Guest guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hi everyone! My name is Jill and I live in pennsylvania. I was told to join your group in hopes of getting some help on getting better.I just need to know what doctor to go to, even if I have to travel across the country, if he can help me, nowhere is too far!!! It all started 8 years ago in orlando florida. I lived in a condo and it got flooded. It was so bad that the second floor came in to our ceiling!! It was all due to the upstairs neighbor leaving his sneakers in his dryer, which overheated and caused a fire which burst the waterheater. They said it was safe to move back into the unit after about a month of them( so called cleaning it up), so i moved back in.After 2 years of living there I kept getting headaches all the time. I called the health department and they came out to the condo, they hooked devices up to the the walls and in their words said " get the hell out of here " !!!! I did, but unfortunatly it wasnt soon enough:( I have had headaches for 8 years straight. I have eye pain just from reading one page in a book. I have eye pain from going on the computer for one second. I cant drive at night because the lights kill my eyes. I cant go into a mall because the overwhelming smells make my head hurt so bad. Candles, perfumes, FORGET ABOUT IT!!!! I feel handicapped and I desperatly need the right doctor to diagnose me!!I have seen neurologists, and I got lasik surgery done, I got my wisdom teeth pulled ,all at the cost of my own pockets, hoping it would cure my pain:( I have got m r i and catscans. No medicine helps.The only thing that gave me relief from my headaches and eye pain was when I went to get my eyes checked and they put those numb drops in them!!That whole day I felt totally fine!!!!I am not even able to write you this post, luckily enough for me, im blessed with a twin sister who is typing this right now.The doctors I have seen said everything from neuralgia( even though my pain is on both sides of my face), peripheral neuritis, to A typical facial pain which means there is no cause or cure. None of my doctors connected my symptoms to living in a toxic enviroment for years.After all, the health department told me those walls were filled with water 2 years later and to get out!!!. Lastly, it seems like all my senses are working on overdrive. My eyes hurt to do anything. my sense of smell is so strong i cant go anywhere. my sense of feeling on my skin is super sensitive too. Just touching my finger to my nose, it feels like touching raw nerves!! I have a feeling all of this stems from my mold exposure!! Does anyone know of the right doctor for me to go to to get the RIGHT DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT!!! jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
