Loni > It's not like I just walked out of Mold Hell and jumped into my custom " safe zone " and instantly started climbing mountains. I was in the most aggressive experimental antiviral chemotherapy program for CFS " at a point where most people commit suicide " , as Dr told me. I crawled outside and at the beginning, my walks were about twenty five feet. I thought that some people might find it compelling that someone who was measurably ill in a NIH study program as verification, could have found this level of relief by extreme avoidance. Instead, I get attacked by CFSers who say this proves that I never had " true CFS " and similarly attacked by mold victims who say that since they can't climb mountains, this only proves that I wasn't a sick as they are and my experience doesn't apply to them. My situation was such that family and responsibilities could not have been maintained anyway. I had no other options. It seemed logical to me that people who felt they had been driven to the point of no other choices left would be interested in the details of an extreme avoidance lifestyle. Instead, my reports of the improvement I've experienced are rejected as irrelevant instead of an indication that perhaps I might have learned a few techniques that others are not practicing. It took me years to develope this strategy, design the tools, and learn the skills that got me to this point. After what I have been through, I am not about to apologize for my success in mastering this difficult situation. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 One thing you might not have thought of is house or Apt sitting. Even if you insist on staying in a place that may never be renovated- and if it is , how could you stay through the renovation? When I lived in the big city, people were allways looking for apt sitters, and these were usually clean, nice apts. In the country, even more people look for sitters, on nice big estates, or clean,tidy houses. I had linned up two houses to move into last year, even with my dog, but a friend came through and I moved in with her instead. My breathing was so bad that I was frightened to live by myself. But if you can walk and talk, I am sure you could find a free place to live with minimal responsibilities- just checking on a house or apt the same way you would in your own home or apt. Even at my worst I could present a coherent front for alittle while. This is the perfect time of year to look, as wealthy people often go away in Jan, sometimes for several months.As soon as you start collecting a resume of apt sitting, going from one place to another could become a reality. Your apt being renovated is a perfect excuse to give for needing a place to live. I put an add in a local paper. I have allways been self-employed- so I have never had a job to use as a refference for anything-.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 My mom had to move out of her condo cuz of mold so she found an ad that provided a room rent- free in a beautiful place and she walks the dog several times a day. She put most of her stuff in storage, and will deal with that later whether it can ever be cleaned or not. Luckily the people go away a lot. --- In , " carondeen " <kdeanstudios@v...> wrote: > > One thing you might not have thought of is house or Apt sitting. > Even if you insist on staying in a place that may never be renovated- > and if it is , how could you stay through the renovation?

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Bob, Your comments are completely uncalled for. If you would like to take it up with the person through email, please do so, but don't use this group as your personal podium to attack others. I will decide who stays and who goes, along with conversing with other long time members. What has happened on other boards is their problem, not ours. In my opinion has helped many on this board since its conception and has expressed to many of us many times what has worked for him and what is one of the main action that many of us need to take in order to recover and that is avoidance. Whether we can go to the extreme he has taken, that is each individuals decision. The main purpose for this board is so we can communicate with each other without fear of being attacked, to lend support, understanding, compassion and immediate guidance in the right direction. Because of the direction this type of dialogue has taken we have lost 2 members. One of which was a " newbie " . KC , It wasn't meant as an insult. I respect & admire what you have done > > Loni, his ego is large enough! He only cares about being right and it is obvious that he does not care about the people who are ill. why is he even allowed on a list with sick people? Go climb a mountain and leave us alone. > > Bob > > > __________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 I spent part of Christmas visiting people in an area I identified as a " Sick Region " several years ago. It's gotten worse! There is an area of the house which is a new addition, which had a small leak which was quickly fixed - and yet it is the worst part of the house. The occupants, who are are not showing any overt signs of illness tell me that a house nearby made the cover of the local paper when everyone became ill from a colony which got started after a TV dish was installed and the installer nicked a pipe with the screws. The owners lost everything, (as usual) and the house had to be gutted. It's been resold and the new inhabitants seem to be doing well but the " sickies " have disappeared. It looks like mold plumes in Sick Regions rake entire areas, just looking for that one slip-up, that one mistake, a leak, the slightest opportunity to get a colony started. Under conditions like this, I anticipate a whole new " generation " of Desperadoes. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
