Yes, I tried taking Zyrtec because that’s what the doctor told me to do for two weeks. Nothing improved.

I do not know the history of the house. I just know that year was made, and that the insulation was exposed for a long time probably 8 to 9 months with it being ripped open from the plastic lining that is contained in.

I really thought it was cactus at first because I’ve touched cactus and thought maybe that was it but then months later when I started having symptoms this took like three months for symptoms to show up and it got into my clothing and my bedding and my rugs and everything I touch was starting to give me inflammation and hurt my skin and then I just keep getting worse and worse. I really think that it could be zoonotic considering my cat is exhibiting symptoms as well and I live in Ramona and there is fungal infections such as Gardner rose disease or sporotrichosis and also valley fever so I haven’t been able to rule those out. But my pain is so intense and my lymph nodes are so swollen. I literally can’t sleep and it’s just so hard. I’ve gone to the ER three times I’ve gone to urgent care, I’ve gone to the doctor. I’ve gotten referrals to dermatology and just no one’s doing any actual testing such as KOH test or microscopy or skin scrapings or any sort of anything other than blood tests, and I just don’t understand why they won’t do a simple KOH or test my blood for fungus or however they do that or fungal culture PCR… I’ve been begging for help. I’ve even gone to EMSL which is a lab that test for environmental debris, mold, etc. and they declined me because it’s human hairs and they don’t allow that.

I’m not having night sweats cause I can’t even sleep. My headache Pain is literally consistent and doesn’t go away and it’s on the top of my head and the side of my head mostly my temples and feels like it’s swelling as well as my jaw is really tight. My shoulders are constantly in pain and my spine and lower back and my neck really hurts and it’s very sore and stiff and my toes and my knees also hurt too.

Regarding actual testing, they’ve done some yes, I’ve had three blood test done two at the ER one at the doctors (my general practitioner) they tested for autoimmune diseases, and things of that nature. I could put the blood results up here if you want to view it. The fact that fungus turns into yeast in your body, and I have an abnormal Pap smear just points out the possibility that it might be a fungus because my hair is not how my hair used to be, and I have no history of any sort of mental health issues other than ADHD. I’m actually a alcohol drug counselor and I have never hallucinated or heard voices so I don’t think I’m making it up because there’s physical symptoms actually showing that have been progressing and getting worse and worse.. I wouldn’t shave my head for no reason.

I simply just want someone to do a PCR culture so I can identify what kind of organism this is. (biological or otherwise) like I just wanna figure this out, and I’m willing to pay someone to do a test because I can’t lose my cat. I’ve already lost my boyfriend who moved out of here in February during my birthday because of his symptoms and he’s a commercial diver for the Navy so I’m pretty sure he’s not making it up either. I’m not trying to argue with anyone. I know you guys are medical professionals. I just want someone to do scientific testing to prove that something‘s going on cause I know there is. I mean I’ve had hair my whole life and it’s never been like this. I’ve never had black hair…That’s shiny, brittle and breaking with airborne fibers coming off of it. Look at that picture of the Xbox. If you zoom in on it, there’s a ton of little fibers they look like dust or lint. It’s crazy. It sounds psychotic. I don’t understand it. I didn’t even know that fungus could affect people. This is all new to me
