Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Haven't been here in a while and just had to get a loan for $11,000. My crawlspace and hvac were eat up with mold and I had to have mold remediation and then waterproofing with encapsulation of crawlspace, dehumidifier and super sump pump, and then new hvac. It was stressful and glad to know I have cleaner air coming thru hvac. The air handler was gross with mold all over inside, in ducts and on outside ducts, floor joist, under vapor barrier ETC. Took a week for the makeover. Now I'm told I have to wash everything in side, hepa vac soft items like couch ETC, wipe all hard surfaces down. Not sure how I'm going to be able to do all that and not recontaminate things but was told I had billions of spores in my house and under. How scary is that. I noticed when heat came on this fall I got extremely bad even tho LDN had helped me tremendously. I changed water filter under house to my whole house water system and looked up and mold was on insulation, floor joist and was told mold was in air handler last summer and I put two and two togehter and has also smelled a sour smell coming thru hvac and I realized I'm being poisoned by the mycotoxins/biotoxins from spores and have toxic mold. I couldn't afford a industrial hygenist to find out exactly which kinds I had but know they are toxic. I bought that house new and been there over 12 years with my first symptoms starting 1 1/2 years of living there and went down hill ever since with last 3-4 the worst and now I know b/c the spores were proliferating like mad! The mold remediation company put air scrubbers in my house that were LOUD but that was suppose to removed some spores from my house. Made me sick and dizzy and bad symptoms b/c it was stirring up the spores and dust ETC so I had to leave house. Most people that have experienced toxic molds told me to sell house and get out but that is easier said than done and I'm broke and in debt too. I have a damp crawl space that led up to all this with improper water drainage. AC guy said also my drain line in air handler was improper backing up water instead of draining. I'm pretty sure Stachybotrys was in there and been told most likely aspergillios and penicillium ETC which give off nasty toxic mycotoxins/biotoxins. Also been told I need a doctor that knows how to treat this. There is one in MD and one in SC but I'm going to ask my neuro if he can consult with the MD doctor and follow his protocol. I'm going to stay on LDN b/c it has helped me thru the last year regulating immune system. Mycotoxins/biotoxins destroy the immune system so must be war going on in my body. I'm just glad I found the culprit and at least got the place waterproofed and new hvac. Just wanted to let people know that mold may be your culprit also. The toxins from molds will give brain lesions amdn mimic MS as well as attack other organs also. I know more about mold than I ever wanted to I can tell you.
