Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Well, my mold was remediated. All the sheetrock was ripped out of the garage and replaced. The mold was removed from the basement. Both areas were cleaned and hepa-vacuumed. The ducts in the entire house were cleaned. Parts of the house were dusted and vacuumed even though then never tested positive for mold. Why then, am I still reacting? Will it just take some time for the air of the entire house to clear? Will things eventually get better or was the $20,000 I just spent useless because of my extreme hypersensitivity? Although the garage and basement had tested positive for stachy and other molds, the interior of my home never tested positive for mold, but I constantly had bad reactions. I was so hopeful that the remediation would help---but it has not. Has anyone out there gone through a remediation and still remained as reactive? ....Jeri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 It is true. Its been a year and just a little bit of mold affects me. Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 The reason for no feedback is fear: lawyers for "the other side" are able to use the information in these groups against the people who are using them.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Janet, Sorry I have not replied to this post. I guess one of the main reasons is I don't Have all the answers to treatment that actually works and what doctors are preforming these treatments. If I had knowledge of this type of treatment I would have answered you Janet or called you. There have been many suggestion made on this board on all forms of treatment and as you know what may work for one person may not work for another. We are all in the same boat. All I can say if a doctor is willing to try something new and you are willing Go for it. I know you are very sensitive to many medications so I can not respond to this type of treatment that he is proforming that I know nothing about. It sounds like to me that it might be worth a shot. If it works let us know. We are all looking for that miracle cure. Good luck. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Janet, you have may email address and phone number.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Janet, I already tried to explain to you what would happen to me if I were living in the circumstances you describe and you didn't respond. So I figured you didn't think this applies to you. I have lived in places that were spore plumed from an outside source and it felt exactly as you describe. I felt slightly less terrible during weather change by staying inside next to your Hepa filters and finally came to the conclusion that I was only feeling better to the degree that the Hepa filters reduced the relative exposure. I felt horribly trapped and felt like I was being attacked by everything and everywhere and even the very air I breathe. This is not a situation conducive to improvement. I kept moving until I found a place that wasn't plumed and took nothing with me. I know from re-exposure and re-emergence of symptoms that nothing less would have resulted in the recovery I experienced. Outdoor spores can easily turn into indoor spores as soon as they drift inside and I can't tell any difference between them. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 , I have always answered your posts and this time I was asking about a drs. protocol, not where I lived. But thank you anyways. Some of us cannot pick up and move around all over the world. I am not in that moldy basement any more but still have the ill effects.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Try having your home tested again. During remediation, it could have been contaminated. Also, if you haven't had the remediated areas of your home tested, I would suggest they get tested too. You won't know if your home was actually remediated properly without testing. I would also suggest you use a Certified Industrial Hygenist to be sure the testing is done properly and the results are analyzed properly. Anybody can test for mold. A C.I.H. follows certain protocols for different tests. These include : Chain of custody, properly labeling where each sample came from, how long a test(air samples)should run for, and handling procedures to ensure the sample isn't contaminated among other protocols. I am not a CIH, but I am a Certified Mold Remediator and I wouldn't trust somebody with less qualifications then a CIH to test any of my jobs for a post remediation test. And this is just to get a post remediation clearance. Your testing for your health. They aren't very cheap, but what is your health worth. He might even find other things going on that could be causing your symptoms. You can find a CIH at: www.aiha.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
