Guest guest Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hi Roe, Welcome and enjoy…your story is interesting because my doc swore that I could NEVER have Lyme on tope of the ME (I do have the neurological ME) and started screaming at me about it! Needless to say, I got another doc <sigh>. Whey is it so hard for some to understand, that just because you have one thing, you can still have something else, but everything is chalked up to the one thing. Good that you have a good Lyme doc. I am so sorry to hear of your toxic mold poisoning. And I totally understand that sense of being too ill to deal with it, and it sounds like you have already done so much to eradicate it from your life, but somehow you have to, because that is what is making you so particularly ill these days. So frustrating I’m sure. What type of climate are you living in? Of course, damp and humidity really make those molds grow…I have to be very careful renting because mold is everywhere around here (West coast of Canada). It is much harder to fight it if you are surrounded by it <sigh>. But you do know partly at least what to do…get on your antifungals and take it from there…some good, natural antifungal supports are Garlic, Oil of Oregano, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Vit. C etc. Is it possible that it is left over in your system (ie, you treated it and got it low enough to go asymptomatic, but did not totally eradicate it and now it has re-bloomed in your system), and not coming from your present environment? Search your place EVERYWHERE for mold and destroy it, if any! The other thing is that I found that the best cure for sinus infections and troubles is simply nasal lavage, or using a Neti pot. This is a simple way to rinse any buggies out of there with salt water. I totally cured a 3 year run of them (in early ME) this way, when the bloody drugs could not budge it, and I have never had a recurrence, just use the pot whenever my sinuses feel a bit iffy. Good Luck to you, and I hope that you are feeling much better very soon. Aylwin xox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You thought you did everything you possibly could. What in the world could explain blood showing toxic mold after moving to a clean environment and throwing away everything you thought associated with toxic mold? I'm sure the blood tests don't " say " toxic mold, exactly. Could the doctor be misinterpreting the blood tests? What do the blood tests actually show? What are the components of blood the doctor has associated with toxic mold? What are other possibilities of the same blood test result? Getting rid of things and moving can be symbols for moving forward in pursuit of better health, a new life. You may need to move again. I have mold, but I know I cannot move. Even if I had the money, I am not sure I could handle the stress of people in my house doing the work of ripping out walls and so forth. Nevertheless, I am improving in interesting ways while remaining disabled, pursuing what I can handle, optimistic about recovery, eventually. Good luck with help and direction going forward. toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Before CFS I had several nasty sinus infections. The 1st one I was put on antibiotics. Then I got a Neti pot (now available at CVS pharmacy or maybe Whole Foods). Another nasty sinus infections and I nettied about 5 times a day with a few steam facials and the infection cleared right up. I try to neti about 3 times a week as a preventative measure. It feels a bit weird at first but it really works. Good luck Lois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
