Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Just wanted to let you know that I've only had 1 migraine since starting the dehumidification in my bedroom over a week ago. This is another miraculous turn of events as I've been struggling with daily migraines for weeks on end for quite some time now. It seems apparent to me that moisture must be a seriously exacerbating factor in my illness. Since I'm responding so well to the Amphotericin B and gentamycin spray, it would be a pretty reasonable guess that I'm dealing with a fungus and/or moisture loving bacteria. This also makes sense of the success I had relieving brain fog by adding big air cleaners in my house a couple years back. I used to have severe brain fog all the time and it was absolutely the worst in my kitchen. We discovered mold under the wood floor caused by a broken pipe that had been leaking for years. Once we got the floors up and the mold dealt with and let the air cleaners do their job, the brain fog went away and I could hang out in my kitchen normally. But thanks to my sinuses becoming so overly sensitive after the baloon sinuplasty, I've come to believe that there's mold in the dirt all around the outside of my house because every time I stir it up I end up with a serious headache. And there's no way I'm going to be able to remove all the mold in the neighborhood. But dehumidification and air cleaners seem to be doing a really good job on the inside. Not to mention the nasal spray which is going to the most inside space of all, the inside of my head. Apparently, Dr. Shoemaker, and the Mold Warrior have been onto something all along. 's been preaching extreme mold avoidance for years. In my case, I know for sure that I'm also dealing with bone eating bacteria, specifically staph (along with pseudomonas and strep) but it seems that addressing the mold in my house and finally finding something to address it in my sinuses as well (despite my ENT's negative mold tests), and removing moisture from the air I breathe with the dehumidifier, are all contributing to a big relief of symptoms. Doesn't Dr. Shoemaker says we need to get rid of the staph to deal with the mold. Perhaps we need to get rid of the mold to deal with the staph as well? Or maybe he says that too, I don't recall. Anyway, I think they're connected. Anyway, I'm highly recommending anyone with inflammation issues do what they can to address the possibility of mold or excessive moisture and see if they experience the same kind of relief I have. What I especially love about this, other than feeling so much better, is that I'm dealing with the causes of inflammation directly, rather than doing something like Benicar which turns the inflammation off by messing with the way my body normally functions. This feels so much healthier overall, and I feel better than I have in ages. penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Penny, I haven't mentioned this before, because it didn't seem to be the main problem but I have increased gingivitis the last two years. I used to not have this problem at all. It just keeps getting worse. I imagine this infection is also playing a huge role in whatever is going on in my head. Do others notice this symptom? a Carnes > > Just wanted to let you know that I've only had 1 migraine since starting the dehumidification in my bedroom over a week ago.
