stroke/tia/vasculitis

[Guest guest]

how does neurosarc cause vasculitis/stroke/tia, i just got out of the

hosppital saturday after being in for 4 days, with stroke L with more

injuries to R side as my first 4 yrs ago. ucsd said that the

vasculitis only occured at the time of the stroke, but not now. I'm

wondering if the same thing happened to me this time. mri, mra don't

show anything, i still have another mri,mra tomorrow for this stroke.

have you heard of anything about vasculitis reoccurring this way and

causing transient attacks like this?

Vasculitis is inflamation of the blood vessels. If it is in the brain, then the swelling of the vessel can constrict the bloodflow, and a clot backs up then finally breaks loose.

Sarcoid inflammation can be actually in the blood cells themself. It may show as ACE level increases (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme), it can be in the CRP (C-reactive protein) it can be in the TNF-a and b cells -- as well as an increase in certain types of white cell proteins. I don't know and couldn't explain the exact combinations that make this a problem, but anytime you get inflammation in joints, ligaments, blood, bone marrow, bones, brains- the swelling or constriction is going to narrow the channels- and then it gets more painful.

You will need to look in the ARCHIVES and LINKS- the site connection is at the bottom section of this and every email we send from the group, just scroll down.

I HAD MY COMPUTER CRASH 3 DAYS AGO-- AND I'VE LOST MOST OF MY "FAVORITES"-- SO I'M NOT ABLE TO PULL UP THE ARTICLES WITHOUT GOING TO THE ARCHIVES MYSELF, OR DOING A NEW SEARCH. I AM STILL WORKING ON GETTING BACK SOME OF THE INFO-- BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG, SLOW PROCESS.

heRE IS ONE SITE THAT SAYS A LITTLE ABOUT VASCULITIS AND SARC.

Is there any connection between trichothecene mycotoxins and sarcoidosis? Because I was talking to a toxicologist yesterday, and he said that a common effect of trichothecenes is to create granulomas. Thats one of the things they do. They also create blisters that eventually become filled with blood, die and slogh off.

In my case, the toxin would have been from the particles in the air that coated my hair that came from the mold growing inside of my apartment buildings walls. This was verified by a lab. Samples of some of the mold from the inside of the walls of my bathroom were sent to Texas Tech (which is the leading center in the world for researching black mold) for testing and the levels of trichothecene mycotoxins were VERY high. The building had serious mold problems.

I used to use shampoo while I lived there to wash my hair like we all do. The shampoos all have - sodium lauryl/laureth sulphate in them which is also used in warfare to weaponize trichothecenes. (see

http://www.iaqm.com/trichothecene.html and http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/medaspec/Ch-34electrv699.pdf ) During that time, my ears were constantly ringing and often my face would turn bright red (people would often comment about it) and my ears, eyes and face had MAJOR issues with blisters and scarring. My left leg (EXACTLY where my leg would make contact with the sides of my bathtub) is also now *completely* numb. I still have lots of other health issues too. Too many to describe.

I know this sounds crazy but I have been speaking with the toxicologist who did the first study on stachybotrys in homes and also a contact in the state Dept of Health Services and they don't think I'm crazy at all. Mold is a known risk factor for sarcoidosis. Perhaps it is a cause of some of the sarcoidosis that becomes neurosarcoidosis?That would explain the huge number of people like me who KNOW that mold exposure has left them with permanent neurological damage. Maybe a lot of them have undiagnosed neurosarcoidosis from the trichothecene or other mycotoxin exposure? Its not an easy disease to diagnose. And many of the poorest people don't even have health insurance. They don't go to doctors for little things. They don't have the money. They go to emergency rooms when they are dying.

So its quite possible that a huge number of people have it, don't know it, and it gets worse and worse and eventually it might even kill some of them, and never be suspected as the cause. Does that sound plausible?
