Re: fight or flight response

[Guest guest]

I believe I was in just that kind of mode, sort of a non human auto-

response daze. From as far back as I can remember. Gradually, over

the course of years, I developed, a " pot-pouri " if you will, of many

physical, mental, and sensory illnesses, as a result of my employment

in a SICK BUILDING.

From the moment I walked into the building, I did not realize my

many illnesses and ongoing maladies were due to the continouous cycle

of chemically toxic exposures. And, while being in a repeated state

of exposure, my physical and mental status has become eventually,

bankrupt.

In May of this year, my state of homeostasis had become so poisoned

by these toxic chemicals, that I had what I would considder to be

a " TOXIC OVER-LOAD " with a final breakdown. My anxiety and blood

pressure levels were sent into an emergency status, and remaining

still, in this continued state, until July, where then, my muscles

became weak and I was then unable to function. Finally becomming

totally disabled.

It has taken 4 months to realize the cumulative detrimental effects

on my physical and mental state. Being subjected to such a chemically

toxic atmosphere, such as in the form of the known presence of MOLD,

at my workplace(s). My mind has since slowly come to a state of

recall where I am able to see through a cloud of 20 years. Since my

abscense from my workplace(s), I am now for the first time in 20

years without a sinus headache and sinus pressure, and am able to

take a very deep breath! I had no idea my lungs could expand and feel

so free and clear of wheezing.

I hear that, I remember crying and telling some family that I thought

I had lost my mind. but I had mo idea how close to the truth that was

and neither did anyone else. how can you tell someone what has

happened to you when you dont understand it yourself.

trying to research it was the brain injury is a whole other story.

wouldn't it be great if all doctors were trained to reconize the

first signs and symptoms.
