Move or remediate...how does one know?

[Guest guest]

Hello...I'm new to this group & mold hypersensitivity, looking for information &

support. I am devastated & depressed, not knowing what to do & how far you have

to go...whether to move, leaving everything behind, or remediate...not knowing

if that will be good enough. How far does it go? How does one know how much

you need to do? I feel I'm running from something that's everywhere. I feel I'm

a burden to my husband, who isn't ill & questions that it has to be so

drastic..I'm more desperate to get well, Do any mold hypersensitive people move

or remediate & go on to live " normal " lives? How does one know what can be

cleaned ( & how?) & what has to be let go of? I have read that papers, pictures

(my kids' pictures?), books, etc can't be saved...what about wood furniture,

etc...how does one know? And if you move, where do you go? What do you take?

How do you know another place is safe from mold? How does one test before

renting/buying? I was told to get my mold plates to " 2 " , which the lab said is

next to impossible. Can one even get it good enough to relieve symptoms? Are

mold plate testings accurate enough to really know? I'm not sure where to turn

& what to do & in the meantime I live in a moldier than I can tolerate home. We

found a roof leak, fixed it (including removing any questionable wood, etc), use

IQ air purifiers, keep humidity <45%, fog monthly...not good enough. I ask for

your help & your experience in this so I see a light at the end of the tunnel &

see relief in sight...don't know how you all have coped with this situation.

Thank you so much for your support. I am grateful to have others who

understand.
