You're right -- it's hard to prove and the statutes of limitations has probably run out. Not too much is finitely known about mold but it can trigger allergic reactions and also affect the CNS. Another interesting tidbit I found when I was researching a possible connection between chronic sinusitis and MS was that when you do have recurring sinusitis it actually increases your allergic susceptibility. It can make people very sensitive to things that wouldn't bother a "normal" person. Between the sinus problems I've had, the stupid carpet and the mold, it was intriguing enough for me to do research on possible allergic and bacterial connections. Let's just say I've had MS for a as long as my specialist thinks -- personally, I'm not convinced it was just coincidence that I came out of what was obviously a very long remission when faced with these problems.

Re: my carpet, I actually couldn't stand it anymore and pulled some of it up myself over the last week. Not the best idea and I definitely did not feel so well doing it but I discovered the original parquet floors. Not the prettiest flooring in the world but it seems to be in good condition! I'm headed out of town next week but am going to get a pro in here when I get back!
