State) came out. WSHA is under the LAbor & Industries Dept. in Washington .They had the nerve to tell me in the final report that the employees were not in harms way because these areas with all of the Stachybotrys were behind lockers thus away from staff touching them.Hello!! Guess they never heard of airborne spores.WSHA did not even cite the hospital for not cleaning this area and hiding the facts.The hospital also violated my rights as an employee to make a complaint about safety issues.

Go figure.

Eileen,

I am sorry I know your comment was not addressed to me but, something you should know.

Did you know pulmicort is known for causing very serious Candida infections, this can be very dangerous and life threatening to a mold victim. Your breathing problems are a result of your body trying to protect you from the mold toxins by preventing you from breathing the spores. By taking inhalers to improve your breathing you can make your illness worse. Have you talked to your Dr. abo;ut maybe an antifungal to kill the fungi in your body instead.

,

I couldnt even handle the Nystatin. My lungs filled like cement and I turned into Blair, as I call it. That scares me as that is a low dose anti fungal.I ebded up in the ER.

Tina,

I must admit I rarely have taken the Pulmicort lately.

Two years ago I had a fungal and bacterial infection in two of my toes,at the same time that I was getting increasingly sicker with sinus problems.I did not know about the hidden mold at work then.I was treated with Lamisel for three months for the toenails.Maybe that helped a little.I had to come off of my cholesterol lowering drugs during that time to avoid liver overload.

The only thing that has really helped me is the daily nasal irrigations to keep the bright green "stuff" out of my sinuses.

Eileen ,

Have you tried citricidal? I take about 400mg per day with remarkable results. Its stops my reactions very quickly, and as long as I stay on it , my breathing is much better without the use of inhalers.

Ok. I know I asked this before but I forgot. The Kinesiologist I am going to see wanted me to do this exersize of cleaning at home first. She sent also a bottle of collidial silver. It says "homeo. three dropperfulls twice a day. It has a dropper.

Do I drink it? Gargle it, snort it or what?

Thanks for the help.
