Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 Steve (I think?), A Z pack will not help. What is the climate there like right now? Do you have an rv or something you could sleep in as an experiment? Try spending lots of time away from home. Use a computer at your local library, go mall walking, etc, and if weather permits, try sleeping away from this home to see if you feel better. You'll have to do alot of creative thinking. It awful to have gotten sick where you work but I think getting sick from your own home is worse, but both are difficult to handle if you have budget limitations. Does your home have a garage? My garage tested okay whereas the home didn't. Perhaps you could sleep in car in garage and see if you feel better there, with garage door closed and try with garage door open, etc. Windows of car cracked open, shut all the way, etc. Could you rent a garage space to park your car in and sleep in car in rented garage space....with small safe area heater like oil filled heater...lol! That is pretty creative isn't it? Could you afford to rent a room in someone else's home? Maybe commit a minor infraction of law in hope of going to jail for a few nights. .. (really trying :?)!! See my other post- can you afford to rent a camper? ...buy or rent a used rv or van, 'Rent a Wreck?' I'm actually in same spot...out of my own home. Do you have health insurance, medicare? You need to see a mold doc. Medicare covers some alternative treatments sometimes better than private insurance companies, if you have medicare would be good. I don't have medicare but have heard they do cover some things private insurance won't. --- In , " shybasset " <shybasset@...> wrote: > > are you on the rx meds .....WHILE STILL WORKING IN THE SAME > BUILDING....OR LIVING IN THE SAME HOUSE.....reason I ask, I have had > TERRIBLE burning in throat and eyes since AUG 4(am in 2 1/4 yr old Quote
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 Hang in there Steve. I am sorry to hear you are so sad. Can really relate. Sometimes I think about getting a lawyer and being put down. I don't want to die, I want to live. I take ativan and it helps with the depression. I mainly take it for a nervous tic thing I have. Don't hurt yourself. Unfortunately we lost one of the group that way last December. I think of Bob often. I think we are closer to accomplishing something soon. I think you should get your throat cultured. I took Diflican for about 8 months and it did help with the yeast. The burning might be yeast. The doctors kept saying my tongue didn't have yeast but finally I had them do a culture on my tongue, and it was yeast. I am allergic to yeast, so it is harder to get rid of. I forget what kind of probiotics are good. Can someone tell us. I saw a doctor on Oprah the other day and he did say how good that is, but I have never tried it. I guess I should but have been afraid. That is good for disgestive system apparently. I don't know about the eyes. I have had about everything but my eyes seem okay. I know how hard it is to move unfortunately I have had mold in several homes. Hang in there, we are here for you.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Posted October 12, 2006 I started on Cholestyramine while I was still living in my 'mold palace' and it immediately started to help me. It made a huge difference. That is the most important medicine to take.. I think.. unless you have a mycosis.. Quote
