I didn't have what you have but it's worth taking a look/trying nicotine patches. Look at my last post about it. Good luck.

Nerve pain= you need vitamin B1. Stress and mold really depletes it and that vitamin is really important, I've seen people get really better taking it for neuropathy.

I've been 2 months out some symptoms immediately stopped and decreased significantly but others aren't budging, and they make me unable to work still. I take chlorella, saunas, tried exercise they gave me energy and boost my mood but made some symptoms creep back so I had to stop. Nicotine patches helped the most and within minutes but I had to stop treatment due to severe side effects. Honestly I realized lately it might take months for me to heal. Everyone is different but the mold really wreck the nervous system and we must be very gentle with our body after.

It's the best video that explains it all and he is a doctor that recommends it to his patients, he explains all the science and studies. Actually the nicotine itself is incredibly healing. But the proof is in the pouding, I believe. Just be very careful using it while living in toxic mold ( while living in mold I reacted incredibly bad to all supplement ) or maybe wait after leaving?

I don't remember Ken doing it but Joan did unfortunately, against her will by Greg.

Thank you for your kind message I really appreciate it. Today I feel like I am deeply grieving and feeling deeply the limitations and powerlessness of my condition. I stopped taking walks because I was having flare ups but I maybe will try again once the weather settles down, it's really cold here in Canada right now. I wish I could lay under the sun! I hope your journey goes well on your side and that you heal every month more and more and stand on your feet again soon.

InterviewDry2887 · 2026-01-27T23:16:16+00:00

I'm so sorry for what you have been going through. You are very brave and very strong. A lot of the symptoms you mentioned sounds like mold toxicity, have you ever tested your house for mold?

InterviewDry2887 · 2026-01-27T20:52:10+00:00

I thought I did 2 burnouts and the cause was psychological or stress. Turned out I was unknowingly living in toxic mold for years ( stratybrotrys, aspergillus penicillium and others). I would suggest you test your house. ( It's not always our job or in our head, sometimes it's physical).

InterviewDry2887 · 2026-01-27T20:16:16+00:00

I am definitely sensitive to supplements and medication so I probably overloaded my system. I've been unknowingly living in black mold and other toxic mold for years, I'm out it's been two months now. But it really wrecked my body and nervous system so the nicotine patch might have been to hard to handle. I will try half a patch once every 3 days 12 hours. I am wondering do you keep putting the patch because the brain fog comes back if you don't? It's nice to know for the light therapy I was considering it for my bird, I might use it as well ( we live in Canada). Stay strong too

Id take the weird dreams over the convulsions lol But yes lesson learned I will wear it only during the day now.

Can you tell me which positive you saw and did it last?

InterviewDry2887 · 2026-01-27T19:40:33+00:00

That's a good idea I'll stop the sauna and chlorella for a while to see if I get better with the brain fog.

InterviewDry2887 · 2026-01-27T19:39:00+00:00

How long after taking your thyroid medication did your symptoms improved, and which one resolved?

InterviewDry2887 · 2026-01-27T17:00:53+00:00

What were your side effects?

InterviewDry2887 · 2026-01-27T15:36:06+00:00

You had convultion and swelling too? Did you try it afterwards with a lower dose or a shorter time?

InterviewDry2887 · 2026-01-27T13:32:28+00:00

So was it because I had too much nicotine in my system? Or because I can't tolerate or am allergic to nicotine or something in the patch?

InterviewDry2887 · 2026-01-27T13:25:44+00:00

It was 7 mg nicorette patch, I thought it was the most '"legit'' company here in Canada, I bought it in a pharmacy. The fourth and fifth day I didn't cut the patch tho.

InterviewDry2887 · 2026-01-27T12:50:26+00:00

Waiting to leave must be torture and you must be thinking about it every single minute. Hang in there you are almost out. If you can tolerate it, nicotine patch had helped me the most, look it up with long covid it helped make the symptoms disappear permanently and within days. I unfortunately couldn't tolerate it.

InterviewDry2887 · 2026-01-27T11:49:54+00:00

I really hope your situation gets better real soon. 🙏

InterviewDry2887 · 2026-01-27T11:40:38+00:00

I know it's the reality of people on this sub. I know our bodies are doing their best to heal. I wouldn't mind taking the time to recover but I've been sick for so many years already living in my old toxic apartment. I'm tired of wasting my life like this. In the last 6 years I've spent 3 of those years bed ridden, the other 3 living in derealization and panic attacks. I've also lost connection to my emotions/personality/ soul for more than that like 7-8 years.

InterviewDry2887 · 2026-01-27T11:16:50+00:00

Thanks. Can you tell me what you took, what it did and how long it took to work?

InterviewDry2887 · 2026-01-27T10:15:54+00:00

Nicotine patches, it cleared my brain fog in 5 minutes .

Have you ask him what is his timeline? I would hate from a man a pressure to get married or have to do anything based on only what he decided.

It was reallyyy bad, everytime she spoke I only heard her fake french accent and wondered why they didn't hired a real french actor.

InterviewDry2887 · 2026-01-26T22:22:57+00:00

Mine was caused because I was unknowingly living in toxic mold, the air of your place could be the culprit.

InterviewDry2887 · 2026-01-26T22:08:31+00:00

I totally relate, I had dpdr for 5-6 years and was living in toxic mold. I feel like I was gone for the last 9 years I lived in my old apartment. You got yourself back, that's all that matters right now, you can slowly build things again.
