Re: Re[2]: Re: Mold Testing

[Guest guest]

Sue,

Pat gave you some excellent advice. My firm diagnosis to exposure to toxic mold

was not detected or confirmed until I had the antibody titer blood tests done

for Stachybotrys and Aspergillos, as well as a CAT Scan of my Lungs which showed

Actelectasis of the lungs, Interstitial Lung Disease, and a tear of the Aorta at

the root of the Aorta.

The best tests which stand up in legal situations and are considered to be the

most accurate and reliable are CAT Scans and MRI's.

Sue, I went through the same thing. Thought the SOB was my heart. Doc

sent me for echocardiogram where I found out my heart was fine.

However, the problem was interstitial lung disease - discovered

through CT scan.

Yanni,

What is Actelectasis of the lungs and Interstitial of the lungs.

I was diagnosed with Granulomatous of the lungs and body. ( Fungi growing in the

body and the body produces hard shells over the fungi and it calcifies.(sp?).

Would it be related to yours or just another name for the same thing?

Thanks,

Marcie

Marcie,

Actlectasis of the Lungs means that the 1) the Lungs have collapsed, and 2) that

the small alveoli at the bottom of the Lungs- i.e. the " Lung Filters " have been

destroyed. This makes it difficult to breathe, requires oxygen, and also makes

me susceptible to infections/pneumonia.

Interstitial Lung Disease is where the tissue between the air sacs of the lungs

is affected by Scarring or Fibrosis (I have scarring of the Lungs Bilaterally-

Both Lungs)- and both lung air sacs become brittle or stiff.

Interstitial Lung Disease is also called Interstitial Pulmonary Fibrosis.

No cure- the only way to correct the damage to the Lungs is to have a full

double lung transplant operation.

Here is a good source for information about the Lungs and Lung Diseases:

www.lungusa.org American Lung Association Website.
