Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 ---you may want to go by a tent, I wouldn't use anything out of your home because it very possably is contaminated. even your cloths, pillows and blankets, even better if you can barrow these things from someone because new items can could also bother you, but I would even wash these with ALL free and clear detergent first, in case you have developed sensativitys to certain things. right now you might not even realize this has happened to you so its just being safe. the last thing you need is more insults on your body. if you go stay with a friend, immeditly shower and put your cloths straight in a plastic bag and get them out of your friends house, you dont want to contaminate theri home.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 - yes, i should have stated that you really shouldn't be messing with the rugs and some masks are better than none, but most masks are not going to keep you from inhaleing toxins. its best you that you just get out of there. - - In , " who " <jeaninem660@...> wrote: > > yes, its probably in your ac. you need to quit stiring it up and > just get out of there. and yes, 6 months is going to make you much > more ill. please get out and give your body some recovering time > while you learn some info. on what your dealing with, and how to deal > with it.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 skybasset, Summer heat and humidity are probably making everything worse right now. Consider taking a small apt right away so you aren't injured any more and plan to come in a clean out what you can with mask, etc. Getting away from it as much as you can makes a big difference. When temperatures cool off, and you get some things cleared out, perhaps you can move back in, but mold problems will be worse now. Problem I see is finding a place that is safe. Try finding someplace you can stay a short time in before signing up for longer stay, maybe like an Extended Stay place. That's exactly what I am going through right now myself with almost the exact same symptoms but I have been to doctors and have diagnosis of mycotoxicosis. --- shybasset <shybasset@...> wrote: > The past week has been awful....I disposed of > about 6 rugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Yes, I am very sick and sound the same as you. See a toxic mold specialist right away. I will write you offline. I've seen two this summer alone and wish I had done it sooner. I tried so hard to find help at home. It's not worth the wasted time. My toxic exposure probably was the cause of my cancer a couple years ago. I had tissues examined by toxicologist just recently. You sound pretty injured already. I would not stick around house, especially in the summer humidity and heat. Even if you can stay some place else for the rest of the air conditioning season only, it would be a big step in right direction. Also you can see if you improve with change in living space. --- In , " shybasset " <shybasset@...> wrote: > > The past week has been awful....I disposed of about 6 rugs > today,,,,have about 8 more....in my bedroom I took rugs out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 I didn't have Igm's taken. They drew some blood for tests I don't have results back yet and also another urine mycotoxin test I don't haven't sent out yet, but IgG's of MAST class FOUR, highest for 4 molds, one of which is Fusarium. That one I can't figure out. Other is Candida doesn't surprise me, Cladosporum (house is full of it), and Stemphylium (never heard of it). I have MAST CLASS three for six other molds. MAST CLASS two for three molds and there was no mold that I only tested a class one on and none that I didn't have any antibodies to. I think recent blood test includes IgM's and IgA's. I'll let you know. One thing I read is that fusarium is more likely ingested than inhaled, which might account for reason I only picked one up in mold plate, so could have gotten it from food, since illness really started with a medication that damaged my stomach and gi lining with painfully sore throat, could have allowed mold that I take in with food that normally would not have hurt me. I don't know. That would mean I would have Fusarium infection of gi tract. That's pretty unusual I think but not sure. I have medicine for sinus infection which I do have so maybe just there and no place else. I hope. --- Leigh McCall-Alton <mccallalton@...> wrote: > barb--were your igm and igg to various molds > elevated??? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Whatever you can do to minimize that moving time is best. In retrospect, I would have hired somebody to do it if I could have afforded to, and thrown everything porous out. Wash the rest in ammonia.. seriously.. Try to get reimbursed for ths in advance (right, I KNOW) because its VERY expensive! The mold toxins coat everything with a thin layer that makes them make you ill later.. For every day you are so intimately involved in the moving/cleanup, you lose a big chunk of your health.. even after its over and you are removed from exposure, you keep getting worse for a long time.. it percolates around in your system.. It also makes you SO TIRED... At least that has been my experience. Wear a N95 respirator. Ventilate home AGGRESSIVELY. Use hand and EYE protection. Take lots of pictures. If it was me, I would take lots of supplemental Vit C+E, zinc, N-acetylcysteine, alpha-lipoic-acid, milk thistle, carnosine, idebenone, piracetam, thiamin and esp. CHOLESTYRAMINE.. Ask your doctor about this.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livesimply, we tried to warn you in the strongest possible terms that you would wish to have done things differently. Our advice was far stronger than the wording you use in your current advice, yet we still didn't manage to convey the seriousness of the situation sufficiently to pursuade you to do exactly what you now wish you had done. /message/39319 Can you help us to understand why our advice didn't our advice seem compelling enough at the time? In retrospect, is there some other way we could have presented this information in some much stronger way to help get you through this stage with fewer missteps? - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 -, how rude, i dont think 'I told you so' is going to help anyone. you know from your own experience that no one gets it until they have been threw it or seen someone they love go threw it and even than its hard to understand. you go on and on about how no one listened to you back than, while guess what, people still aren't listening and theri not going to until its splashed all over the news and reconized as the health hazard that it is. most people dont come here until theri allready suffering and starting to put it together and believe me, if theri brain is getting affected, theri not thinking real clearly and it may take getting to the point where you fell like your dieing for your brain alarm to go off. if you can fiqure out how to get the world to wake up and reconize this, you will have acomplished something. this is what we all want and are trying to do. there is a process here and I think you know what Im talking about. its called 'time'. I know you didn't know anything about mold before you got ill from it, and I know that it took you a while to figure out what you have sence than. you are no special mold detecter. after anyone affected gets away from it, theri sensativitys surface and theri bodys are in protection and detection mode. Barb for example might not tottally get how you can detect and know when mold is around but I do and she probably well once she gets away from it for awhile.just how bad you were affected is going to deturmine just how sensative you will be to it.and what you were exposed to is what you are going to be sensative to. nothing like some adviodence to highten your sences to things that have affected your body to the point it reacts with even the smallest amount in the air.and believe me, when youre dealing with allergy irratants, food allergy irratants mold,mycotoxins and other toxins theres no way to aviod it all inless you have a bubble on your head. as far as mycotoxin exposure goes, its the same thing that happens with any toxin exposure,toxin overload well make you react to all toxins but still the ones that caused it well be the worst. ones who are lucky enough to only suffer from allergenic and even pathogenic molds are still going to get very ill but the toxin exposure is tottally different and wouldn't it be wrong to give advice to someone with the lessor effects and have them burn theri home on your advice to later realize it could have be saved? I have knowticed that you give no newcomers any advice at all. but you are good at pointing out things in other peoples posts which I dont know about anyone else but I dont need that done for me, I still have a brain and it still works, just not quite as well as it used to. yes, you have had more time sence your exposure to think about things, maybe to much. yes, it would be nice if others could learn from our mistakes but as you should know that rarely ever happens. -- In , " erikmoldwarrior " <erikmoldwarrior@...> wrote: > > LiveSimply <quackadillian@> wrote: > > > > Whatever you can do to minimize that moving time is best.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 -Please don't take me wrong, it's not that I dislike you, it's only like you have said yourself,it's your arragance. I have allready dealt with that to much in my life and with what I've been through, it just really is not something I wish to deal with here.I even like you posting Shoemakers thoughts, I like to know what everyone thinks than compare it to my experence. it is pretty amaseing and devastateing at the same time. -- In , " who " <jeaninem660@...> wrote: > > -, how rude, i dont think 'I told you so' is going to help > anyone. you know from your own experience that no one gets it until > they have been threw it or seen someone they love go threw it and > even than its hard to understand. you go on and on about how no one > listened to you back than, while guess what, people still aren't > listening and theri not going to until its splashed all over the news > and reconized as the health hazard that it is. > most people dont come here until theri allready suffering and > starting to put it together and believe me, if theri brain is getting > affected, theri not thinking real clearly and it may take getting to > the point where you fell like your dieing for your brain alarm to go > off. if you can fiqure out how to get the world to wake up and > reconize this, you will have acomplished something. this is what we > all want and are trying to do. > there is a process here and I think you know what Im talking about. > its called 'time'.
