probable diagnosis

[mrsturbo]

Hello all. I have been posting on this forum off and on for over a year. I have had almost every single symptom of MS during that time. But like so many of you none of the tests showed anything.  My husband kept telling me that our home was making me sick, but I did not believe him, even though all symptoms started a few months after we moved in.  Well we finally had our home tested for mold and he was right!  The air qualities in our home were extremely toxic.  We have given up our home and almost everything in it.  I feel much better as far as the brain fog, headaches, and fatigue are concerned.  We thank God for revealing this to us before any one in our family got worse. My second son has had GI issues since we moved in and our daughter started having the same issues recently.  We pray that this is the answer we have been looking for.  I urge anyone going through this horrible time of knowing your sick, but not having any firm diagnosis to look into where you spend most of your time.  I am a stay at home mom so I was surrounded by toxins almost 24 hours a day. I went back to my neuro last week and she confirmed that toxic mold can cause all of the same symptoms as MS plus more. Thank you all for all your support over the past year.

I also want to thank you for taking the time to pass this information on... I hope it will get people thinking about their surroundings...
Hope your family is back on the road to good health

Mrsturbo,
thanks for sharing that news with us ... I was discussing mold poisoning a while back with a friend and its ability to mimic neurological problems.  


You've given us an imporwaant reminder to stay ope n to the possibilities.  Not everything is MS.  I am so glad to know that your problem is correctable -


be well,
Lulu

Hi,

Mold can be a really big problem, a toxic mind field, my daughters little flat has a mold issue and her health has been affected. My house on the other hand is mold free, chemical free in side and out, even the food we eat has no additives, colours, chemicals or preservatives because of my sons allergies. I do believe toxins that we are exposed to can affect our body and brains (eg. if theres feel good foods why not feel bad foods?) but i'm afraid mold isnt the cause of my condition, pity it isn't and i'm really glad you've found out what your problem is.

Cheers.....JJ
