Re: Worried about hypersensitivity

[Guest guest]

Just from my experience, the sensitivity doesn't actually go away so much as

your reactions become milder if you stay away from mold altogether. For example,

if I've been mold free for a month and wander into a bad situation but get out

fast I recover kind of quickly.

The trick is to get out fast because sometimes I will have 2 or 3 really bad

exposures in a row and then I'm sick for a while. It depends on how badly you

are hit and how often and how fast you can escape the exposure. It's SO tricky.

And everyone is SO different!

I've recovered from the initial exposure to mold (at home and at work) but I'll

never be the same. Sometimes (2 years ago) I had 6 months of heaven. I don't

know why, it was just good. It's not good now (washing machine moldy, feel sick,

have to deal with it but feel too sick to deal...)

It's day to day. And slow. But it can get much better with time and detoxing. I

did Jin Shin to detox, but everyone here has their own thing. It's all good. I'd

be happy to discuss, email me if you want info.

It feels very hopeless in the beginning-just know that it's normal and you will

recover.

Hello K--I'm so sorry to hear that you are having so much difficulty. I have

been exposed in a big way a few times and do get exposed here and there in a

minor way and can say that every time I have left the environment it does go

away after awhile. At least the part that is discernible to me as mold induced.

(I'm qualifying in that way bc I do have other issues, like Ehlers

Danlos--hypermobility type and CFS--but I can honestly say I've never been so

sick as when I've been living in this condo--nonetheless I have a lot of hope

that it will go away, as it has before, with extreme avoidance and with

supportive measures.) Take good care of yourself. Try to do something nice for

yourself to help distract from the fear. ~AN

good morning. I've moved house a couple of times after 3 years in the wdb.

Its I'm very hypersensitive to all mold and don't kbow what to do.

When i was staying at my mums a few clothes of hers got musty and i found i

couldn't breath as well in the houae and couldn't sleep that nught. I spent most

night in car.

The next day i left that houae and went to friends. There have been a few

frightening incidents: i was helping them cooking and peeled and chopped an

onion that had been rinsed in water, i started getting reactions right away,

mainly twitching inside, and congestion it's hard to explain. Then had a shower

and felt worse like there was either something in the water causing twitching

and tremors or could have been from black mould on the shower rail and curtain.

There is a rug here full of black mold that gets washed frequently, it's full

ofblack mold and i get coughing reactions when it gets washed.

Finally i seem to have issues outdoors, cant find anywhere to just sit and

relax, its been raining here on and off for months and i find that there is mold

everywhere. Again i get the slight burning in the lungs.

Is this hypersensitivity something that will die down now that im out of the wdb

or does this only go away with extreme avoidance? Please help

I'm quite concerned.
