Guest guest Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Hi all, We have a friend that has been ill for over 11 months now. I spoke with him yesterday, and for the second time I talked about mold as a possible problem. All the doctors he has seen have not been able to figure out what is wrong, they have sought everything from Pneumonia to who knows what. When I told him they probably gave him antibacterials or steroids, which can make the problem worse, he said they gave him a steroid pump, and he quit using it after two days because he couldn't breathe. He also has mold in his work place. Now he is going to see a lung specialist, and I'm afraid they will just diagnose him with something like institiated lung disease or something, and not isolate the real problem. I'm about 90% sure he has a mold issue, and I told him he needs to find a mold specialist to either rule it out definitively, or to find it and treat it properly. Please help, our local hospital can't diagnose apendicitis, (sad but true, but that is another story), their original diagnosis of him was a heart attack, when they ruled that out, they went with Pneumonia, now they just don't know what is wrong with him. Sad, you don't have to pay a mechanic that can't fix your car, but these money-mongers still want their pay when they admittedly don't know what is wrong. Does doctor Shoemaker do long distance disgnosis? Does he take new clients? Is there someone in our area that anyone here may be aware of that my friend can see? He is so sick and tired of being sick and tired. Some of his symptoms are, insomnia, labored breathing, (sometimes extreme), neurological problems, headaches, etc. Please anyone, we are so concerned about our friend if he doesn't get help soon, Dan & Carmella Dunkin The Gourd Reserve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
