She is having symptoms of fever, shortness of breath, severe body aches, confusion, short term memory loss and headaches. Also, realizing that my husband is having reoccuring migraines, and my son has a chronic cough, sinus infections, etc. I decided to do some research on my own. My daughter has been to many doctors, ER visits, allergy tests, etc and no one has mentioned mold exposure. All bloodwork comes back normal. IS there a medication she can take to get better? Also, we are in the process of cleaning our home of mold after high levels of mold were found in the basement. I’m going through so many similar issues with my 20 year old daughter.

I can't see it anywhere on the walls, but I'm sure it's infested. I am sure of this because I once left some bread out and it got moldy. I immediately took the bread outside and buried it deep in a hole in the back yard. However, I'm sure toxic mold spores were released into the air from the bread sitting there on my counter for a few days - and now these microscopic death spores have been sucked into my heating ducts and have been circulating toxic fungus throughout my house and into my lungs. In addition to the bread mold, I discovered mold growing on my shower curtain. It too has probably been releasing poison into the air and onto every single surface in my home. I am very concerned for my life and the precious lives of my family. Just like radiactive fallout, this invisible mold has coated every square inch of my belongings, so instead of wiping them off, I am not going to take any chances and am going to dispose of everything. I am certain I have felt differently since discovering the moldy bread. I can't seem to remember anything, I have gotten depressed. I sometimes have trouble sleeping. I've had headaches, backaches, stomach aches, sore throats, sneezing, coughing, wheezing, itchy eyes and athletes foot. I get angry often. I have trouble staying interested in boring TV shows. I argue with my wife. Yes, I have had symptoms like this before in my life, but I see all this litigation going on about mold and I just know I have been infected and permanently damaged by the ravishing effects of this terrible terrible toxic mold. There is no way it can be attributed to anything else. I don't know what to do. I wish there was someone I could call who could help me out of this situation. I would be so very grateful and relieved to get some sort of large financial settlement out of this like other victims - it would definitely bring me piece of mind and probably alleviate most of these horrible symptoms of toxic mold that are currently killing me. There has to be someone to blame for this - most likely my landlord. It's his property afterall. He has several rental properties so I'm sure he is loaded. I love your informative site and am so thankful to see so many companies advertising on this site that make their money specifically from people like me suffering from the effects of toxic mold death. Please tell me who I can call to get some help with my horrific situation before it's too late. Thank you.

I don't havethe energy to tell my story, but suffice it to say that I was exposed to a tremendous amout of mold, over a period of time, and now have Addison's Disease. What has been a sheer Hell for me, has been my crazy ability to detect those certain spores or toxins on family members who come over after having been in thatsame apt. (in the woods) I get strange symptoms, like my eyes blinking or squeezing shut, a clicking or cracking sound inmy head, joints popping, and a 'stupid', pressure-like feeling in my head, as wellas inability to think well, and often, anger. When I hold objects the exposed people have brought over, I get those same symptoms...everything gets contaminated! I wish to God, I didn't have this terrible ability to detect it,as it makes me so miserable (forgot to mention anxiety and depression, as well!)and it has cost me not only my health, but the love and support of my family...I feel so very alone in this. Thank you all, for understanding, and I hope you all get relief from this devastating problem. Hi,

I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my partner and 2 children. Our baby is in the room with us. Its a pretty small master bedroom with an ensuite. The ensuite had a leak behind the wall for months and we only realised this when the timber around it looked damp. Then we noticed mould was growing on the walls on our bedroom. I started to complain about a musty smell. I also noticed i was getting colds and flus and was very tired all the time. The up to 3 weeks ago my breathing start getting worse at night. Then it was getting much worse every night until i couldnt take it anymore. I went to the Dr. She gave me antibiotics for a chest infection. They did nothing for me, i then went back and she gave me an inhalor and sent me for a chest xray with a note saying "check for 'something?' fibrosis". Now im waiting for the results and moved to my parent home. My breathing has much improved at night but im still coughing like mad throughout the day and night. My breathing is still a tiny bit tight now but the improvement is 80%. Im just hoping the dr. doesnt tell me the worst. Is this normal woth other mould sufferers and is it possible to get fibrosis from mould exposure?? And if its not Fibrosis could i have a permenant lung problem now?????

There is mold everywhere! I have never had allergies in my life, now I find that I have Hay fever, I get to work and my nose and eyes run, for the last two weeks or so I even feel nautious there. I am reading about the depression being caused by mold exposure. I'm wondering about that, I've been pretty crabby lately, well for the last year I think.
