Rhinocerebral Mucormycosis

[Guest guest]

Rhinocerebral phycomycosis, commonly referred to as mucormycosis, is a

rare but serious opportunistic infection of the sinuses and brain

caused by saprophytic fungi. Other rare variants of mucormycosis

include pulmonary, cutaneous, gastrointestinal, and disseminated forms.

Rhinocerebral mucormycosis, the most common manifestation of

mucormycosis, is a usually fatal fulminant infection.

Thanks for this post. I believe this may be what my symptoms have been

for the past 3 weeks. I knew something had changed with my symptoms as

for as severity and frequency but just thought it was more of the CFS,

mold, etc. My eyes have been extremely blurry lately and my headaches

have been more severe and frequent, plus I've been having chronic

fevers which I didn't have before. I'll go back to my allergist and see

what he says.

Please take the mold seriously... Your eyes, like your sinus and

respiratory tract, are on the front lines because they are wet,

vulnerable, and are impacted by anything in the air.. 24/7

For the eyes, you should see a good eye doctor.. Maybe you can get a

referral to one who wont try to tell you they know more than what

" your own eyes " tell you.

I do take the mold seriously. The problem is, these doctors don't take

me seriously! Plus, I have Medi-Cal (HMO) and you can only go to

doctors that they contract with. Unless, I come up with some more

money, I can't do anything now.

Didn't " The Man Without a Face " have rhinocerebral mucormycosis?

I don't know what I would do if I were a doctor and an ambulatory

patient with no medical background

came in to me telling me they might have rhinocerebral mucormycosis.

I am just trying to put myself in their position, not speculating as

to what you do have.

Actually, your symptoms are similar to what I had when I was being

exposed to mold on a daily basis and then fter I moved out, they

diminshed as the time out of there increased in a linear fashion.

The most important thing is that they stopped getting worse..

gsgirl.. at some point, you have to make a decision.. to move on..

your life will be this never ending battle/nightmare until you do, and

your health will in all probability keep getting worse and worse..

Everyone keeps hoping we can make full recoveries afterward (myself

included) but the facts seem to actually be that the longer you are

there, the sicker you get and often, many bad things are

permananent...

Your daughter, is she living with you or with relatives?

You know, if you didn't live in LA, you could probably get a better job.

Hell, you can read and write.. And your grammar is perfect.

Elsewhere, rent might be cheaper.. CA is very expensive relative to

other states..

[Guest guest]

when you don't have money- it's not so easy to get out or move!

I'm stuck for now....

[Guest guest]

I had a good job before I got sick- that's not the problem. The problem

is I'm to sick to work....
