Hi -

I actually don't have many problems with breathing due to my exposure, but I

HAVE HAD them due to other things that I've recovered from (walking pneumonia

long before my exposure, congestive heart failure due to clotting off an

artificial heart valve, also unrelated to my exposure).

Forgive me for always sounding like I'm at a lectern when I answer you, but

we're gonna need more description when you say, 'difficulty breathing.' There

are a vast number of ways breathing can be difficult. 'Wheezing' is descriptive

enough on its own, and (if you'll forgive my dark humor and see it as laughing

with and not at you since very often mold gives us freaky symptoms that make our

doctors send one eyebrow straight up and look at us quizickally to see if we're

pulling one of their legs) while none of us wants to wheeze, wheezing should be

discern-able on an x-ray which means it will be 'real' to a doctor who will make

an investigation into what's caused it. So think of it as 'good' news. ;-)

I'll grant you it won't seem like 'good' news if you're also having seizures

and/or coughing up blood - (here comes the dark humor) I'll make an exception

and say that isn't necessarily good at that point, but if it's just wheezing

then it's probably still fairly good.

What you may be describing is asthma, but please remember I'm not a doctor and

even over the internet I can't diagnose even myself...lol. Now if it's just

asthma (and I don't say that to trivialize it - I watched my grandmother suffer

from it for 35 years, and I know it's horrible), you may actually 'win' in

getting a connection between your breathing difficulty and your work environment

(since you had mentioned that in the earlier post) - asthma and allergy and

sometimes irritation (usually gastro) tend to get attributed to mold by most

doctors. So if it's asthma, congratulations (that's the dark humor, but also

trying to help frame this as 'good' at least compared to the other choices...you

can get treatment and live with it).

Coughing up blood is generally less good than asthma on most scales of things

you don't wanna have. And less easily diagnosable. There are two separate ways

that molds and mycotoxins can git you that you really don't wanna have. The

less bad is a fungal infection (mycosis) because it can be treated - although

treatment may mean IV medication for a long, long time. My grandfather got a

fungal infection during by-pass surgery in his ribcage and not his lungs,

actually, and he had nurses coming to his home every day for a year to give him

antifungals - and they ended up doing two or three surgeries to remove portions

of his ribs. And he was LUCKY...they knocked it out in him.

But if you have mycotoxicosis, which is not infection but being poisoned

essentially, well, now you're in the mirky realm of having to see of of the

doctors who specialize in mold and attempt to follow a protocol that helps to

bind to bio-toxins to get them out of the body. Many patients have great

success with this, but mainstream doctors are mostly going to look at you like

you're a nutcase because this stuff isn't well understood and hence gets

ignored.

So if you don't mind describing a bit more about 'difficulty' and 'exertion,' it

may make it easier for folks to answer...what's happening when you experience

this? How long does it last? What do you do to make it stop?

I developed breathing problems to the extent I had to go on a

nebulizer. One thing, if one has breathing problems, it is best to see

an MD ASAP as breathing issues are signs of several serious health

problems, one being the heart. I would not take it lightly.

Yes and it gets worse from the smell of the mold.

If you see a doctor and mention mold their eyes often glaze over and from

that point on you don't get any care for what is bothering you.

I totally agree that doctors treat mold victims crazy, been there done

that but breathing issues can be a number of things. Heart problems is

one of them. Not all illnesses are mold related. I know when I was my

sickest, I would had pinned everything on mold at that time but now

looking back, there were a few things going on that were not mold

related...but, most was mold related.

I notice every time I mention " doctor " I get a rebuttal on here. I

know how doctors are about mold and how they treat mold victims with

little or no respect or regard for what is really going on. BUT, I also

feel when one is complaining of breathing issues they need to be

advised to see an MD, just in case it is something that is not mold

related. I know people with heart problems, signs are shortness of

breath and they never been exposed to mold. They are treated with

medication which has extended and made their life better.

I am sorry for all of the people I offended when I mention the word

doctor!

i have taken every heart test possible and passed them all. i am on 15

breathing medications and none help for long.

[Guest guest]

i have been through every test but MOLD!!!!!! my doctor is beginning to

be a quack to me. took my second stress test and passed, now on my

second blood work test, also took a carotic artery dye test, no

clogs.....also took a test for gastro problems and nothing.

[Guest guest]

I found a place called realtime labrotories.com that tests for mold. The Dr.

said there is actual treatment. Its in Dallas. I hav'nt done it yet but I'm not

going to put up with this sh-t much longer.

Yes - they are very good. Dr. Hooper works very hard to get testing done and he

works with Dr. Rhea who helps folks recover. After working with them for an

extended period (not on my own symptoms, but my neighbor's), I have every faith

in them - and I take it as a sign of their success that they get targeted for

'inspection' a great deal - they always pass, but it exhausts them. It takes so

little for the folks who have monetary stakes in preventing this information

from being known and understood to cause disruption in the lives of those who

are advocating for us. It's not inexpensive. When we succeed at getting this

story out about what's happening to us, they will be among the pantheon of

heroes who have been fighting for us.

Thank you,

Your never really sure if what you read on the Internet is real or a scam. I

was amazed on how Dr. Hooper has been very supportive and helpful since I live

so far away. Like about 3,000 miles away. It makes me wonder how many may

suffer from this with out help or even yet correct treatment.

thank you again for sharing
