Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 I am new to this group and there is so much helpful information here! I was diagnosed with SBS four weeks ago and I have the fungi growth in my left sinus and left ear. I have been sick for about three years. The mold colonies in my old office are Candida (43) and my new office-Aspergillus (2). (I'm no longer in the office with 43) I have been through several pulmonary tests and I do not have asthma or bacterial pneumonia...very good news! However, I have difficulty breathing; not short normal breaths but the deep, filling breaths. I have had people tell me that it's anxiety and I considered that but there is a direct correlation between my difficulties, humidity, dampness, and exertion. Maybe it is anxiety...I don't know. Anybody else ever experience this? Any advice or insight would be very much appreciated and helpful! Thanks, J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 OH yes...I cant take even short breaths without pain in my lungs and back. Sometimes it feels like there is no oxygen in this apartment at all. --- carrie_j00 <carrie_j00@...> wrote: > I am new to this group and there is so much helpful > information here! > > I was diagnosed with SBS four weeks ago and I have > the fungi growth > in my left sinus and left ear.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Thank you to Joe and Bobbie and those who responded. I am feeling kind of sad now thinking that it is related, esp. with the name of the Dx Bobbie has. Hope it does not get too bad!

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 , Thanks for the info. It's strange since my husband doesn't seem to have the breathing problems when he exerts himself, i.e. he completed a triathalon this summer and was fine...it is more when he is sitting around that the problems start. So, I will let people know if it's CMT related once further tests come back. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
