Thanks to Everyone on the Board

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone on this message

board who have had the courage to post their stories, symptoms,

predicaments, difficulties, etc.

It takes a strong person to insist that what they are experiencing

is real, and an even stronger person to talk to others about what

they are experiencing. I can't imagine what this experience was

like for people before us, who experienced toxic mold before this

message board was in existence.

These posts have helped me and my family more than you can possibly

know over the last two years. I really appreciate it, and am very

grateful.

Amazing what open and honest communication can accomplish.

This is actually my second time relying on an internet-based message

board for support/answers/information regarding a difficult,

primarily unheard of, health-related situation.

The first time was eight years ago as my mom was facing a heart

transplant due to viral cardiomyopathy, and I was her primary

caregiver, 24x7. There wasn't a lot of support or information

available, and heart recipients were few and far between, and

located throughout the U.S. and the world, making it difficult to

connect with people experiencing a similar experience.

It helped me and my mom immensely at the time, regarding what to

expect, what's normal/not normal, and the challenges she would

face.

To this day, she contines to keep in touch with fellow recipients

because of the message board, and is doing well today because of

people sharing their stories.

Thank you all so much for your contributions.
