ok- finally have time to chat. Here's my story. My hubby and I bought a 1920's house in 1998. We renovated it, spent tons of money on it... long story short- it ended up with lots of stachybotris in it. I have an auto-immune disease called rheumatoid arthritis. At the time, I was taking Humira injections which lower your immune system. I didn't know the mold was in the house, so I ended up getting deathly ill. It started with respiratory problem and sinus stuff. Anyhoo- that home jacked me up pretty good. I now have bronchiectasis of the lungs and other things like auto immune hemalytic anemia from the mold. From 2005-2008 I was deathly skinny, weighing 98lbs. I am now doing better, weighing 125. I also had to have a few blood transfusions in 2007 from all of this because my red blood cells are lycing. I have been on prednisone now for so 3 yrs because of that problem. It helps my hemoglobin to stay at a safe level. It is suppose to read 15. When I went for the transfusions, it was at 5. The toxic mold has also caused many other problems for me: fungal infections of the nails, severe sleeping problems, low weight., etc. The side effects of prednisone are scary too. I am only 38 and I had to have cataract surgery a few months ago because long term use of steroids will do that. I am also noticing dental problems. I have beautiful teeth and I am going to freak if anything happens to them. What else? Oh- did I mention the money it costs for me to live? Since I sold the mold castle in 2006, I have moved every 3-4 months because of cross contamination. I am severely sensitive to mycotoxins. I can feel them 10 feet away. Do u experience this too? Anyhow, I am married but my hubby doesn't live wit h me. Evrytime we try to live together he makes me ill because of his job. He has a really good job but he brings mycotoxins back to me because he wont find a new job where he can make the same good money and have the same insurance plan we have now. So I finally got tired of him getting me ill, so we don't live together. I am on apt. # 18, car #6, computer #4, etc.. I am trying to find a way to stop the insanity. For now, we are just living apart and he is trying to find a new job out of town so this problem will go away. I don't know if you have experienced the cross contamination and the hell of mycotoxins but it is such a hard life!! I am trying to raise a daughter through this and keep her life sane. Anyways== sorry to make this a novel. Write back if u can. I have done many diets. What I think works best is fruits and veggies. I watch my red meat and I take supplements and eat live acidophilus and bifidus capsules for the candida. The only antifungal I have done is a nasal rinse called amphotericin b because I have mold growing in my sinuses. Sorry forgot to mention that. that is a huge deal!!! Do u have this too? That is one of the worst things because depending on my immune system and this problem, I feel the strength of mycotoxins. I don't notice them as much when my immune system is strong. But when I get a hit of toxins, my immune system goes down and the fungal problem in the sinuses gets worse. hope I am making sense to ya!

hi. Here are my mold symptoms-- lung and respiratory problems ( bronchiectasis), sleeping disorder, low weight, mold growth in my sinuses ( I think it is alternaria and some other species I don't know), had fungal infection in my finger and toenails but now I am fine. When I was living in my mold house I had dizziness, shortness of breath, hair loss. My hair is ok now. It has thinned some but overall is back to as normal as it is going to get. I have auto-immune hemalytic anemia. I know it is mold related but trying to prove this has been difficult. I have to take steroids to keep my hemoglobin safe so I don't end up having blood transfusions again. The steroid have done bad things like give me cataracts in both eyes, given me low bone density which I constantly have to watch so I don't end up with bad bones and spine. Pred. has also changed my hair. It is finer than it was. So these are mostly my syptoms. I try to live with total mold avoidance because I can't be anywhere near mycotoxins. They are my criptonite :D They take me down hard!!! Please let me know if you have tried any antifungals and what u thought. Have u seen Shoemaker or Gray or Rae or anyone? I saw Shoemaker in 07. I've learned a lot about mold but there is still so much to be learned!!
