Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 My family and i have been dealing with a long term (approx 5-6 year) mold exposure My wife seemed to be the one most affected serious cognitive issues debilitating joint pains and muscle weakness and so on. When we finally figured out what was causing all the problems we had to leave our house and moved into our camper to remidiate but all we did was cross contaminate our camper and our vehicles. Like many others we eventually lost everything and had to leave it all behind. We saved all the money we could and went to a self proclaimed environmental Dr in the southern part of Florida. However he turned out to be no diffrent than many other drs we saw all about the money just kept leading us on with 500.00 + phone consultations for an hr could not keep doing this, financially impossible in our situation however did perscribe CSM and told her to take it every waking hour along with a grocery bag full of supplements she seemed to get worse in many diffrent areas and never got any better finally relized that the amount of csm she was taking was causing alot of the problems so she cut back to 3-4 doses a day big improvement. We were able to finally get to Dr Shoemaker in Jan 06 ,did our blood tests and began getting our results we have come to find out that my wife is now healthier than the rest of us in alot of ways but still sicker in some and of course both of us have the bad geno type. Just kind of curious about anyone who has had their c4a tested wifes was 7000+ my daughters (14)and mine was 5000+ but our son (11) was 51000 with an msh below 8 being so young there is nothing really available yet except csm which he is doing and working on diet he is going to be retested every month to see if we can get it to drop just wondering if any one elses is that high kind of looking for piece of mind or hope. I would like to add that what ever any one may or may not think of Dr Shoemaker we found him to be a very sincere and compassionate dr and although he may not have the whole puzzle figured out at least he has restored some of our faith in the medical proffesion and given us some kind of hope for a future worth looking forward to.
