Unusual Symptom

[Guest guest]

Met a woman today, unfamiliar with mold toxins; has classic symptoms plus is

living in a contaminated home. She was very surprised and also delighted to

finally understand a cause for her multiple symptoms which none of her HMO

M.D.’s could diagnose. She knows about the mold in her home but her husband

is unwilling to address the problem. Her husband is not affected; only the

woman. He is not willing to allow her to go outside of her HMO network for

medical care. Sigh, this isn’t unusual and have heard of others with

similar problems.

She showed me her left leg, from ankle up about 6” she has dark brown spots;

similar to “large freckles”. She’s said these developed about ½ year ago

and are increasing. Not a rash, not raised but actual pigmentation changes.

She also has chronic ankle swelling, pain in her left leg, often limping

from pain and her left leg is larger than her right. She asked her HMO

primary care physician and was told it’s nothing, just sun spots people get

when they age.

Anyone have any ideas about these pigmentation changes on her left leg?

Thanks,
