Hi I am new, and need anyone and everyones help. I've been going to doctor to doctor only to get the " its not my field " or " its not showing up on paper." excuse. and I am SUFFERING! I am 36, married w/2 girls. and want my life back. My symptoms started 3yrs ago. In my thighs..muscle pain. sharp. Then right rib pain. pins & needles only on the botton of my feet. ( towards the top) Liver pain. Blushing rash on my upper chest. I also get a folliculitisis rash on upper chest, upper arms,back,neck & face. ( they look like tiny pimples ) mouth ulcers- only on the upper roof of mouth.Trouble walking at times--looks like I waddle. Gums bleed & swell. Sporadic lose bowel function. Extreme fatigue. All my urine and blood tests are within normal limits. Only once were they abnormal. I do not have a thyroid. Which is hard to regulate, and the doctor does not listen. And my MD is beyond nice because its not an easy case. if anyone please has anything in which could help me I would appreicate it. I have been seeking help beyond my area. You just know when something is wrong with your own body...thanks

" I have been there I have been really sick for about 4 years and the doctors have no clue, I have been getting better but still don‘t have a “normal“ life. Are you taking any new medications, it could be a reaction to them? Have you been tested for vitamin deficiencies? Did this start after getting a metal filling or any metal in your body (you could be allergic to the metal)? Did it start after moving to a new house or buying a new piece of furniture (allergies to chemicals in materials or mold) ? Have you been tested for food sensitivities/ food additive sensitivities (check out the alcat test, you could even be allergic to fluoride)? Have you been tested for parasites? You probably have multiple things wrong with you that were triggered by one thing, usually something that weakens the immune system. "

" As a matter of fact it did start after i movrd into our new house. I did mention it to the doctors. Notice plural!!! My vitamin k..was low and they thought it was from my loose bowel epposodes but i didn't have them at the time!! so they blow me off. they checked my for wheat allergies..had endoscopy..fine. checking me for carcinoid tumors but tests are fine.

Meds are:
TOPAMAX: 400MG ( FOR MIGRAINES)
NECON 1/35/28
AMITRIPTYLINE 100MG (FOR SLEEP)
SYNTHRIOD 150MCG ( NO THYROID)
OXYCODONE 10/325 AS NEEDED- MIGRAINES (ALSO PAIN)

went yesterday to a new neuorologist and he basically said I was making it all come out myself. Stress. I am not a stressfully person. Can handle stuff good. and it doesn't seem to come out in sress situations. the right side of my head goes numb as well now. ( within last yr ) lose cordination and senses. might have said that earlier. thier trying to say its a new form of migraine unknown yet. I've had biopsies done of the rashes. so i know i am not crazy. Just thought maybe someone out there might be able to help...thanks "

" Get the house checked!
I found the crawling black slime mold in my house in a remodel.
Any mold can be a problem, but that is a guarantee. Don't use Chemicals-comes right back and more poison in the house. I read a book by last name 'Close' how to get rid of the mold permanently by scrubbing (Thieves Cleanser) and diffusing therapeutic grade Thieves Essential Oil. Wear tyvek I think and respirator and move lots of air out the window. Less money, nice smell and permanent if problems are fixed in house.

It could be additional or other, but mold is most common. Check radon,new carpets, wallboard, paint or etc. formaldehyde fumes.

I could say more, however, I just realized you would have trouble selling once you know some of this and it may not be fixable. Consider selling and moving. Wrong time to sell? Can be a rental? Rent to own would allow you to get a homeowner loan until prices recover.

Leakish old houses, oil fuel work for me. I often change new flooring because I know I am allergic to them right away.There are new "Green Homes" but be careful, they only need a few 'green' things to claim the label so what are they? "

" Major cause of 'mystery' diseases:

found the book!

pictures of Black Mold
http://www.helium.com/items/108251...
NOT bleach

I still say Thieves-scientifically tested and published
These oils and remedies may work, but what if they don’t last?

http://www.feelinggood.on.ca/mold_...
Edward Close (I put some below)
• That 1 in 7 Americans suffers from acute fungal sinusitis, resulting from exposure to mold.- Mayo Clinic
• That The Harvard University School of Public Health studied 10,000 homes in the US and Canada and found that half of them - that is 50% - had "conditions of water damage and mold associated with a 50-100% increase in respiratory symptoms among occupants?”
• that Medical studies have found that MOLD IS THE #1 CAUSE OF ALLERGIC SYMPTOMS.
• that According to 1999 USA Today Cover story - there’s a 300% increase in the asthma rate over the past 20 years that has been linked to molds.
Molds are microscopic fungi that produce spores and are found everywhere in the environment. In fact, all that the spores need to colonize and grow - is moisture. Within a home or building, moisture can be in the form of excessive humidity (e.g., in a bathroom or laundry room, condensation - poor insulation around windows or seeping water (e.g., from a leaky roof or pipe).
The black mold Stachybotrys found in home, office and school environments has been linked to fatal pulmonary disorders and is deadly for children.
Take the threat of Toxic Black Mold seriously; Symptoms can include:
Fatigue (chronic), Headaches, Flu symptoms (chronic), Cancer, Breathing difficulties, Allergies, Dermatitis, General Malaise, Asthma, Skin rash, Sudden hair loss, Bleeding lungs, Diarrhea, Dandruff problems (chronic) that does not go away, Hemorrhagic pneumonitis, Central nervous system problems, Recurring colds, Eye and vision problem, Chronic coughing or coughing with blood.
Typically what has been used is considered by authorities to be quite toxic. Bleach is ineffective, and chlorine bleach is toxic in and of itself. Chlorine gas can be deadly. And They Are Hazardous To Your Health.
“The use of a chemical or biocide that kills organisms such as mold (chlorine bleach, for example) is not recommended as a routine practice during mold remediation”. Source: EPA website in “A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture, and Your Home.”
Commonly used chemicals do not effectively kill molds.
For example, active fungal growth on a surface may produce a spore density of 1 million spores per square inch. Treating this site with a biocide that has an effectiveness of 99.999% would still leave an estimated 10 viable spores per square inch.
Here’s the Good News!
Dr. Edward Close
• a Recognized expert in environmental science with 40 years experience in the environmental industry
• Environmental Advisor to 15+ Fortune 500 companies
• BA, 1962, Physics/Math
• PhD, 1988, Environmental Engineering
• Member, Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA)
made a breakthrough discovery!

Dr. Close reports that black mold was completely eliminated from the environment that was tested with the use of Thieves® blend and Thieves cleaner
and surprisingly the mold did not return! It was 100% effective. In some cases Dr. Close eliminated toxic mold in as little as 24 hours.
He used both the Thieves oil blend and the Thieves concentrate- wash. The wonderful and amazing part is: the therapeutic oil blend Thieves is approved by the FDA as a Food Supplement! So yes- we can take it internally for a sore throat, infection, flu etc. as well.
REMEMBER! THIEVES (all organic) WAS FOUND TO HAVE A 100% KILL RATE WITH MOLDS.
For under $200 US you can purchase a Well & Jet Diffuser, Thieves 15 ml bottle of essential oil and Thieves Household Cleaner. Would recommend ordering 3 bottles of the essential oil (1 per day) if you have a heavy mold problem.
