Mycoplasma Pneumonia -Misdiagnosis of

[Guest guest]

Hi there, Please have a read and let me know if my thought process is

on the right track

In reference to my " sick building " of previous posts. My client has

been diagnosed as having severe atypical, Mycoplasma pnemonia. However

she has suffered this for 18 months with repeated courses of both

amoxocillan and erythromiacin. So if it is in fact mycoplasma then a)

why hasn't the anti biotics cleared it up and why hasn't she

continuoulsy infected the others in her small office space?

My theory is that she is incorrectly diagnosed and has in fact got

Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis. Simply due the the points noted above and

that fact that she has been exposed in her work environment to

conditions conducive to biological contamination. (extensive water

damage to carpet and ceiling) The carpet is laid on unventilated

concrete flooring.

The swabs we have taken of the mould infected air vents have finally

began to grow and are now in pure culture waiting to be identified.

We can not take further action unless I can have a medical professional

conclusively say that her illness is a direct result of the fungi,

bacteria etc found in the workplace. Any hints on how to do so would be

good here.

Thanxs heaps and look forward to hearing your thoughts.

I, too, am going through something very similar. I was just recently diagnosed

with Staphylococcus Aureus, Diphtheroid-Like strain. I, as your friend, am also

having many more symptoms besides this MRSA sickness. I believe I contracted

mold/fungi mycotoxins at my workplace and have since been systematically

relieved of my job. I believe that somehow, my contracting the MRSA and the

mold/fungus are related to my working with drug addicts on a daily basis.

Whether it is in the clinic building (walls, ceiling, etc.) and/or the

probability that spores are being brought in on the clients themselves, my

" former " employer has done everything to try and place this all on my shoulders

and provided me no support, whatsoever. I, myself, had to contact Human

Resources to have them file Workers' Comp papers. It was the Comp doctor that

found the MRSA, not even my own Kaiser doctors could find what it is. Now I am

without any medical coverage, the Workers' Comp doctor discharged me

this past Friday citing that this was a solitary case of Staph and that I gave

it to myself. I am contacting lawyers today to see if I can get any help. If

you all have any suggestions, please let me know. I have already been in

contact with Doug Haney, Advocate, from Sacramento, CA and Dr. Markinovich,

Toxicologist, from Redwood City, CA. Unfortunately, the doctor costs are to be

paid up front and he does not take very many insurances (I don't have any at

this time anyhow). So, I am hoping that an attorney who specializes in these

type of cases will take this on a contingency basis or I am going to go for it

on my own. If anybody can help me out there, please let me know ASAP. My worst

symptoms right now are chronic and progressive fatigue, shortness of breath,

heart palpitations and loss of teeth. My skin continues to manifest small

rashes, deformed arm hairs and follicles along with some small abscesses which I

am using vinegar, garlic, CS, microelectricity, milk

thistle, etc. Please help me. I do believe strongly in the healing power of the

Holy Spirit and I " pray without ceasing " . I know God is using me and my illness

to bring glory to Himself and others to Him. Keep up the good work, group, and

may God bless you!

,

The dilemma that you describe is unfortunately a common one. You should

realize that even if you are able to find an experienced attorney who will take

your case on contingency, the expense for medical and expert witnesses are

usually paid for by the client. Because of these types of costs, mold cases

are

some of the most expensive cases to bring to trial.

I have worked with the high risk populations (IV drug users, HIV+ and Hep

C+ individuals) for well over a decade now. Even with my hypersensitivity to

mold I have never had any problems with a mold exposure and or symptoms

thereof due to working with drug addicts and or any other type of patient that

I

might treat. Now whether you are reacting to mold as a result of your

environment, is a whole different issue.

Did you explore any of the avenues open to you through the worker's

compensation system?
