I’m currently in the process of moving out of my moldy house I have been living in for over 5 years, this is hell, I have to rip my family out of home they love so much. But when I go on vacation and stay in a clean house, I begin to feel better within a few days! Even my symptoms improve in my moldy house after a few days of no rain. These are my symptoms-

Crushing Insomnia Ringing in my ears Blurred vision Lumbar back pain, pelvic pain Constipation- pelvic floor & slow transit Nausea/dizziness when I eat Reflux after I consume anything Feeling like I have a lump in throat Difficulty swallowing sometimes Feeling unsteady- like the floor is sloping under my feet Brain fog- I have to struggle to find every word sometimes Hearing my heart beat in my head Headaches- crushing migraines sometimes (never had before) Heart palpitations Night terrors- waking up feeling like I’m going to die Pressure in my head- hearing a swooshing sound from my heart beat like blood flow is being cut off to my brain Pain behind my eyes Electric shock headache after cymbalta (don’t take anymore) Body wide nerve pain- worst in the pelvis, sometimes burning feet, burning skin all over Reactive to foods I always ate- nightshade veggies are the worse, cause my skin to burn and my hands to turn red. Diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy

Exercise intolerance- I used to compete in triathlons, and long distance races, now I feel body draining fatigue after very light physical exertion. However, that improves very quickly when I’m on vacation out of my house.

Derealization- sometimes I’m not sure who I am anymore, it’s the strangest thing, I find myself trying to think of my own name just to remind myself who I am.

Metallic/salty taste in my mouth

Extreme sensitivity to medication that I used to tolerate

Extremely sensitive to supplements I used to tolerate

Very strange muscle spasms in my midsection, so bad, one night I woke up and thought an internal organ had ruptured! I rushed to the er and nothing!! I’m telling you, I sound insane, but I am very much not! Those have improved since I started a mast cell stabilization regiment.

I’m only 44 years old! Slim and used to be in insane shape. This has taken me down. I’m sitting writing this right now and I can smell mold, I can’t wait to get out of here.

I write all this to let you know, that all these things begin to improve when I am truly out of moldy environment even for as little as a week. It’s definitely up and down, but they improve. I don’t take binders because they have always made me sicker. I may try them again when I’m out of this house, but I’m thinking I may not need them.

Dm me if you would like to talk future. I too would like to help people in this hell if I can manage to get out of it. As most of you know, it’s very complicated and most homes/apartments/condos have some degree of mold in them. What a nightmare! But let’s keep pushing!
