not a terrible trip to southern MD. Make a mini vacation of it and spend the

She should look into doctors in the Rhinebeck area. It's south of

Albany, but there once was a reknowned Lyme center there. Wish I could

be of more help.

I'm not sure....I do know that I had cancelled an appointment with

him (in 2005 or 2006 ?) because I didn't have a way to pay for the

visit. He wanted my medical records and was going to do blood work,

so I thought he was a treating physician. Since then I have heard

that he doesn't treat patients, so I don't know why. Does anyone in

this group know what the situation is with that?

It's an odd thing. Someone here went to see him and did all this

testing and he said she had mold illness but he wasn't treating anymore

or something silly. Seems he could have told her that up front. I

don't remember who it was.

I just know that I was very disappointed when I went all the way to Dr.

Johanning and he suddenly resigned after my visit. I waited 8 months

for the appointment paid alot of money expecting to be treated. Plus

the lawyers I had waiting for my visit gave up after hearing he

resigned. I was given a number to talk to him. It seemed like it was

his home phone. He would just answer say hello. It seemed weird.

Finally I got the report and said I was disabled and linked my illness

to the mold and he suggested sporanax (spell) but no one would give it

to me. My mom flew up from Florida so the plane ticket and then train

tickets and hotel. Very disappointed. I don't know what he does these

days. I am only telling my experience and I have heard others were

disappointed. This was sometime around 2000. ---

You're not alone. I was less than impressed with my visit to him when

he was with NYS. He was very condescending - especially about my

birds. Of course, he would have been impressed with my background with

them had he known it. He left that office and started his own

practice, one that I couldn't afford since he no longer took

insurance.

His office didn't even send my company a statement demanding 10 years'

worth of air quality reports. He gave me the papers and had ME send it

to them. Of course, they never responded - nor did he or his office

follow up on it. Disgusting!

Patilla,

You know that people who keep birds are predisposed to a host of

conditions that may be related to the tiny feathers in the air that

get into everything. At least I rmember reading that long ago (after I

sort of bonded to a friend's parrot and wanted to see what was

involved in having one myself. I ended up deciding against it..

although I love them couldn't ever consider getting one..)

[Guest guest]

I'm actually involved in a litigation for mold exposure...stachyb,

aspergillius, pencillium..My son has asthma, I have asthma, I have

had a breast tumor removed (benign), a hurthle cell thyroid tumor and

half of my thyroid removed, and my husband now has cancer. The asthma

was diagnosed before we left our home 3 1/2 years ago because of mold

and everything else was diagnosed within 2 years of our leaving our

home. Dr. Johanning is our doctor. He is an expert in mycotoxins.

So he is putting all of your medical history together and then

relates what is tied to mold exposure and what isn't. His years of

work are published and he is probably one of the tops in his field of

the affects of mold exposure on your body and your health. Hope this

answers questions.

Thanks Barb - good to know. I guess if I make an appointment to see

him or any other doctor, I will ask the receptionist if the doctor is

just collecting info for research or if he is actually a treating

physician. That would be a lot of money to spend if a doctor wasn't

even going to treat you. (I think the initial visit was supposed to

be $600, plus all the expenses of going there.....) The info gained

from this group is so valuable.

Thankfully, my health has improved from avoidance of exposure ,eating

right, etc.

Yes, the person who got all the testing that said they were sick from

mold, then couldn't find anyone to treat them...other doctors didn't

know how or paid no attention to the test results.

mold exposure also?
