I was diagnosed with Chronic fatigue and asthma in 2001 when I lived in an apt with mold. I moved got better, forgot about it most of the time, moved somewhere else that now has mold and the past 4 months I have been so exhausted I can barely function, am depressed from not having a life, and am having trouble breathing. The past few nights I have woken up gasping for air. I went to an asthma dr. yesterday who said it has returned.He gave me a nubulizer treatment and I felt 100% better. Wow! this is how the rest of the world feels? within 2 hrs of coming home I was having trouble breathing again and was exhausted. So I had 6 great hrs. with a nebulizer treatment. So far the singular and advair he sent me home with hasnt helped.
I dont know what advise I need, I am just in shock that I could feel so dramatically different yesterday and now what do I do? I dont have money to move somewhere without mold,seems mold/calif./slumlords/go hand in hand. Dr. didnt give me a nebulizer, does anyone have the same results from singular or advair? Has anyone ever had extreme fatigue from asthma? Posted on 05/09/09, 06:05 pm |

Again, having read this post too now, call the doctor and get a prescription for a nebulizer and nebulizer fluid. As for the moldy conditions, you might be able to either make the landlord clean up the problem, or to get the funds to move under current disability laws, especially in California. Call your township and county board of social services and speak to a disabilities specialist. Also call your local health department and report the mold. There might even be local laws forcing a cleanup, particularly if others are likewise effected.

I agree with jurseygurl. Definitely call your landlord, and social services.
I do get extremely tired from my allergies on some days and I'm not sure exactly what causes it because some days are worse than others. Today was one of those mornings...I want to cry when forcing myself to get out of bed in the morning. I hope you come to some solution with this.

Thanks for sharing that with me. I know what you mean about some days you feel like crying. My dogs sometimes have to stand on me and jump up and down before I will get up and I drag myself outside to walk them and half the time I find out I have my clothes on inside out. Just thinking about the things I have to do to have a life overwhelm me. I'm hoping the allergy and asthma meds help. thanks.
