Guest guest Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hello to all, I need to find some help and if anyone can tell me how to find a doctor to get help. If I need to travel I will. I am 43 years old and I am homebound. I went through 2004 hurricanes and breathed mold and then last year was out of our house again because of Tropical Storm Fay and breathed more mold. Well April 2009 I developed a UTI and the doctors gave me three different antiboitics first Septra Bactrim for three days then Keflex for two days and I developed insomnia then Macrobid for 5 days. Well after this I was not able to get out of bed and a doctor ND told me I have adrenal problems due to shaking and low blood pressure and then a saliva test, so they put me on Cortef 5 mgs just in the morning and also because I wasn't sleeping they gave me Xanex .5mg. I had to take sometimes 3 plus up to 18mg of Melatonin just to sleep. After a week on Cortef my stomach started hurting and I developed food intolerances. I was getting worse and loosing weight. Then after two months the doctor switched me to Kolonpin for sleep .5mg. They also gave me nutritional ivs gluthione ivs and phosphocholine ivs. I was getting worse and now I was developing inflammation in my gut. So on August 3rd I decided I was going off of Cortef and August 28th went off of Klonopin for sleep and started using herbals like passionflower. I am sure there is mold still around and would like to find a test to see. If someone can tell me how to test and get help. I have lost 30 pounds since April and have gut inflammation. Is there a doctor that can help me? Is Shoemaker the doctor people go to? I really need to be tested. My husband and daughter have been fine and they didn't breath as much of the mold as I did when we had the damage. I went back in our home without knowing I should have worn a mask. I think the antiboitics did something to me also then the Hydrocortisone. Now what do I do because I have adrenal and thyroid problems and can't take steriods? I appreciate any help please. I can't even be a mom anymore and it is hard watching my daughter. She is having a terrible time with this. Thank you Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
