Guest guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Yes, I have gotten issues like photos I have seen of vasculitis. What you describe is very consistent with things that have happened to me too. My blood can also be very thick at times and they have sometimes had trouble getting blood when I was getting blood drawn. I have had aloo sorts of vasculitis-like symptoms. Some also look like various autoimmune conditions. Ive been better recently.. its now been around two years post-mold.. But I still get fatigue.. What on blood work would indicate the hypercoagulation? I must have some kind of record on " comp metabolic panel " s done... Have not been able to get the Shoemaker tests.. although I have asked SO many times.. What kind of doctor are you going to who knows this?

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 " ......I'm to the point where I think it's a waste of time > to see a doctor..... " I feel the same way.... I have an HMO and it's pointless to go see any of those doctors and can't afford Shoemaker, Marincovich- when he was still with us, even Dr. Green who is in my area... it's just one of those days!

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 1. Vasculitis can be a life-threatening condition so you certainly want it known in your medical records. 2. Vasculitis is known to be a condition that can result from toxic injury (multiple sources) so is important to have in your records as well. 3. No diagnosis (if accurate) is unimportant in the documentation of your health issues - without them on paper, future consults with physicians for worsening health or applying for disability etc. won't be productive. 4. Some treatments for primary toxicity may be contraindicated if complications from other serious sequelae of that injury make such interventions more hazardous. For instance, someone unstable from continued exposures to mold or other contaminants should not be starting mercury chelation at that time just because they test positive for the metal. Keep the whole picture in mind and on the record, even if the observations aren't something you can address immediately.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 ACCORDING TO MEDICAL SCIENCE, YOU CAN HAVE FUNGAL VASCULITIS OR TOXIC VACULITIS OR BOTH.(sorry caps on)so anyway, even if your exposed to that non-toxic mold, i guess it can still mess you up. (quack quack) or maybe all allergenic molds are pathogenic and all pathogenic molds are toxic and just because the toxins aren't found at the time of testing doesn't mean there not there. maybe instead of testing for mycotoxins in the air they should be testing for them on or in the spores. seems if you find them there you can be sure they were in the air at verious times. or hay, maybe it should just be realized that if they are known to produce them, they did. and well, lets get real, if you didn't get exposed to the toxins you wouldn't be ill because you wouldn't have suffered the organ damage that keeps you ill even after exposure. or hay, medical science says all our injury's all caused by pathogenic fungi, systemic fungal infections, so hey, why should we have to even prove we were exposed to the toxins? lets face it, mold can mess you up.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I keep *ALL* medical records and I mention them to doctors too. I have kept all my medical records since I was healthy and in my 20's. I'm just really thorough like that. It's my personality. If it weren't, I'd probably be dead by now with this mold business. I find my medical records largely ignored anyway, so I have to keep track in my own head and question everything they recommend and DO. Afraid to go into a hospital since they make so many errors and then patients have so little say about what happens to them in a hospital. Hospitals wouldn't admit that it's true. EVEN the LONG forms you fill out in doctor's offices for FIRST visit, then doctor comes in and doesn't even look it over. More than once I haven't finished filling it out when called and sat with it in my hand and then left office without turning it in. I left without turning it in just to see if they EVER asked for it, and they never have, so what's it for anyway??? I go only to the best doctors I can find too. It's so discouraging. A dermatologist that I have gone to nearly all my life when I needed one. People come from out of town to see him and he is good most of the time, Rx me Prednisone for inflamation I have that will not resolve, even though I mentioned to him a number of times I have signs of immune deficiency including a recent bought of shingles (that he treated me for), and now evidence of pancreatitis (which I told him abotu...shows up on cat and MRI). Warning on Prednison say that do not take it if you have an infection as it suppresses the immune system. I could just remind him....but I feel would if I didn't do so much work myself...no wonder U.S. spends more on health care than any other country but our population is in worse shape than any other industrialize nation. How are these doctors being trained, or screened for ability to understand science??? I just don't get the whole doctor thing anymore. I feel I understand my body better and good health care better than they do. > > 1. Vasculitis can be a life-threatening condition so you certainly > want it known in your medical records. > > 2.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I also keep my medical records and can personally attest to hospital errors and doctors wanting to prescribe prednisone until I pointed out edema. The " parts people " are in dire need of some good education of the body in general. Most people aren't as attuned to medical needs or are timid about questioning the " parts people " . The whole health care system is a terrible shame in this country. Barth --- b> I keep *ALL* medical records and I mention them to doctors too.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Jeanine and All: I have been quite of lately. It seems that noone seems want to understand what is going on in the indoor environment. Dr. Chin Yang and Dr. Lipsey agree with me because the have also seen what I have seen, infections with nontuberculin mycobacteria in addition to molds. There are molds and mold spores with their toxins. No question about these facts. There are also gram positive bacteria (bacilli, Streptomyces, Nocacria and Mycobacterium, thatproduce toxins and are potentially infectious. Then there are the particulates. The mold spores and hyphae fragments are quite large (2 microns and upwards). The other portion of the particulates consist of fragments smaller than the spores and hyphae. I suggest that you get on pubmed and/or google and Search for the research papers by Gottschalk (mycopathologia, 2008; Brasel et al 2003-2004; Van Emon et al,, 2004; and Falkinham, 2004; Johanning et al, 2004-05 and earlier). You will find that the toxins are carried in the fine particulates as well as the spores and hyphae. Also, you will discover synergism between the actinobacter toxins and trichothecenes. Mycetomas are caused by the actinobacter and eumycetomas by the molds. The spores of Streptomyces californicus are one micron or less. These are not detected with a mold spore trap filter. There is much information in the literature. If you cannot find it, email me. I will be pleased to send you the information. Jack D. Thrasher, Ph.D. Jack D.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Thank you Dr. Thrasher, I should have said damp molsy environments or DMB,WDB, cant ever remember the correct term to cover it all. I'm a little conserned about further testing needed on my homes as the no longer is electricity to either, would that be a problem? I'm also very conserned about who will do the testing and if it well be done properly. cant say I'm very trusting these days. does it matter what the weather condictions are while doing some of the testing? if I understand right it wouldn't matter so nusg with the mucotoxin testing but what about the bacterial? this is not a area I've spent alot of time learning. can everything be detected while it's dry through dust and swab samples? the homes have not been lived in and everything in the air would be settled. I cant turn the ac back on to bring up what was in the ductwork. In , " Jack Thrasher, Ph.D. " <toxicologist1@...> wrote: > > Jeanine and All: I have been quite of lately.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Does this sound familiar to anyone? On mold plates, in addition to whited dotted and fuzzy colonies, there was this pinkish-salmon colored stuff growing and taking over the plate. Unfortunately, I didn't have it tested-I wasn't quite of sound mind. Now I have had two clear quartz crystals in the same room (it was only in this room), and both have had this orangish, pinkish stuff growing in the crooks. Does anyone have a hit on what this stuff might be? Of course, I'm moving. But that's a whole other email...
