Re: new to group--thank you

[Guest guest]

and Annette,

On a personal note I am or was also a teacher by profession. I don't know what

part toxins played in my becoming ill - I am sure it was part of the picture.

But what I want to share is to encourage you, Annette, to get out of that

building if you have not already. Don't be afraid to lose your career. I'm

finding my life has taken several exciting turns I would never have experienced

if I had continued teaching full time. I still do tutoring and could do much

more if I wanted to. I also do biotech research for a son who is a stock trader.

I am trying to write a couple of books and I do a fair amt of public speaking

both for CFIDS and religious. The job is not worth losing everything which is

what will happen if you don't recover.

Wish you the best,

a Carnes

I really appreciate the postings on this site. My wife Annette has

been made terribly ill this year after exposure to mold in the school

where she has worked for 12 years. Because of the specific

circumstances in her case, I am absolutely certain that mold is the

cause of her chronic fatigue, congestion, and weakened immune

systems. Until she began back at work this year, she was active,

energetic, and healthy. Blood testing from Immunosciences Lab

revealed extraordinarily high levels of stachybotris in her saliva

and blood. Your postings have kept me spellbound and have helped her

feel less alone in all of this. The dreadful way her employer, the

Highline School District, has responded is a depressing, but

apparently common, story of deceit and ineptitude. Anyway, thank you

for posting messages to this site. It has become an invaluable

resource to me. Arthur, husband of Annette Shillinger

and Annette,

You are both in my prayers. I, too, am a former school teacher - who would

still be teaching if it weren't for toxic mold in my school. It is an eye

opener as I learn more about toxins and as I witness how the school district

treats me and others who become ill. It makes me very sad to see how a school

district could care more about their pocket book than the health and well-being

of

teachers and kids. Unfortunately, there are too many stories like ours.

But at least we can support each other while we are going through the

challenges we face.

God Bless,

ML

I feel for you people getting sick in schools and how the system handles it.

I got sick in a government basement. They were torture.

As a teacher who is losing my career due to mold, I have to agree with you,

a - it becomes impossible to be in the sick buildings that public schools

often are. There is no choice but to give up a beloved profession to attempt to

become healthy.
