At least those things are letting me manage even though I am still exposed to a WDB. If the meds you were prescribed are not doing that for you maybe you could try those things?

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Janet, Sorry to hear about your exposure. Yes, foot baths really do help. They reduce my symptoms and increase my tolerance. I know someone else who did them too for mold exposure. I just use cilantro and distilled water. You can do them for 10 minutes at a time and do however many you need to. After several times I didn't need to do them anymore. Then my body wanted charcoal instead. It changes. Now I don't need to do either. But later my body will need it again. I just have to notice indications of what it is my body needs and try to keep up. ap > > do footbaths really help? I was re exposed today for the first time in four > years.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 > > I do full baths in 2 cups of BS or Epson Salts. > > I use both, the epson salts pulls toxins out and the Baking soda neutralizes. It helps if the water is verry hot, at least 100. I also use salts, acutally mineral salts from Redmond, Utah. You can add herbs too like rosemary or mint or whateverr youhave.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Thank you for all your replies but the strangest thing happened after I created this thread. I went to my therapist shaking like crazy and overly anxious but my thinking was unusually clear. Knowing I had gone through a severe benzo w/d that lasted for years (sleeping disorder) he suggested taking an extremely low dose of klonopin for 2 weeks and stopping, so I agreed. I went to the gym and my anxiety was still pretty bad during the workout, when I got home I took .25 mgs and within 20 minutes the shaking stopped and I felt the best I'd felt in 8 months. Even now that Im writing this at 2:06 in the morning my neck hurts a little but my thinking is still clear and the depression is non existent. The house Im currently staying at as far as I know has no mold. I've searched high and low for it and have gone as far as calling a local remediation company out to check with walls with a moisture meter and they said they couldn't find anything. What I am worried about is mycotoxins, knowing the hvac was remediated incorrectly and my immediate reaction to it tells me I'm still hypersensitive. Im not sure if the klonopin is masking my symptoms but after moving 6 times since last October and having to discard my belongings each and every time I'll take what I can get.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 with nerve damage, it doesn't always come down to symptoms being caused by re-exposure to something, you said your brain was pretty clear, the thing is, stress can be psychological and/or cause physicological nerve damage. " stress " in the meaning of physicological damage means stress directly put on your nervous system like toxin exposure does, that form of stress to the nervous system is physical nerve damage. some believe that physicological stress can damage the nervous system, I'd say it would take a whole lot of psychological stress in a long term situation to do that if it even could. I've been through some very stressful events in my life and it never caused physical nervous system damage. yes you can go through a ruff patch but you usually recover with time and go on. like when you lose a loved one in a sistuation that may cause stress or anixity, extreme sadness,ect. thats psychological. tottally different than physicological nerve damage caused by toxin exposure. same nervious system, one can affect the other, physical damage to the nervous system can cause a lot of symptoms when we than deal with stress ,anixity,anger issues with a damaged nervous system going on. treating the psychological part doesn't heal the physicological damage. it just temporarily deals with the psychological issues at that given time. it may be that you were not dealing with a exposure to anything, just stress, anixity itself and it presented itself in a different way than you have ever experienced before your nervous system was damaged by WDB exposure. > > Thank you for all your replies but the strangest thing happened after I created this thread.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Thank you Jeanine I hope your right. You have to remember that not two weeks ago I was exposed to mold that was on a couple of 1 " x6 " 's that were under the kitchen cabinet. When I took them out and put them outside which was a dumb thing to do I was inhaling millions of spores that were coming from the mold growth on the boards. I remember drinking some CSM and using the ketoconazole nasal spray in excess and within a 24 hour period I wasn't feeling great but at least the neck pain and the debilitating headache I had were gone. Im not feeling as good as I did yesterday but Im no longer shaking and my thinking is still somewhat clearer than its been in recent months. Im praying to the good Lord not just for my own recovery but for everyone whose been effected by toxic mold. I dont care how bad a person is or how they've wronged someone else no one deserves to go through this... no one! > > with nerve damage, it doesn't always come down to symptoms being caused by re-exposure to something, you said your brain was pretty clear, the thing is, stress can be psychological and/or cause physicological nerve damage.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 After my first exposure my girlfriend told me about a foot patch that you apply to the bottom of your feet when you go to bed out night and in the morning take the patch off. I tried them for a month and while somewhat expensive the discoloration on the patch was amazing. Some say its the sweat from your feet that turns the patch black I cant say for sure. I didnt notice any noticeable difference in the way I felt and they were a little to expensive to keep using them so I stopped. http://www.ehow.com/way_5727652_foot-patch-overnight-detox.html Another question once you soak in the bathtub with whatever it is you use do you shower after to remove the toxins that have been secreted from your pores? When I sauna I was taking a shower at the gym but saw some mold on tile grout not wanting to take any chances I just wait till I get home to shower now > > I do baths with peroxide or salts.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 So glad about the klonopin. I've been having a feeling that the problem at your current residence is chemical related and not mold. Don't forget that chemicals will produce a lot of the same reactions as mold and chemicals are in abundance. Your nose can tell you a lot. anita > > Thank you for all your replies but the strangest thing happened after I created this thread.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 lol's as hard as I tried I still didn't get the correct term in all the correct spots. so corrected and probably still spelled wrong. > with nerve damage, it doesn't always come down to symptoms being caused by re-exposure to something, you said your brain was pretty clear, the thing is, stress can be psychological and/or cause physicological nerve damage. > > " stress " in the meaning of physicological damage means stress directly put on your nervous system like toxin exposure does, that form of stress to the nervous system is physical nerve damage. > > some believe that (>physicological<wrong!) psychological stress can damage the nervous system, I'd say it would take a whole lot of psychological stress in a long term situation to do that if it even could.
