Shu,

My wife has all the symptoms you mentioned, plus many more. She also

has been experiencing the " burning " pain in arms, up across the

shoulder blades and across the back of the neck in the soft tissue.

When she placed a cool/cold cloth on it to see if that would help,

it caused her unbearable pain. The way she explains the burning is

like you would have if you just got burnt by steam. Dr.Shoemaker has

heard of this symptom several times from mold patients and other

biotoxin indused illnesses. What I've often wondered obviously it's

a CNS complication, if this could be diagnosed or misdiagnosed as

RSD. Cause she experiences some of this pain in her legs also. I am

aware of several people on this board and other aquantances that

have RSD. (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy)

The thinning of the hair is a common symptom (unfortunately.) With

you being so sensitive to many different things you really need to

be much more aware of your surroundings and the foods that you eat.

Everyone has warning signals that something is not quite right, it

could be tingling in the lips, fingers, toes, or swelling of hands

and/or feet, burning of the lips or ears and there are more. You

really have to be aware of these signals. This is the only step you

can take to learn what you have to avoid. A chemical or mold hit

normally reacts slightly different and you will learn over time the

difference between the two. Only you can do that. Listen to your

body, you know it better than anyone else.
