confused (again)

June 28, 2010

Im a little confused here (again) so please help me out.

I went to my Dr and had my testosterone levels checked, once he received the

results he said they were extremely low and wanted me to start on HRT. After

doing some research and talking to a Dr I came across on the internet who was

also exposed to toxic mold say it was ok so I decided to try it. After 2 weeks

of being on HRT I definitely feel worst so naturally I've decided not to

continue. (Hopefully being on HRT for those 2 weeks hasnt caused any long term

damage)

I did some more reading and found out that tamoxifen which is also a hormone is

reported to kill mold but beings it is a hormone how can it not make your

symptoms worst? You've got one specialist saying yes, steroids are ok than you

have another saying " NO, stay away from them as it's like adding fuel to a fire "

Any and all opinions are welcome

I'm wondering if your testosterone levels are due to the mold? i am quick

scanning but we lived in a place years ago that had mold and it took me about 4

years like now to figure it out but my older son has been diagnosed since with

kleinfelter's syndrome at first the dr was asking him if i did drugfs when i was

pregnant etc i am wondering if this may have been caused from the mold. i really

have to think cuz he's asthmatic but he was growing breasts and the dr's kept

ignoring him and as a tenager he didn't want me in the room and part of that

syndrome is that he has only i male hormone. i wonder if this is an open and

shut disease from birth or not? it goes along with the asthma but right now I'm

sitting here withoput getting my periood and 2 years ago i thought i was going

through the change and both times my tests are normal but my body isn't acting

like it. i just got mold tests resul;ts sunday night i accidetly found it last

month and am now realizing so may different symptoms i'm pretty sure once

revealed the dr's will agree i have had mold exposure for months but not sure if

i can really trust them to recognize it. i haven't been able to lok to see if

there';s a dr in the phx area that handles mold. can someone tell me please if

there is. i am going to shower and get to the library and print some things etc

thanks donna

I read an article (darn if I can find it now) written by a Dr Lavine Nagy

M.D that stated that the army did a study and came to the conclusion that women

are more prone to mold exposure due to their testosterone levels. I've had my

testosterone levels checked twice once before the exposure and than again after

and both times they were extremely low but since I didn't feel any different I

saw no reason to go with my Dr's suggestion and start HRT.
