Basically, pain. However, Arthritis is not what I feel is a correct term for

what I have experienced, as my pain is not entirely joint or even

connective-tissue centered. It's just more the meat of my hands and feet are

sore to the point that I can feel my pulse in them, especially in the am's.

Sound familiar?

I'm doing quite a bit better with this lately, but I do use it as an indicator

of exposure.

This feels like soreness in the left leg that is in the muscles or veins

(can't tell) and is worse in the AM's and when it has been immobilized. Sitting

makes it worse, too. Feels inflammatory in nature. At times the pulse is

uncomfortable, as is touching the skin, etc. I was wondering if fibromyalgia

might be setting in. This all seemed to start from a MCS problem (5 weeks ago)

in

a sealed building that had a terrible chemical (dye) smell in it - probably

from the rug. I have MCS from mold exposure - which confounds most of the

doctors, as I have mentioned. This whole scenario is so maddening - no matter

what you do it seems to act up. It would be so much easier with understanding

by the professionals and everyone we know - or anyone - gets so aggravating on

a daily basis to deal with people who don't want to believe or be

inconvenienced by my illness. I think the neighbors are " miffed " , by the way.

Girl you better get yourself to Dr. Richie Shoemaker in Pokeomoke, MD.

That's how I felt til I saw him. You need to get yourself better. I

don't care how you get there. Fly, Hitch a ride........ whatever......He

will make you feel 85% better. The rest is up to you with diet,

exercise, ice packs, Advil or Aleeve......I stress do not put heat on

your joints what ever you do that will increase the pain in the long run.

Your joints will do better with ice packs. The most important is

exercise in combination with Dr. Shoemakers med's..He has medications

that will filter the endotoxins out of your body.

1) Get out of the bad environment.

2) Get to doctor shoemakers and get treatment

3) Stay out of the bad environment

4) Exercise and eat right. Exercising can also release endotoxins from

your body by speeding up your metabolism. If Lance can fight CANCER we

can battle mold.....

5) Mind over matter. You will get better from this. What doesn't kill

you makes you stronger. Knowledge is POWER.... You will live to help

others with this.....

If you need to E-mail me please do so at Dydrm4Cody@...

That goes for anyone else out there. There is no need to take this

lying down. You need to fight this. This mold will not destroy us.

You need to fight, fight, fight, fight, fight,,,,........!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sincerely,

Melina F., SPTA
