Re: Re: I'm getting better!

[Guest guest]

Glad to hear you're feeling better! And thanks for saying so. It's not always

easy to remember that things can get better. Er...it's not always easy to

remember anything at all, come to think of it. But I'm looking forward to it!

Things are going much more slowly for me. But I figure, if I'm still at a point

where even 1 skipped dose of CSM is noticeable to me, then I must still be

carrying a load of toxins that are just barely on the edge of retreating into

the manageable zone. I did much more this week than I have done in quite a

while, located a couple of specific places where I get mold hits, and I'm really

feeling it.

It was an amazing feeling when my mind began to clear! It's very difficult

to explain to anyone unless they have experienced the same thing. I would

have to make notes for my notes just to get through a day of things to do. It

was horrible!!!

I never had to take the Actos.

Sue

Thanks, isn't it a relief when you can begin to think again? I didn't

realize how much we take the ability to THINK for granted. It seems

like such a simple thing, until it's messed with. Has he ever had you

take Actos? The CSM definitely has helped, but my recent gains have

been from Actos.

Thank you everyone for your private e-mails and forum postings. I can't

wait for the kids to see Dr. S. My daughter (10) will have a much better

life if she can get her mind to work again. It is just awful, to sit and

watch her daily struggle just to think of things her 6 year old brother

knows better than her. Her self esteem is gone. Her eyelashes are gone, as

this is a nervous condition she has now picked up from frustration. We see

him 2 weeks before going back to school. I hope her struggles will be less

like the experiences I have heard here. How wonderful if she could just

remember what 3+5 is without having to count it on her fingers. How to

spell her name without having to stop and think.

Also, I am using all of the info. everyone has sent me. Binaca was scared

to go as needles scare her, can't blame her after all the blood test she has

had to take here. But, I read some your e-mails to her and told her that

this time it might really help her, and that this doctor actually knows what

he is doing. So, hopefully peace will come to her.

, (6) he's another story. When he see's a needle coming he goes into

this sort of hysteric thing. Like something I have never seen. At the

hospital it takes 5 people including myself to hold him down. Then after it

is over, he doesn't remember a thing. Kind of weird. So, we'll see what

happens with him.

Well, thanks again everyone. Your support has helped us get thru this for

the past 4 years.

How good to know your kids are also able to get some support here! I think

they'll like Doc Shoemaker, and I know he cares about what's happening to them

Please let the kids know that when they stay strong and win, they're helping us

grownups remember that we can do it, too.

Thank you for your suggestion. The school had started this 2 years ago.

But, not with the support team I wished for. Then this year we had that

mold episode in her portable, and told them that if they would listen to me

and let me help I would not sue them. (in so many words, not quit that

bluntly) So they did. We have now had the main school tested for both of

my children, and it is clear of mold. Then after 2 years of trying to get

them to start a 504, out of the blue they called me, asked me to come in as

they were starting one for her for this coming year. Now all we need is a

letter from Dr. S, stating she and her brother have these problems and they

will start her in their program for children with disabilities, but they are

going to use a different term for her. This will allow the school to bring

in outside tutors for her. They also put in her 504 that for the remainder

of her life in schools she needs to attend a mold free environment, and if

that is not possible, the school district is to provide her and her brother

in home tutors for the duration or their education. For all of this I am

very very happy. But, Bianca is more relieved than any of us could ever be.

When she heard what they had done so far, she broke down crying with relief.

She was scared everyday while attending school, that mold would make her

sick again. Which, it did for a few months. But, along with the school

district we fixed it. Portables will no longer be used in our district, and

I am working with the district to set up protocols with in each of the

schools.

So, life for us at this moment is great as far as school goes. I wish

everyone else had the good fortune that we have had here. The fight is hard

with districts. We just had the blatant proof, right in their faces proof,

that mold can cause my children to become so sick that it disables them.

They got to see it first hand.

Thank you again for you suggestion. I wish I would have known about this

group when all this first started, it could have been a savior for us. But,

atleast we have all of you now, and you have us too.

Beware if you have a tutor come into your house. If they bring any books or

other materials with them they can make your children sick at home.

Everythiing should be new and brought from the school bldg. Even the tutor's

clothes

could be loaded with mycotoxins. The school could order new books and have

them sent directly to you. I'd ask Dr. Shoemaker what he thinks.

I second that.

Thought I'd just drop a line and let everyone know I had to change e-mail

accounts. My other one was not getting all the postings. This morning I had 7

in this one, and in the old one not any. So, if you e-mailed me and I didn't

respond, please feel free to send it to this account. I wasn't ignoring you,

just didn't get it.

Hi Jules,

I hope you can go and I hope he can help you get better. Yep, I

agree, I've begun to think that our health is the single most

important thing in a person's life. Without it nothing else seems to

make a lot of difference.

Hi ,

We have not seen Dr. S yet, but have an appointment. After we sent in the

paperwork with the initial fee's they were able to give me general idea of costs

for the kids & codes. But, said they couldn't be certain as to which tests they

were going to have to run or how many.

Will your insurance cover the cost if you have a referral to use another besides

Quest?

I believe I agree though, with the$5000.00 quote. I believe I was told $3,500

on an average, depending on how many labs they need to take.

They are very nice there. When you send in your paperwork, write a note and ask

them to send you each lab code. Then you can call your insurance and make sure

what is covered before going. (just a suggestion)

[] Re: I'm getting better!

Can anyone who has been to Dr Shoemaker tell me the breakdown of lab fees by

lab? ie How much for the Quest tests, how much for the other labs he uses? I

ask because my insurance only covers Quest, so I'm trying to figure out how

much the rest of it will cost me out-of-pocket. Is there anyplace on his

website that will tell how much each lab test costs?? Thanks!

From: " ridofmold " <getridofmold@...>

The lab testing so far has been billed at about $5,300. but it looks

like the insurance company will pay much less than that for the lab

tests in the end. The costs for Dr. Shoemaker are separate from that;

you'll have to contact his office for information on that. He takes

Medicare patients, if that helps at all.
