It would help to know what state you are in, this way we could

recommend a doctor that may be close to you.

This sounds like it could be a chronic infection, maybe something activated

when your systems were stressed by the toxic mold. For diagnosis, maybe a

rheumatologist or immunologist if you use conventional medicine.

Alternative health practitioners would probably want to test you for Lyme

Disease.

Also, the mold event may have left you hypersensitive to mycotoxins in

general. So strict mold avoidance, treatment for any candida type problem

and treatment for digestive parasites might help. Again, alternative health

practitioners are often open to these diagnosis and they have some good

therapies.

You could also pursue a diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome with those

symptoms, if it has gone on for more than 6 months and if you need a

concrete diagnosis. But few regular doctors are savvy about CFS. However,

there are many good CFS lists you could look at, maybe one could help.

I am very sorry to hear you are so young and dealing with this

illness. Let the group know where you are. I hate to hear the young

getting ill. My daughter is only 22 and some how she didn't get this

like my husband and me.
