Guest guest Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 I have been off this list for well over a year. I was living in a very water bound, mold infested apartment with my husband for about six years. We got nowhere with lawyers and were trying to buy a house when my husband took very ill. He got emphysema " overnight " then suffered several minor strokes. Finally he had a major stroke and died in my arms in a hospice. I don't know if toxic mold can precipitate a stroke but lately it seems I've been learning that other of my friends have also suffered " mini strokes " , young people but I didn't get a chance to ask if they had any mold exposure. I am now 500 miles southwest of our sickly apartment in Ft. Worth and a year and a half later, still have a serious case of toxic encephalopathy which will not likely improve. Recently, I've had episodes of hyperventilation as I did every morning in the moldy apartment and am beginning to wonder if the apartment I'm in now has a hidden mold problem. An apartment at the other end of this building has a known mold contamination. Also, I'm in a wheelchair now from L4 and L5 in my spine going out of whack from, I'm told, twisting wrong. I have never heard of someone becoming paraplegic in a years time from twisting wrong! Something must be radically wrong in our environment for all this unheard of stuff to be happening without precedence. I'm not blaming it all on toxic mold but sure would like a LOGICAL explanation!
