a sick building for over 12 years.

Out of the 54 conditions listed, how many have you experienced? I'm not

saying that all these conditions are directly related to mold exposure, but

I

honestly don't know and clearly doctors, by and large, aren't sure either.

The results should prove interesting.

In a nutshell, the symptoms I still have after moving away from the toxic mold

infested living quarters are:

1. neurological damage which goes along with difficulty concentrating and with

eye focus as well as lack of coordination and balance problems, and of course -

memory loss. I also have that zoned out feeling as well. (Still have

nervousness and heart palpitations and so does the dog actually.. that is

weird.)

2. chronic infections persist.. I still have immune dysfunction and get

viruses, whatever is out there at least twice per month. Of course I still have

metal taste in my mouth, inability to smell or taste, chronic allergic

rhynitis.. and have a hard time breathing at times (this is weird, so does the

dog.)

The periodontal disease has finally slowed down and I'm starting to heal. The

infection from the mycotoxins settled in my sinuses first, then my brain, then

stomach and my gums in this order. The gums seem to be healing first, although I

still feel pain once in awhile. I believe this is going to be a long road. It's

been almost 2 years for the gums to get past this detox process.

[Guest guest]

Ive experienced about 85 percent of your list

[Guest guest]

I experienced unexplained weight gain for year or two prior to then

experiencing unexplained weight loss but it was discovered during

surgery shortly after that for an ovarian cyst that I had pre-stage

one cancer, which supposedly has been removed surgically. So if you

have unexplained weight loss, monitor your health carefully. I was

lucky to have caught it and had it removed so early. I went from

120 to 147 without a change in eating habits and then dropped down

to 106 presurgery.

The symptoms I most worry about are rapidly deteriorating vision. I

put two pair of drug store glasses on now,200, to read labels, and

I'm only in my 50's, so at this rate I figure I could become legally

blind in the not too distant future.

I have lots of the symptoms too, sleeplessness (if that was on there

is one)/nervousness, freq migraine headaches. I can't eat carbs or

sugar without getting a sore throat, itchy ears and nose, etc.
