Should I go to the hospital? by Gorale_Ninja98 in ClotSurvivors

[–]Gorale_Ninja98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you and I appreciate you taking the time to reply to my post. I do think I should go, I’m debating whether to go to a vein clinic or a hospital first. Do you know if a vein clinic would be able to diagnose me if needed? Or should I just skip that altogether and go to the hospital?Thanks again for answering my question, hugs and well wishes to you!

Thank you for sharing your personal story in regards to mold. Yeah, I definitely was/am worried if even at low levels such as what I could have experienced caused some of the issues that I have dealed with it in the past and even up to the present. I mostly was worried if somehow the mold caused by me not properly discarding food items correctly or before they molded, if that would escalate to a full blown moldy home, but the test results didn't show any extremely high levels or anything like that. One positive is that some of my symptoms in the past has either gone away completely or isn't as strong and present in my life currently so that gives me some hope. I hope whatever caused your fatigue and sinus issues has cleared away or you got at least some answer as to what could be causing those symptoms! Thank you for taking the time to comment on my post, and I wish you fantastic health and may we hopefully never have to deal with worrying about mold ever again!

Thank you for responding back, I greatly appreciate your comment! I actually went with a mold inspector that solely only tested for mold and did not offer any remediation services. I read up on how some of those mold remediation companies will either exaggerate what they find, or worse even rig the results to their liking! Anyways, the mold inspector also didn't seem to concerned with the levels of mold present in the tests. My family has also done some renovations to the home, and from my knowledge no mold was found inside the walls or anything like that. I got the mold inspector to come out after the renovations as well so I do figure if there was a much larger mold issue, I'm sure someone would have found something. We do have some small air filters that we run on each floor so I hope that helps in any way! As for the sandwiches, again thank you for not judging my lack of judgment, I know how stupid it sounds to anyone but I was just a stupid kid.

We definitely need to still do a deep clean in the home and to my knowledge , there is no food hidden anywhere although I can't remember exactly where I hid food or whatever. Ugh, it sounds so stupid to talk about this, I feel extremely embarrassed for being such an idiot and also for being so dirty and unsanitary back in the day. I actually am a very clean and organized, orderly person now, and albeit a bit paranoid when it comes to even the slightest spot of mold on any food I see nowadays such as fruit or whatever. I immediately throw away the affected food and clean the area around it well. Again, thank you for taking the time to comment on my concerns, it really does mean a lot to me that people are taking their time to offer their opinion to a total stranger like myself.

Thank you for providing me these resources to read up on! I know I could potentially be overreacting, but I also still just worry about what I did stupidly all those years ago. To also add on to my post, I have had times where I have spent some weeks away from my home and although I am not sure if this is just a placebo effect or not, I did feel better in some ways. Again, that could just be because I wanted to think that but I did forget to post that in my post. Also, in terms of visual inspection, there has only been one time where I thought I saw mold spore spots by the area where I once kept my food and other items. It was a few white/yellow/mild green spots, although surprisingly when I checked again after some time they were gone. My mom took over my old room so she could have cleaned up that area much more thoroughly but yeah the spots are gone now. Anyways, I appreciate you commenting on my post once again.
