> > 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.
