Re: Toxic Mold and depression anger question.

[Guest guest]

I will so pray for you. I have just been reminded how no one in my family

understands and I am giving up myself. I have just hit bottom and so i can tell

you that despite what i am tiold there are others who understand what you are

experiencing is more real than breath itself and I am with you in spirit. I can

say no more as I have now learned words thoughts and feelings are poison. I will

indeed pray for you right now.

Hi all,

Ever since Toxic Mold got into my brain and caused toxic encephalitis

(brain swelling) and the resulting brain damage it seems like ive been

such a negative person and am quick to anger and easily irritated and

just all around miserable.

My question is for those of you that had or have some type of brain

damage or encephalitis from mold exposure have this same type of

change in moods and or behavior happen to you as well?

And for all who read this please say a little prayer for me that

atleast i can regain my Joy in life.

Thanks all!!

YES, I am quick to anger, don't laugh, worry constantly, and easily fatigued

but don't have all the other symptoms I did while in my moldy school. I

used to have endless energy, happy, and loved life. Now I feel empty, almost

without any feelings at all except I do cry easily.

I hear you both loud and clear. dont give up, dont let it drag you

down. understanding that you dont have control over this helps. keep

talking to family even if they seem death. send them info. on the

subject and tell them to read it. try to remind yourself daily that

it's not their fault that this illness is not reaconized and they

dont get it. put the blame where it belongs, we all know where that

is.

pay close attention to mood changes as alot of it has to do with

exposures to chemicals and things you might not even realize.

a whiff of perfume can turn my mood like a switch.

remember it's part of the brain damage. with me, the kevel of sinus

damage I suffered makes a easy path for immedite brain responces from

many things. washing your sinuses well help stop on slow down some

brain effects. hang in there, your not alone.

[Guest guest]

First of all, Elias, I pray for your quick healing. The brain lesions

and edema do go away with time. I never experienced a change in mood

or temperament. I'm still the same miserable person I was before. LOL.

Its a NATURAL reaction to losing everything you hold dear.

When you get your life, job, family, health, relationship, income,

home, etc. back, you probably will feel much better.

Unfortunately, nobody can give you time back.

Do you think a five or six year " hole " in a resume will hurt your

career and job prospects?

How do you recovered people answer the question

" What have you been doing the last five years " ,

in job interviews?

How much money have you invested in getting well? In buying new

posessions to replace the ones you had to 'discard'?

What about money invested in schooling, job training, etc. Do you

think that was moey well spent, given how you got sick and couldn't

use it?

I had the same reactions and also had other cognitive problems including memory

loss, concentration problems, severe anxiety, etc.  The depression and anger

were very severe (VERY SEVERE).  I tried many different things to try to

improve, including natural supplements, sweating it out, prescription

medications, and the old standys--- " just tough it out " and " snap out of it. "  

Nothing helped.  I finally found something that helped--Lamisil (a prescription

antifungal).  I had taken Sporanox (another antifungal) previously, but it

didn't do anything, so I was very surprised that Lamisil worked.  My cognitive

problems improved--especially my anger, anxiety and concentration.  It seems

that each of us has to find an approach that works for our individual

circumstances.  I assume it's because we are each exposed to different molds and

different toxins.  If you decide to try Lamisil, be sure to give it a chance to

work for at least a couple

months.  Hope this helps.

Sounds like me too just thow in postmenopausal-untreated (docs are

afraid to treat cause theystill havent figured it out yet!!! I have

been sick for about 1 year and am going thru the usual...WC,(actually

just got back from Comp Atty) SSD,LTD and still trying to get

someone other than the ENT to admit to more than just mold in

sinuses. That is whereit started, since then I have had several

FUNGAL!!! UTI and most recent GI Candida albicans and Candida

dubliniensis (simular to C albicans only mostly seen in immuno

compromised like Aids, HIV and I am here to tell SBS!) Yet not

enough " scientific/medical eviedence " to support a connection to the

water damaged Managers Aparmtent nor the hotel office below. Anyway

back to the point I am now on Zoloft cause it helps with the anxiety,

gi and meno stuff. Thank God i am now married to a very loving,

understanding aand patient man with a homeopathic bacground! I know i

ut him yhru hell and he understands it is the illness but it still

hurts and is frustrating. I think that is part of it...i am not the

person i have known all my life. you all know can't talk, cant

remeber a simple conversation yoiu had 2 minuts ago, cant move cant

sleep, cant go anywhere or do anything (much) cause it wipes you

out...........anyway I have tried accupuncture for anger (thank god

we have friend in this) it helped could use another round at least

once a month! Also My husband Pat is a Feldenkrais Practionor

(wwww.feldenkrais.com)that helps with my pain amanagement and when i

can i do some excercises known as awarement thru movement lessons

they help me to move better, he also practises BACH Flower Remiedies

and we are always tring different flower essescenes. They actually

premake 2 Serenity Now which calms you down and helps to relax and

Rescue Remedy which works almost in the same way. I use that when I

have had a very emotional expereince (like yesterday when at and my

son in law threw away alot of my personal belongings that are

contaminated and have been held up in the garage) WHEN I HAVE HAD A

VERY BAD PAIN EXPERIENCE, NIGHTMARES OR i HAVE A REALLY BAD DY

SYMTOM WISE. yOU CAN RESEARCH ANY OF THESE IT DOSENT CURE YOU BUT

HELPS ME TO DEAL. AS YOU CAN TELL I AM VERY TIRED BY MY TYPING. i

Hi ,

You know, i had that same thought. I tried sporonox and diflucan but it didnt

help me at all. But when i tried Lamisil it seemed to work wonders for me. But i

only had a 7 day supply. Do you have insurance? I dont and its soo expensive.

Thanks for the input. I will have to pray for that as well. I have had severe

anxiety as well. Forgot to mention that part. Well i will say a prayer for

you.. Thanks Bud

, Did you use something to detox with during the time you took

Lamisil, like CSM?

It is sad beyond belief when those who say they love us just don't understand

what we are going through. It does make you second guess everything. This is the

most important time to bring compassion to yourself-- when no one else can or

will. Don't give up, either of you. The illness is indeed real-- but somewhere

inside you are still you. And that " you " is a good and rightous person. This is

what I strive to re-affirm each day. You are not alone.

My prayers are with you,

Hi - I could only tolerate CSM for about a month. I am on WelChol

which is awesome. It is important for me to get lots of fiber and I

take millers wheat and oat bran every day for years. I always wonder

if the bran I took maybe pulled out some of the toxins, as I was

being exposed and made the difference in not having " leaky gut " -

which Thank God I have not had.

The good thing about Welchol is that it can lower both cholesterol

and blood sugar, which I have to work at. And, it does not involve

the liver, but, as I understand. The CSM made me have terrible

reflux.

I took Lamisil and felt the poison sucked out of my face and head, a

little at a time. I was very careful with the liver tests and rested

a lot and drank gallons of water to get it out of my system. It

helped a lot. Not with the fatigue. But with the sinus pressure and

breathing. That is my experience.
