Help.

Angelika,

Been there. Done that. No, it most likely was not flu. It probably

occurred 10 to 14 days after an exposure to mold and it was the beginning of a

colonization and your body trying to fight back.

As far as the nodule, I had a slightly detectable same thing in the plueral

lining of my lung. It was really tiny. They thought it might have even been

a glitch in the film. But I knew it wasn't. The reason they did the CT in

the first place was because I could feel there was something in my lung,

exactly where it showed up. I was having back pain in that exact spot, but it

felt like it was deep in my back, aka my lung.

I can't tell you what to do, but I can tell you that I was on Sporonox for

about 2.5 to 3 years. My lungs are fine. My health is pretty good. About

90%. Although I think I need to be doing some natural detoxifiers from here.

If it were me in your shoes, I would drink lots of water. Get lots fresh

air. Get some moderate exercise. Eat foods with no mold. Stay away from

moldie environments. And keep taking the Sporonox for your HP. It can take

awhile

to come back. But if you catch it early enough, it is pretty much

reversable.

Angelika,

Was the nodule they found was calcified, or

non-calcified?
