Desperate question

[Guest guest]

Dear friends I find myself at a crossroads with my illness and need

some very serious advice. First let me say that I am disabled and

have only begun the SSA & SSI procedure. I have nothing financially

and my parents are getting very close to bankruptcy dealing with

trying to get a grip on my illness.

With all that in mind, I have explained in prior posts details of my

illness but here is where I am getting overloaded and don't know

which way to turn. In the last 9 months or so my labs from Dr. X have

taken yet another dramatic turn for the worse. When the issue of the

black sputum I am coughing up (which is now constant)I was sent to a

pulminary specialist who is familiar with fungal exposure. He did a

broncoscapy and did not find any of this black sputum during this

procedure. He metioned ABPA and said if that was my problem then

indeed he would not have found it with the procedure he did. he

suggested I have a skin test done which I have read about many times

here. I inquired with Dr. Hooper from Real time Lab in Dallas and he

was very interested. He also wanted to get the biopsy done by Dr. Y

(the pulminologist) because it was only tested for cancer and Dr.

Hooper wants to test it for aspergillus and/or other things?. His lab

states he can find the same results either from the skin test but

also from a urine test and that is his suggested starting point. I

ssuspect due to cost. I then tried to get Dr.X to Order the test to

be told he did not use that lab because his results could not

be " reprodused " . I don't know what this means but since I am in the

dark in all of this I am asking for your help.

Is ABPA the only illness that can colonize or keep you ill? Is this

one skin test going to tell me anything other than if I have ABPA? Or

is there the possability that there is something else, or more that

needs to be checked. My fear is that if there is more than Just ABPA

than if there is a negative result to that test that something is

going to be missed. Either way, thus far there is no explination of

this black stuff I am coughing up.

I know this is long but any suggestions would be GREATLY appritiated.

Dear unitedstatesvet,

Please check out Miracle Mineral Supplement. I have taken it a couple of

times and I believe in the science. It will kill any pathogen. Also it was

recommended to me by an MD who is also a naturopath.

Sorry to hear about your problems. Did you get the Contrast Sensitivity Test?
