Guest guest Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Diane, You just brought something back to mind. I am so wierded out at all the things I forget about and then something trigers something so important. I guess I need to read through this again myself. I dont recall anything about the breathing part. This has got me very interested. Yes. I do do it. I didnt know that but when I went to get my broncoscopy done I first went through all the breathing tests and so forth. The doctor asked me why I keep holding my breath. His comment just stuck out in my mind and every once and awhile I still think about ti when I catch myself in it for one of the longer ones. If that is tricothesine related than it makes complete sence but I had not put that together before. As I am thinking about this I think that because of the non ability to really have continued medical care for this I tend to just exsist and dont really think about those details much because it consumes time and moods. Which is something I am so up against again. The lack of wanting to get to this computer is even becomeing a chore and I dont understand but I know it will pass as it seems to always do. Thanks for the comment. It is still something I need to pay attention to and re read my own post. Chris...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Have you been tested for vocal cord dysfunction? It's a breathing test done on a special machine by a lung doctor (pulmonologist?). You can read more about it on the Mayo Clinic or Web MD websites. The toxins cause VCD because they affect the trigeminal nerve which is involved in the function of your vocal cords. ________________________________ From: dianebolton52 <dianebolton@...> Sent: Sunday, January 4, 2009 12:14:59 PM Subject: [] Dr. ph Kleins web site Thank you for posting the web site info of Dr. Klein, I had not seen that before. It was an eye-opener and a sad reminder of what I went through for two years before coming to Dallas. I was just curious if anyone knew if Dr. Klein was well now.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I had the breathing test done on a very fancy machine that cost like 800 dollars by my pulminologist yes. What all was included or checked I have no idea. I will have to check that out. What do you mean by fungus. Like this only happens with exposure or are you just assuming since I was exposed?? Very interesting. Have you been tested for vocal cord dysfunction? It's a breathing test done on a special machine by a lung doctor (pulmonologist? ).

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 My family was exposed to multiple toxic molds in our home. After our exposure, 2 of my family members were having trouble getting air and after tests they were diagnosed with vocal cord dysfunction. They did not have this problem prior to our exposure. A specialist explained how the toxins attack the trigeminal nerve and that nerve is involved in the function of your vocal cords. Both of my family members went to a physical rehabilitation specialist where they were taught how to manage the vocal cord dysfunction. It is important to know that you can die from VCD if you can't get the airway open. ________________________________ From: Taz <unitedstatesvet@...> Sent: Sunday, January 4, 2009 5:36:22 PM Subject: Re: [] Dr. ph Kleins web site I had the breathing test done on a very fancy machine that cost like 800 dollars by my pulminologist yes.
