Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 hi everyone, I just wanted to make a statement. this is partly on behalf of . because we both share the same felling about people getting out of their moldy homes. I got to thinking about my many years of exposure and re-exposure, before finding out what was makeing me ill. some of you have been blessed or very lucky to find out what is causeing your illness, while some do not find out until they very, very ill. some die without ever knowing the reason. all this can depend on the state your in, the doctor you have and the public out look of mold in your area. you can tell by reading all the articles that pass our way that some states are more up on this than others. but what I want to share with you is that while not knowing what was makeing me ill at the time, I can now look back and remember thinking in my first house, that I didnt think I could fell much worse. I was wrong. my illnesses and symptoms got worse as the exposure got longer. exposure in my second home caused most of my symptoms and illnesses from the first home to get worse and added a few more symptoms and illnesses to the list. its a little more complacated than that but Im not up to going into a lot of details. I thought I was dieing at this second house and after getting out of it moved back into my first home, still not aware of mold there, but it didnt take long to figure it out. back in this home, the heavy exposure from the second house, still effecting me, made the exposure at this point a cobination of both. I thought I was dieing in the second house and now it was proveing to me that it could still be even worse. yes, I felt like I was close to death at that point, but thinking about it now, Im sure that if I would of stayed in either of these homes any longer, my illnesses would of continued to worsen to the point that I possably would have died. Im sure some of you may not get what is trying to impress on you, but he does it from consern. same as I am now. no one can make you leave your homes and leave everything behind, drag your kids out of school, or any of these things that you would have to deal with. I think God everyday that my 2 daughters were grown and moved out of my first home when they did. and they do show some signs of problems caused by the exposure they did get before moveing out. I also have 6 grandchildren and only 2 were lucky enough not to have been born while I lived in either of these homes. but the other 4, 1 witch lived the first 3 years of his life in the first moldy home, 1 that was at the second home almost every day for several hours and was a baby got very ill. and the other 2 spending a lot of time at both places, visiting grandma and spending the night. I have no clue just how this will effect the rest of their lives, some of them show signs of damage. and some of them are going to schools with mold problems. I guess what I really want to share with you is that knowing what I know now, I gladly would have given anything to keep from getting ill to the point I am now. I wish I would of known that mold was makeing me ill all them years and that the longer you live in it the more ill you will be and maybe the less chance of getting better when out too. and guess what, I lost everything anyway. so whats more important, your material things or your health. I learned the answer to this the hard way. I look at it like this. a tent is better than liveing in a moldy house, and a apartment thats mold free is better than liveing outside in a tent where after exposure and with MCS being outside is most times very hard.
