Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 no offense taken, but just for the record, i'm of the female gender. i actually gave birth while living in my first moldy apartment - brings back nightmares. anyway, thank you for your response. i'm glad that you have found a group of sympathetic ears. it can be so challenging to be surrounded by judgmental people who have no idea what you're going through. > > > > Momoko...you pretty much hit the nail on the head when you spoke of the medical pros not knowing about mold related symptoms. > > Any doctors that I have seen and spoken to about my health issues and symptoms write me off as simply delusional. > > Especially so when one tries to explain multiple chemical sensitivity and the insane reactions I am forced to endure with exposure. > > Ditto for my family and anybody else I try to explain my issues to. > > How can one expect anyone to understand that simply going into a store can set of a myriad of sensations that are unbearable? > > I'm a very ill guy unfortunately.....the discomfort and pain can be so overwhelming that it is impossible to simply " wear a brave face " and am forced to grimace in agony..... > > People simply think I am crazy and have lost my mind....how can anyone be so sick and have so many things wrong? is what they say when I try to explain what's happening and why..... > > Ten days ago I saw a neuro-opthamologist about my vision problems..I could see by the expression on his face that he thought I was nuts when I told him that toxic exposure was reeking havoc with my system and that I was certain that my visual problems accrued as a result. > > At least fellow sufferers understand and a forum like this one gives a person an oportunity to try and gain some knowledge and even get a tadd of relief simply by partaking.. > > Ian > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Ian: I experienced ths same thing with my opthamologist in NH. She diagnosed optic neuritis and completely discounted my story about the mold toxins and the start of my vision problem. Jeanine recently posted an article making the connection, maybe you could send the article to your doctor as I did. They need to know the truth and it will only help others in the long run.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I know I`am coming into this in the middle of a discussion but I just now noticed it. I too have had a dx of optic neuritis by my eye doctor. He told me to mention it to my neurologist who has since like most main stream doctors have blown it off. Sounds like it may be another symptom re: mold exposure. nne > > Ian: I experienced ths same thing with my opthamologist in NH.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Mayleen, I would not had known I had anything wrong other than difficulty seeing but it was rather hard to describe. I also had good and bad days so that even made it worse. But when I went in for an eye exam I didn`t mention anything. He looked into my eye`s and noticed it by examination. Hope this helps! nne~ > > What are the symptoms of optic neuritis > > God Bless !! > dragonflymcs > Mayleen > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
