METAIRIE, La. — The question quietly circulating here is whether

Legionnaires' disease is being spread by the battered refuse left by

Hurricane Katrina.

Hi Sue,

How are you? I don't think it is Legionnaires' Disease at all.

I think it is caused by a little known, yet recently pervasive bug, Abmomci.

Hi Sharon,

I'm doing pretty good. I saw Dr. S last Friday for a follow-up appt. He

took me off Procrit in Dec. and my elbow pain and stiffness returned along with

some fatigue. So I'm back on it until May when I see him again. My last

blood work done showed an elevated VIP. I also had a high C4a but it had

dropped to half of what it was so he's happy about that. I know he doesn't

have

all the answers and a magic cure but he is helping me & I feel 100% better

than I did 2 yrs. ago.

I agree that it isn't Legionnaires's and I'm sure it is toxic related. I

can't imagine how awful it must be in NO and other areas of the south. Those

poor people are not being told the truth and will continue to get sick and

eventually die a slow and painful death. Do you think they will ever admit

that

the toxic mold is making people very sick?

The latest on my old school is another teacher is very sick. She is only 30

yrs. old and stayed a yr. after me. She went from Dr. to Dr. including

Hopkins & no one had answers except to put her on steroids. She finally called

me in tears for Dr. Shoemaker's number. She's some better but has a LONG way

to go. Recently I got a call from a parent who has a child that is sick and

a mother has tested positive on the VCS test. Another child has a rash &

other symptoms and tested positive on the test. So the nightmare continues at

the school and the principal only told the parents that the latest teacher has

taken a leave of absence. Still never sent the reports home or told the

faculty. It is a small Catholic school and I continue to be shocked at how

they

continue to get by with covering it all up.

A group of parents are having a meeting this Tues. and have asked the other

teacher and me to come talk about our illness. So hopefully this time

parents will listen. We'll see but I'm not going to hold my breath!!!!

Hope you are well,

Sue

Hi Sue,

Sounds like you are doing good. So sorry to hear of yet another teacher

and more children.
