Guest guest Posted June 25, 2002 Report Share Posted June 25, 2002 Do you live anywhere near Ann Arbor. Dr. a Davey was practicing there when I lived in Indiana and she is a jewel of a doctor. Even if she couldn't personally treat your children, I would think that she could refer you to one who could! Good luck, Irene Wilkenfeld Irene WilkenfeldSafe SchoolsPlease note new email - irw27@...PLEASE DISREGARD email - irw27@...I am canceling irw27@...

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 Responding: -Health Scout News, June 20th, 2002, published an article about the same symptoms you are describing in schoolchildren in 27 states. The CDC is involved in trying to discover the cause of this. I believe the article can be found on the archives at or at http " //www.healthscoutnews.com/view.cfm?id-507760 Some links to possible exposure to parvovirus B19 otherwise as Fifth disease. However it probably really is mold exposure when 2 and 2 is added together.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 Look at my web site for information germane to your problem. The key issue is, if your children are being exposed to toxic mold, to immediately stop that exposure. Chronic exposure may lead to chronic illness including permanent respiratory (lung) damage. Today, I am about 95% recovered from my exposure. If, I had realized sooner what the web site explains, I know the speed of my recovery would have been more rapid and the degree more complete. www.stachy.5u.com ph P.

Their symptoms have been headaches every day while they were in the building and upper respitory infections, throat infections, colds, and similar infections approx. every 10 days a new one or the same one comes back since April 4. The antibiotic just ends and they are sick again. We live in a smaller town in Michigan and nobody seems to know much about mold exposure. I'm just trying to find out if they are out of this enviroment will they get better over time? Is there anything that is helpful in diagnosing this. No one here seems to know. Can I help give them anything to help them build up resistence? Any info would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I delayed just a little while getting a diagnosis for my daughter because I knew outside of NSAIDs I could get OTC there was nothing else available that would help her. Getting a diagnosis just to get a diagnosis of a chronic crippling disease as a teen can really mess up getting health insurance as an adult. Then I got Enbrel and discovered there was finally good help available. I then made it my mission to get her diagnosed and on Enbrel. Don't judge your dad too severely - before '98 there really was nothing but NSAIDs for my family. (We don't respond to DMARDs) And I wasn't offered a biologic until 2002 because the rheumy thought it was too expensive.
