Re: [AspergillusSupport] EPA Oct 06 Due to the accumulating evidence..numerous unhealthy conditions....

[Guest guest]

I have not posted for some time. I too am preparing for litigation. I was in a

water damaged

rental house for a year. I couldn't grasp the things I was suffering and why.

I started with

cronic fatigue, broncitius, direa, rash and brain fog. I have been out of the

house for 7 months.

I still suffer breathlessness. It comes and goes with the help of albuterol.

I am unable to

hike as I did 2 years ago. I never can catch my second wind where you can then

go all day. I

have read the posts here for some months and need to find out where I can go to

identify the

specific molds species that where in the house. I did read where they have

devised a new PAN-PCR

coupled to cloning. I am not sure if I am slowly getting better or if I have

suffered permentant

health damage. I don't seem to have MCS or ever had any infection with a

tempture. Maybe I only

suffered a allergic reaction. Is that possible? If I could identify the

species wiil that tell

me any think? Or will just time will tell?

Thank you for you replys and help.

To my experience , fungal infections frequently aren't

accompanied with fever like bacterial or viral infections are, that's

why they can be less obvious to doctors and perhaps taken less

seriously many times or not investigated. However if you have healthy

immune system probably did not get infection. Don't rule it out due

to no fever though.

Many older people rarely get fevers, even when they are infected/sick.

Other conditions (hypothyroidism) can create overall low body temps

that might mask any fever..

Thanks for the comments. I am just trying to see where I am after where I know

I have been. I am

trying to get an appointment with a Dr. Micheal Grey in Benson Az.
