Hi Julie! Sorry you have to go through all of this. I apologize in advance for making this so long.

First - Have you had a complete allergy test both skin and blood? Mold can create some serious problems to those of us allergic to it and/or sensitive to it's toxins. This can also create many chemical sensitivities as well as neurological problems. I am highly allergic to mold and can get really sick.

As an example, I have a fruit bowl out on the counter. If an orange starts to mold and that mold releases its nasty stuff in the air, I become very ill. This includes some symptoms that mimic other disease.

I did a search on mold toxins real quick before I posted. Here is just a sample of what you may find:

Effects from exposure to toxic mold can result in any of the following symptoms:
Headaches - memory loss - problems focusing or concentrating - chronic fatigue - nose and throat irritation - persistent cold-like symptoms - burning, itching or watering eyes - dizziness - nausea - tremors - heart palpitations - shortness of breath (during mild exertion) - exhaustion- after routine activity - serious swelling in legs, ankles, feet - serious swelling in torso or stomach - prolonged muscle cramps and joint pain - sensitivity to- odors - cancer - women who are pregnant could experience multiple problems, even miscarriages.

I lived in a townhome that had bad pipes, some that actually burst at the manifold. My sister who is an architect told me - move, get out, etc. I was going to buy the place! She was the one that told me all these horror stories about what mold does to a home and many times the toxins can be so bad the home is condemned.

Secondly - I did not this route but, have you been or would you consider going to a homeopathic doctor and/or a kinesiologist. My nephew was horrible ill and they couldn't figure out what was going on. There was no solid diagnosis that the dr could pinpoint.

My SIL brought him to a homeopathic who began some treatment and then referred him to a kinesiologist. This lady was a life saver for them. She was able to identify things that were putting my nephews system out of balance. She did a home visit in addition to the office visit to see how my nephew was in his home environment. I really don't know how it all works but she saw a noticeable difference when he was at home.

As a result, my brother and SIL had some environmental company come out and do tests. Sure enough, there was a huge mold issue in the house. They renovated according to the company's recommendation and my nephew has been fine since. He still goes to the homeopathic dr and the kinesiologist but he has improved tremendously.

I have talked to quite a few people who have gone to this kinesiologist and she has done wonders for their "issues" as well.

Stress can also cause flare ups for MCS as well as many other diseases. I know you have been under a lot of stress lately. Is there someone that you can talk to about things that are going on in your life? A friend? A family member? Heck, even the pharmacist. LOL. (My pharmacist and I have become good friends now. She's great). Managing stress may help with the MCS.
