,

Are you on an anti fungal like diflucan or anything? I cannot believe the symptoms that I have had. My hemoglobin was 10.4 which is not really dangerous but alerted my Dr. enough to do the iron levels and my iron stores and saturation and binding capacity are grossly abnormal. I have had 3 crowns and 5 cavities in one year and no dental work for 20 years!! I have had weird lesions on my leg that just pop up Dr. thinks vasculitis? You are right the muscle and joint pain are so bad but I have muscular dystrophy (CMT) and thought it was really just the muscles and nerves degenerating. I have had nail problems which is totally new. These are beside the sinus infections and nasal burning and shortness of breath and left chest pain and wheezing and skin itching till I had scabs. It has been such a year. My bird almost died from aspergilla and the vet heard my chronic cough and recommend me being tested or I would never have known this was related. Then when they cultured my house for stachybotrys, penicillium aspergilla alternaris and cladosporium amoung several others..I knew we had to do something. My husband had nosebleeds and a sore nose for 3 weeks and also a chronic cough and he has still never seen a doctor because he is better since we moved out to a hotel.

God Bless you for your efforts to educate the public. I am a nurse and still never dreamed this could be so dangerous! It was not my field..neonatal for 20+ years and it is not an issue with them in the NICU. I can't even think about the home environments babies go home to that is mold infested when their lungs are already compromised!

Good Luck with your testing and thanks again,

Jan
