allergy and IGE

[Guest guest]

Is there anyone here that was tested soon after their WDB exposures

for allergies and shown to be highly allergic to many mold mixes or types of

mold and other things that may actuall have mold involved with them? also what

is, or is there a difference between haveing IgE to certain molds and haveing

just a high IgE responce with a allergy, is there a difference? or is it

basically the same thing?

is there anyone that many years later, practiceing avoidance,ext. that have been

re-tested and shown not to have any allergies at all?

mainly because I have read something along the lines that basically said some

allergies go away after you remove yourself from the allergy causeing agent,or

whatever, or what I got from it and a few other readings is that maybe these are

not true allergies, I'm kindof felling that this is probably right. a true

allergy doesn't just disappear, does it? I can also see where after you have

suffered through a bad WDB exposure and are just hyper-sensitive to what seems

to be almost everthing, that haveing intrademal allergy testing or anykind of

testing done where something you have just been highly sensitized to might be

involved would cause a reaction/welp or worse responce for some

but maybe it a reaction based on hypersensitiveness,and or in some part

inflammatory, and just not a true allergy.

I'm looking for a paper that I posted quite a while back by a Dr. V, votini,

something like that, the title had something along the lines of water damaged

buildings and mycotoxin exposure, I'm thinking it was the full text, it talked

about the possability that patients showing IgE to certain molds and that this

may actually show that these patients were indeed exposed to mycotoxins. I'm

thinking the year of it being published may have been around 2003, but cant

remember for sure, I'd really like to re-read that if anyone knows what I'm

talking about and has the article.

Jeanine, I went to an allergist for first time to test to see if I was allergic

to cats after a friend gave me gift of one to see if I could keep it, since I

thought I had developed allergy to cats. Doctor did those skin tests and almost

everything he tested make a wheel. He said " I can't believe you didn't know you

had all these allergies! " but I hardly ever sneezed at anything but felt tired

all the time. He asked his nurse to come in and help measure all the welts. It

was the first time tests of any sort came back abnormal even though I felt

crummy all the time. I knew there must be a connection but didn't know what the

connection was. That was a year or so before I joined this group after reading

symptoms of toxic illness that most closely resembled my symptoms. Now I have

been diagnosed with RSD, continued swelling and inflamation of a joint in my

foot after a minor accident. RSD is swelling, pain and inflamation that goes

for long time past when one would expect and sometimes never goes away but I'm

making some progress. I became super sensitive to house after taking a

prescription medicine that had a side effect of suppressing my immune system in

a house that had sustained water damage that previous to that hadn't bothered me

except that I had developed allergies.

I have not retested for allergies. I do not experience spring and fall

allergies like I used to but that could be because of the improved filters I

have on home air system.

I tested positive 2 times to mold (some) then later this year had negative

testing as an allergen.  But the tests for me where no the same as they were

not

as thorough as the initial ones.

I still have inflammatory responses in tests.   Cannot off the top of my head

say what is what in the tests.  (brain fog)

Question:

Does anyone know of local, in-person support groups for folks who have been

exposed and are seeking a psychoeducational approach to living with exposure's

effects?

Thanks for any input...
