Re: memory problems, seperate from MCS ???

[Guest guest]

My problems with driving are mostly from my vision problems, but yes

I often do stupied things like stopping at a green light or going on

red, my short term memory was really bad before I got out of the

mold, and I could not consentrate on anything. people made fun of me

because I would be talking about something and in the middle of it, I

would start talking about something else. this slowly improved some

and now my brain fog, or consentration problems mostly get worse with

a MCS attack as do all my symptoms. I still have a hard time

remembering how to spell some words that I know how to spell. I'm

wondering if everyone with MCS have the same basic symptoms,

depending on how strong the offending smell is, I usually cough(not

allways) sometimes the coughing stops(really bad ones, it continues

and I fell like my lungs are going to stop working) I instantly get

dizzy and balance problems, slurred speach, vision gets worse. I get

a pain around my heart and bottom lung area, even if I quit coughing

the pain continues. the longer Im exposed, even if its mild, the

sicker I get and the longer the effects last. often It causes sore

muscles(like fibromyalgia symptoms) and upsets my stomach(often

leading to dierrhia(sometimes with blood) and sometimes makes me fell

like I have the flu for about 3 days afterwards. some strong smells

(like what ever is in shoe stores) wipe me out really fast, last time

I tried that, I didn't know if I was going to make it out of the

store, than had to wait to be able to drive, and varily got home

before the dierrhia set in. now my daughter byes my shoes for me. and

I can fell the blood in my viens doing something weird, dont know how

to discribe it but its like the blood is rushing fast and it hurts if

anyone touches me. also the CF gets really bad and I have no strenght

at all. seperate from this, I have a lot of swelling in the stomach

due to stomach problems(candida and food allergies) and I get a lot

of burning and swelling in my lower limbs ,numbness too, (also with

arms and hands not so bad now) and heat just wipes me out. haveing a

hard time seperateing all this, but the home with stachoboctrys

caused contant infection in my body, and I still have a lot of

problems with pain in my bladder, kidneys and (female organs, the

parts that still have felling) and anytime I get ill from cold or

flu, I fell like I back in the mold house. stachoboctrys ruined my

sinuses, constantly washing them. its weird though, because washing

my sinuses seems to make MCS attacks worse, but not washing them

makes the constant sinus infection with migranes worse. but besides

the MCS effects, something has changed with the way my brain

functions, this may be do to just the overall hell that my body has

been through and the stress of the whole thing. would be nice to have

a doctor, I'm pretty sure I have a few illnesses that haven't been

dignosed.
