Too many antibiotics!

Too many antibiotics!

I took antibiotics for almost 10 years straight due to chronic sinus infections.  After about 8 years of this, I started to smell and see black mold in my very long-term rental.  The landlord didn't do anything after telling me she would for a couple of years, so I got the building inspector in and he forced her to remediate the mold and she threw me out after living there for 25 years!  After moving out, the sinus infections stopped and my doctor was finally convinced that I had developed a sensitivity to mold.  I've been really sick for a long time with many and varied 'symptoms' (the list is very extensive) and have been told by a naturopath that I'm not absorbing nutrients or protiens.  I'm losing weight like crazy and losing hair and eyelashes and my brain feels like it's working at 50% capacity.  I can't get well no matter what I do!  Probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enymes, special diet for candida, gluten free diet (my granny was gluten intolerant), lactose free diet (was born lactose intolerant), stress reduction, staying away from mold, etc.  What kind of damage has all of those antibiotics caused to me and my digestive and immune systems?  I also feel like my endocrine system has been damaged, but nothing showed up in my TSH test.  Can anyone help me please!?

It is probably the mold that has cause all these issues more than the antibiotics.  Did you throw out every thing in the house with mold ?If not then you probably brought the mold into your new place.  A lot of sufferers have to move and start all over.  This is to ensure you do not keep bringing the mold spores to wherever you move.  Your body seems to be sensitive to it and you may need to seek out a doctor who specializes in this.
