Carla,

I get stinky too when I'm detoxing. Have you done an epsom bath? That or sauna usually helps me.

I sent you a pm with my email.

I'm so glad you are having good results with the NAET. I would love to get your email if you feel like sharing!

Hi everyone! I got worse after the last time I posted last night. I took another shower before bed, LOL!

By the time I went to be I felt like I was going to cry like I used to before herxes. I felt very emotional. I also felt overwhelmingly fatigued. I had horrible air hunger .... I constantly felt like I couldn't get enough air .... I stayed calm though and didn't hyperventilate. :) I was achey.

So, I emailed our friend G and she said it sounded like the mold was losing it's living quarters and that I'd detox all kinds of stuff. I get the idea that it's a domino effect .... I lose the mold, so the metals, fungi, bacteria and viruses no longer have one of their places to hide.

I took some chlorella, magnesium, and zeolite. She mentioned some other stuff, too, that I'll take today. I think I'm already feeling a bit better than yesterday, but certainly not the 100% that I felt for the first couple days after getting rid of the bed.

This morning I feel shaky, like I've had to much to drink the night before. I feel like my skin is sensitive like when you have the flu. I had diarrhea and now I feel nauseous. I don't have that overwhelming fatigue at the moment. I don't seem to stink, LOL!

Here's an article I found on detox reactions ..... it's referring to when you take herbs to make your body detox .... it says to slow down when you feel like I did ... in my case does that mean I go out to the garage and sleep on the moldy bed? :lol:

A cleansing, purifying process is underway, and stored wastes are in a free-flowing state. Sometimes discomfort during the healing crisis is of greater intensity than when you were developing the chronic disease. This may explain why there may be a brief flare-up in one's condition. Often the crisis will come after you feel your very best. In fact, most people feel a surge of energy during the first few days of a cleanse. It is at that point that your body dumps toxins into the blood stream for elimination. Thus the healing crisis. Do not be upset. It means your body is eliminating the toxins. Go as slowly as your body needs to so that your elimination is gradual and comfortable.

No, i dont think you need to go back and lay on the moldy bed lol Have you cleaned the area the bed was at yet?

I had to laugh the other day when i askd you about the hepa filter in a vacuum. I looked at my vaccum and guess what it was an hepa filter one lol. I only use the vaccum to vaccuum one area rug in the house so i never paind attention lol.

It seems you are really going in the right direction if you feel that bad. I would eat some blueberries. That is what i do when im detoxing the mold. Im thinking i need to go full force like you are and get it all out once and for all, but im scared.

who has not slept all night and now kids are getting up, ughhh

Sorry about the insomnia Paula. I woke up before 6 AM and thought, what's up with THAT? Then I realized, it was 7 hours sleep. Before I got ill, 7 hours was how long I slept if I wasn't distubed. :) I know my PA would say 8, but I'm waking up on my own and not feeling like I need to go back to sleep ... going to be earlier, means getting up earlier!

So, my days just got three hours longer. LOL.

My kids helped me do a thorough cleaning of my room last weekend. We aired it out (it has 9 windows), we vacuumed with the HEPA, we used the smaller vacuum where the big one couldn't reach, we dusted .... we washed everything .... I think if there were mold still here that I wouldn't be having the detox reaction. :)

Thanks for the suggestion on the blueberries. Maybe I'll put berries in my smoothie instead of my normal mango and pineapple.

The no sleeping is not health related but stress related.My parents fly out today for their cruise and im freaking out over here. One reason its 9/11 and the second reason, i always worry about them lol. Plus my 7 yr old has oral surgery today. They also wanted me to get up at 5 am and wake them up and make sure their flight was going to be on time.

I am going to start an complete cleaning of this house today. The hepa vacuum will be my best friend for a few days lol.

I am so jealous of the smoothie. One day I am convinced I will be able to eat one lol

Paula, don't worry about your parents! I hope your son's surgery goes smoothly.

I lost three pounds yesterday!!! I always weigh 131-132 every day ... no matter what I ate the day before. Today I weighed 128! I worked hard to gain this weight (might not make sense to you Californians, ROFL). I did eat less yesterday because I just wasn't that hungry, but that's not too abnormal. I did have a little diarrhea, but I didn't go more times than normal, so it wasn't like having the flu. I'm just shocked by this! Ugh, and I already gave my daughter all my expensive, small jeans!!!

And, I feel intoxicated ... no, more like I'm drugged. I think I'll go take an epsom salt bath. This is horrible. Way different than Lyme symptoms. Good thing Adam's out of town, I wanted to die last night (not suicidal, just didn't want to live because it hurts too bad, you know what I mean?) ... he gets upset and calls it my death wish. It's just like every cell hurts. It has to feel better when this passes, right?

How can one go from feeling nearly 100% to this? Just a venting rhetorical question .....

Rachel, miss mold expert, where are you??

Carla maybe just cut back on any herbs or supps that induce cleansing, but keep up with the binders and stuff that help it "release" - if that makes sense. At least until you feel a bit better.

You could have stirred up some mold particles when you cleaned. The blueberries are a good idea. They are supposed to also "bind" with certain toxins. I am not sure what - I had an article somewhere. I'll see if I can find it.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing April. I am stopping all my detox stuff that releases toxins. I'm only taking binders. I am also going to buy some liver support. Our good friend from LN recommended that because nausea can be from toxic overload of the liver.

I think it would be dangerous at this point to release any more toxins. I have a headache, am really foggy like I'm drugged, nausea comes and goes, diarrhea comes and goes .... I'm having heart palpitations and air hunger, that's why I think I should not stir anything else up. I've had worse palps and air hunger, but this is the worst I've had in months. I just got a shower so I can go out in public, LOL. Now I'm off to buy some more chlorella, ran out last night and the liver support G recommended.

No, I don't think you should go back to the bed in the garage. Sounds like you've got some good advice. This sounds like a hard detox. I hope the binders, blueberries and liver support help you out.

Do you have help with Adam out of town and M back in school.....I'm assuming M has started school already anyway.

who has not slept all night and now kids are getting up, ughhh

I was up most of the night doing a thorough scan of the computer since a virus came up. Try not to worry about your parents. Hope they have a good time.

Hope the oral surgery is/has gone smoothly and you can relax for a bit.

No, Andrea, both my college students are back to school. Morgan is in Spain!!!!! She's having a great time.

I made it to Whole Foods today, but walked around like I was 100. I'm not feeling any better at all, if anything worse. I'm having heart palps and air hunger. Every cell hurts. I was told this was the worst kind of detox and until today I would have argued with that.

Man Carla that sucks!! You know when I first moved into my grandmas house I had all those same symptoms? My eyes were swollen, I felt achy like I had a hangover, my neck and head hurt, diarrhea and heart palpitations and nausea.

I also was taking more detox herbs thinking that I needed to get rid of the toxic overload. I felt worse doing that. And I was just taking more burbur. All others were vitamins or binders.

Man it's so bad thier, it's like I can taste the dirt. She lives right by some grapevines so I'm sure the dirt is blowing from thier. I need to get out fast.

Did you leave you place at least 2 hours after you dusted? It takes at least 2 hours for dust to settle.

I wore like 2 masks on my face when I dusted. If I sleep their I have to wear a mask to sleep or I will wake up with a headache and swollen eyes. I have to put cotton in my ears or they will itch and I will lose some hearing. I'm sure that's from dust mites. My tongue is more white in the morning to but I think that's because my dumb uncle sprays on his deordorant.

Carla,

Sorry this has been so rough. It sounds absolutely miserable to go through. Not for the weak anyway. You're a very strong person. :D I don't know that I'd have the fortitude to go through something like this......not that any of us has a choice if we have to.

Why do you think i have been putting it off. Im afraid to feel the way you are. Im use to feeling mold toxic that i can cope with it on most days, but im afraid of the detoxing and not being able to handle it. But i guess i need to get strong and get this mold out of me.

I was also thinking about the mold with you while i was trying to sleep. Do you think the mold is what caused your fibro?

Kassandra,

I got your update, there is so much i want to say about it but I will have to do it when im less sleep deprived.

I believe you can only edit for a limited amount of time now, then the post is set.

Have any of you heard of chemical imbalance tests? Do you know what they are, what lab runs the tests?

well my parents landed to their destination just fine, they wont be on the cruise til late tommorow night. But im not worried about the cruise, just about the flight. My sons oral surgery went great, but he has to have another tooth pulled cause it is dead. He has really bad teeth and i feel so bad for him. He also had to have cavities filled and they did the mercury free, yayy for dentist that care. My stepson is always away for an 2 day tournament and he is fine. So now i think i can sleep tonight lol

Andrea,

Are you looking like for an test for chemicals that have to do with like bi-polar or something.

Were is rachel, i think she abonded us again. Or she went and got an life and forgot about us.

Sorry you're going through mold issues too Paula and Lisa.

Carla I didn't get your update...

Sounds pretty bad. Did you back off on Enula and your abx and stuff? Seems like what you are doing is good. A few times I have done a second ecoffee during the bad days and it helps a lot.

Sorry, Sherry, I sent it to you.

I stopped everything. I took Malarone this morning, but that was all. I took Magnesium, some liver support, and a bunch of chlorella.

I'm currently on Buhner herbs, no abx. I stopped the herbs.

I was afraid to take anything, heck, I was afraid to stir up things by moving too much! I must have really sounded bad because Adam called a couple hours later and he never does that. I'm doing better now, but as soon as my kids finally get to bed, I'm right behind them, though I may chat for a while before I go to sleep.

I really feel for those of you who have mold exposure .... it's way worse than I thought!

It was mentioned by a friends' brother to have T tested for chemical imbalances to see if it's something like that behind her anger and outbursts (like attacking me). We've got a program we can look into but it's run by DSHS and I don't really want to go there right now.

Sure hope you feel some relief soon, Carla.

Andrea, not sure what the letters stand for. Would it be expensive? I wonder about trying something like SCD or some of the other dietary approaches that work for autism and other neuro symptoms. Seems like it could be a neuro symptom and not just "attitude."

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
