Hi guys. I don't want to cause anything, I just want to know did you

and Sharon just get out and live in your car or pitch a tent. I would

like to hear about it. I know I still don't have the money for an RV

or to get medical care.

Hey ,

We lived in a rental house for eight months that our insurance company paid

for. It was really expensive because we have two kids, two cats and two

dogs. All we had was a bed each, a dresser each, a couch, a loveseat and a TV.

When we could tell that our insurance company was going squirrelly on us, we

knew we would not be able to afford $4K per month for rent and we would soon

be homeless. So we bought another house before our credit would in question

from a lawsuit. We got a very funky loan that our payments were much less

than one could rent a house for. We had to go buy all new furniture, bedding,

dishes, etc on our credit cards. Even though this house is clean, I was very

sensitive to everything for awhile. I slept outside on the deck for three

months straight. I spent as much time as I possibly could outdoors. Even when

outdoors, I would sleep with a fan blowing on me to get more oxygen. I

attribute much of my regained health to this fact. The rest, to antifungals and

a

mold free diet.

Our problem stemmed from a bad remediation, cross contamination. We were

only in there for three days after the remediation. My daughter has had

numerous complications, just from that short period of time. I, not knowing

any

better and already sensitive, was in the house one day when they were testing

the air after the HVAC was turned on. That is what really got me. My illness

became severe, primarily from a short term, sudden blast. I got whole

enchilada of symptoms. But I also got some good clean air and some proper

medical

treatment very quickly. Even with that, it was about a year and a half

before I felt back among the living. And I would say, only the last six months

that I would consider myself a healthly person again. Although I still have

some weird, yet minor, symptoms. I get edema very easily.

I had a girlfriend who was going through this at the same time. She chose

to stay in the house. Her sinuses are so permanently screwed up and so are

her lungs. She had a really rough time. Did a little stint with some pain

killers to try and mentally run from the issue. That landed her in the psych

ward.

We both went through a nightmare experience. I got out. She didn't. I am

well today. She is not and never will be again.

So that is my story. And yes, we were able to afford another house. As

tough as it was for us, I recognize it is even tougher for others. That's why

many of us do what we do to help those who are even more disadvataged by the

situation. But, there is nothing we can do to help you if you don't get out of

what is making you sick in the first place. And to watch this happen over

and over again, is heartbreaking. I think one of the biggest things that those

of us who have been through it can do to help those still in the eye of the

tornado, is to drive home the point: No matter what, if you are sick, Get

Out!

Marcie,

I know doctors will advise on anti-acids but remember doctors work 'against'

your system. Sometime that is necessary but stomach acid is important to

properly digest food and ALSO to kill microbes in your stomach. If your

belching is due to, say, Candida overgrowth, which I believe mine was,

suppressing the acid helps the Candida or H Pylori or other microbe in your

stomach or upper digestive area to flourish.

Barb,

What do I do then?

I took Digestive Enzimes for awhile but they stopped helping. The pain is

extremely intense. What else can I take?

Thanks,

Marcie
