Still waiting for approval for disability etc.

[Guest guest]

For those who remember me, I had the crawlspace makeover last Jan.

where air handler/ducts, insulation, wood ETC. was contaminated with

mold. Pics are on photos here and Rhonda should be on the pics. I

had the insulation taken out and air handler and ducts and mold

remediation company remediated then I had the crawlspace encapsulated

dirt and walls and industrial dehumidifier and sump pump by Regional

Waterproofing then a new air handler and ducts put in. The

encapsulation totally seals off vents which just creates more

humidity in crawlspaces. It is 20mil polyethylene and white. Then

inside washed everything I kept, hepa vacuumed tons of stuff and

covered mattresses and wiped things down and threw out tons of

things. Last checked in 2005 I had one brain lesion and had tons of

symptoms where I got some releif from then got slammed more with

toxins and here I am trying to get away from mold before it does more

to my health. I wish I had started on 4 CSM's and not the 2 my doc

prescribed. But breathing the myco's while taking CSM isn't going to

help much.

Been a while since I've been here but it took a month for my

application to be reviewed by State Medical Board and then I get a

letter asking for a complete evaluation from a psychiatrist which

pissed me off but I hear that is common. Now I have to wait until

Jan. 9th for my appointment and have it with a neuropsychological

center. Been told by others it can take 4-6 hours.

They have let me keep working while waiting for approval which isn't

doing me good b/c the work place is contaminated with mold and

abestos and they have made attempts to remove it but didn't do in

under containment and just turned the hvac off and used bleach on

some areas and then painted over it. Wrapped some kind of foil

looking stuff around the abestos. The hvac is contaminated here also

and if the system is shut off and on reaks a horrible musty smell.

They won't admit that the hvac is contaminated but they know I

know.

Now that my home has been remdiated and all the work I did inside

trying to decontaminate, I walk into work and within minutes get the

pins/needles/shocking, the cytokines attacking. I'm taking 4 packs

of CSM daily but have new symptoms that started in June with horrible

pain/pressure in back of head. Doc called it occipital neurolgia and

gave me shots in back of head/neck but there are still painful spots

back there. They called these nerve blocks and that hurt. It's

inflammation/swelling of nerves. I have chronic fatigue and numbness

and just have been bad off lately. I tried wearing a N95 mask this

week and that sucked and anytime I needed a drink or eat had to take

it off. Getting another MRI tonight to see if anymore brain lesions

ETC. I react horrible to weather fronts and seems to just get

worse. I wish they would make a smaller n95 mask. After being out

of work place over night and with CSM, I have no pins/needles but I

do have the L'Hermittees shock on neck which is consistant with

having lesions. My neuro said he thought my symptoms are from mold

but he can't tie in the lesion which I find ignorant. Enviro doc

gets it but sure had my medical records messed up and told me over

and over he suggest I see Dr. Shoe which I cannot afford.

If Dr. Shoemaker uses the diagnoses of toxic encephalopathy for

lesions on brain, how does this look on an MRI any different from

other white matter.

If I get denied after waiting this long and getting more health

damage, I'm going to fall over. I can't spend 5 more years in here

waiting for retirement. I'm out of all leave and late or not here

most the time. It's hard to believe a whole year has gone by come

Jan. that I had the crawlspace makeover and thanks to this group got

a lot of great advice! Rhonda
