New to the Group: Can you relate to my story?

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

My name is Snyder. I am 29, a cook, dancer and

lover of singing, and meditation. I am currently

living in Sonoma County, Ca.

As I child a had very good health and when I moved to

Berkeley, CA in 2000 I began getting frequent

cold-type symptoms. I lived in a room that had toxic

mold beneath the carpet (I don't know what kind of

mold). I was in the room for six months and I had

frequent (daily) sinus pressure, sinus headaches,

daily fatigue, difficulty thinking (brain fog), and

occasionally I had heart palputations and shortness of

breath.

I moved out of the room and sought other housing, but

found it very difficult as I developed moderate MCS

(Multiple Chemical Sensitivities). I would get brain

fog with automobile emissions, watery eyes with

formaldehyde, etc.

I moved to Vermont where I grew up and lived with my

parents for 6 months where I began to improve, but I

continued to have sinus headaches and some fatigue. I

moved back to California and decided to relocate to

the country (Sebastopol). I experienced better health

than while in Berkeley, but I still had frequent sinus

headaches, and fatigue. After a year or so I developed

extreme anxiety, and had what I thought was

hypoglycemia.

The next year started having shaking and spasms when I

rested. I would have jerks and spasms that would move

my spine, mostly around the lower area of my

head/upper neck. I aso would feel energy at the base

of my spine that I identified as Kundalini energy that

would travel up my spine. During this year, I had

extreme emotional releases of intense grief, anger and

fear.

Currently, I experience mild shaking (a few minutes

each day), I experience Sensitivites to chemicals,

some brain fog with pollens/molds and I have chronic

sinus congestion. I get mentally tired (brain fog)

everyday around 2:30 p.m.-3:00 p.m and I sleep for

anywhere from 1 hour to 3 hours. Some days I rest for

5-6 hours and I feel weak in my muscles. I never

really know when I am going to get mentally tired, and

it is very difficult to make plans/hold down a job.

I also experience regular tension related pain. It is

pyschosomatic in nature and moves. (Sometimes in my

shoulders, sometimes in my sinuses, etc.)

I was told by one doctor that I have a fungal

infection. I changed my diet so that I now eat very

little sugars (including fruits and carbohydrates).

This has been very helpful for my sinus congestion.

I am wondering if there is anybody out there who has

had similar symptoms? Has anybody had luck with

different protocols for fungal infections?

I am also wondering if anybody has had any luck in

relocating. I am curious how much the

molds/pollens/chemical pollutants etc, are aggravating

my sinuses/taxing my immune system. Has anybody had

any luck in relocating? I am considering spending some

time in the Prescott, AZ area to see if it helps. Does

anybody have any contacts there?

I would love to hear from anybody who can relate to

this story or parts of it and who might offer some

advice.

Thanks so much!

Many Blessings,

.
