In my life, from April 2003 through March 2007 no one knows why my health has gone down hill. First, it was a MRI & a Nerve Conduction Study. Since April 2003, I had teeth extractions and not one of the dentist would investigate my complaints of vertigo and facial mask of numbness. After the Neurologist examined me, she told me it is TN & maybe Bulging Discs.

From this period of April 2003, I had vertigo, numbness, headaches, left side of the neck pain, left shoulder and the shoulder blade area. The Orthopedic doctor told me that I had injured myself, but that was a lie and I continued to have a left closing eye for 2 weeks and it resolved. I was sick and had no answers.

I searched out dental related problems and even tried to sue the OS. My Lawyer dropped me and the defense filed a summary judgment. I felt so violated. I spiraled into a depression, PTSD and so scared to even see any dentist, let alone getting another Lawyer.

I continued. I had married April 20, 2003 and planned to move from this apartment, but I could not even think and being physical was out of the question, so I stayed here.

In 2002, at this apartment there had been water intrusions. The bath tub and toilet had overflowed with Fecal Matter. I was left with the clean up. My bathroom cabinets had soaked up a lot of water and t began to smell. I had no ideas about Mold Growth and other problems from this experience. I felt dumb later, knowing now what I know, I look back and see that mabe my health was compromised by this experience.

My MD would not help me at all. He would not investigate any dental related complaints. I saw the OS 2 times and complained and he would not refer me to any ENT. Later, I emailed a ENT and begged to be seen.

But for now, back to my chain of events.

I suffered ad suffered with no doctor helping me. I had no insurance and the doctors told me that no one would see me without insurance. I was held hostage by this doctor at my clinic. He issued pain pills, I had Toradol Shots, because I was told all of this was Fibromyalgia related. He did one blood test for Poly Rehumatica and I did not have that.

I had close to 2 years before I had a teeth problem. I was scared to see any dentist, but I did and I panicked. He had to pull another tooth and take of a plastic bridge that was causing a pocket of bacteria. Now I have infections. I had to see the MD and get anitobiotics because the OS would not give me any.

I now had a huge sore on my stamach infected for 9 months. Later in June 2006 he cut that out of me, but he did no culture. No bloodwork either. No one told me what it was. And they still will not tell me.

I saw the new ENT and he did a Brain Scan. There was no Tumors or any MS, but he referred me to the new Neurologist. This doctor put me on B1 Shots and Folic Acid, no bloodwork as of yet. In 6 months he did a spinal tap, MRI and then bloodwork. He did a Vitamin K test. Now he tells me that I have Gluten Allergy. He tells me to go Gluten free.

I have to see a Gastro doctor now for my daily diahrrea from June 2005. I still have diahrrea. The doctor does a Colonscopy and all is okay. Later, after many months of motility pills, he does the Endoscopy Small Bowel Biopsy. I have Gastric problems. He saw Atrophic Mucosa. Now he puts me on Lomotil. I still have diahrrea one year later. I still have diahrrea in 2007. He told me it is not Gluten Allery and told me to eat normal meals.

The Neurologist graduates me to Pain Management. I had two sessions for epidurals and yes, I was out of some pain, but new pain came also. Very disturbing period.

I had a sudden outbreak of Hives in November 2006. I see my MD and he prescribes Predisone for 21 days. I pass two huge Mucus Fungus Balls. I believe that is what they had to be. I flushed them. I was so scared. But ow, if it happens again, I am prepared to save it.

I forgot to say that I have almost quit walking. That happened September 2004. They do not know why.

I saw the OBGYN. She has me do the Pelvic & Vaginal Ultrasounds. All is okay there, but maybe because of a past Adhesion Removal in 1991, she may do exploritory surgery for that. I had Endometriosis in the past. I had a Hysterectomy in 1983, so if it is that again I have no idea.

I hurt on the outside of my hips so badly. I hurt at the ankles badly. My legs below the knees just stop working all of the sudden when I walk and way to much pain.

I then did the MOLD TESTING. I did the Petrie Dish and it is reported that, "TNTC" and they mentioned Mucor sp. & Penicillium sp. Later, another MOLD TESTING, and they reported Cladisporium.

I do not know what to do next in my life to get any better.

I had to vent here.

Bye for now.

Hi again.
Sorry you're in so much pain and having these problems with the mould.

I'm not quite understanding what you've said here. Is the part about the mould really recent finding?

TNTC means too numerous to count

Are you saying that you or someone else used a petrie dish test just recently to test what moulds are in your living environment?

Have the doctors tested and found Penicillium and Mucor and Cladosporium is in your body and is causing your illness?

I don't know much about moulds of these type, but I remember another forum member from a long while ago had to move out of her place to clean out a toxic mould. She was made very ill from it as well.

I do know that some moulds like Mucor can cause very serious conditions affecting the paranasal sinuses. No idea about other parts of the body really, I'm sorry. What's happening with the teeth problems? Have you had that all fixed or is there still infection of some type. Did they test for or see any reason that might have been caused by one of the moulds?

Edited to add: p.s. the study of the effect of moulds (or molds as you all spell it) as it's related to biology... is Mycology. That might help if you're wanting to look for scientific stuff.

Hello. I have to say that you're not alone in this. Cause I too suffering of ankles, hips problems and painfull stomach cramps which come with diarrhea and other symptoms. I'm 34 year old and last year my world just crumble down. I had two good business in insulation which one was in residential and the other in asbestos removal. Of course the doctor check that at ounce but every test came out negative. They couldn't explain why gradually I kept having sharp pain in my legs, ankles, numbness fingers and toes, hips and so on, but the symptoms began in last August, got married in july and three weeks after, I was hospitalized for two weeks because I couldn't walk no more, couldn't hold my self up without having irresistible urge of pain in all my body. They did several tests which were inconclusive and they did also a spinal tap which was performed by a new intern without experience which took him 4 time with the needle before he succeeded extracting the fluid needed . Since then, I steel have nausia if I move side by side to quick, lost of balance easily and the worst his I can't go have a ride in car cause I get really sick, strong headaches, nausia and vomits. So trip for are out of the question, and it's a pain when I have to go to the doctor office.

All this to say I'd have to close my businesses, lost my house, move back with my parents house with my wife and two kids which they had to starts new schools and get a job which before she didn't need at the time, applied for social services for the moment while waiting the Disability Support Program decision with all the paperwork I've provided them with trouble cause all the test done at the hospital has to filled at the archive department and which of course did not have all the information needed at the the time and I'd have to call, fax and get the other paper at the doctor office which themselves was telling me that copies was already sent to the archives department. So frustrating those situation. But at the end the real hope in all of that is when you're kids tells you that no matter what, they're in this with you and you're not alone.

In the hardest time, there always some signs to hang on.

Goodluck to you, keep faith.

I am a fighter and the other day when seeing my doctor he told me that all of this is in my head.

Imagine that?

I have testing that says Celiac Disease, Hyper Reflexes, Facet Disease, Hives, sores, 3 Infections, Insomnia, can't walk hardly, diarrhea, gastritis....on and on it goes.

I go stronger in the eyes of Opposition.

Bye
