What are your symptoms? Did anyone get better. I have ochratoxin A at 15 have brain fog.
Major depression feeling like loosing my mind
Getting worse daily.

Do mold symptoms have a pattern

All day everyday
In morning then go away
Only in environment

Mine are worse mornings upon waking g and now lasting thru first part of day.

Need help figuring out ifmold is my big problem before I spend thousands on LLMD

If you have lyme - you will need to treat it too.

Can’t you do both ? ie - test and clean (or move) your home; then treat mold and lyme ?

Do an ERMI test on where you’re leaving. Get a prescription for Cholestyramine and see if that helps.

Mold was 30% of my problem and led to a bartonella infection being able to come out I believe from aspergillus suppressing my immune system.

This stuff effects everyone differently and is often hard to tell apart.

I have Lyme I just don't know if it is causing my current symptoms.

I treated lyme and was symptom free so I stopped herbs then later I got these new symptoms neuro symptoms ... I just don't want to stir up the hornets nest if I'm just having mold symptoms.

Hmmm -maybe good idea to focus on mold then... and see how you feel.

I'm so depressed and brain fogged that I'm talking with SP office on mon...thinking of setting up apt with sp. but what if I create more problems and bring out something dormant and it turns out was a mold issue? It's also really expensive and I don't want to get sicker. Herx etc. it's risky ...

So I wish I knew before. I have apt with natro( ll) next week. But she seemed to stop at mold.

I can't really move. I will order the ermi I guess.

I was thinking of going with MR as he uses both herbs/ ABX . But last thing I read on his site was " make sure it's not mold before"

So I'm just in a pickle.
Symptoms wise it could be mold or Bart I suppose. It's mind boggling.

If anyone has a tip or can tell me what they would do I'll take it. I'm swirling around in a nightmare.

So depressed and well very dark upon waking and now further into day... I'm sick.

Lightlife,

I posted on your other threads but wanted to address the title of this post - mold vs infections.

IMO, exposure to water damaged buildings and mold should be considered a threat to anyone with Lyme or chronic illness due to the immune suppressing and organ damaging effects of the toxins found in these buildings.

In order to tease out mold vs infections, there are several ways to do this. These are the 3 tests needed. You can do all or pick one or two.

1. HLA-DR genetic test (blood test for genetic susceptibility to mold, Lyme, and more; may be covered by insurance)

2. Mycotoxin urine test (Realtime Labs ir Great Plains; Tricare and Medicaire may cover Realtime; unsure of insurance coverage on Great Plains). Reveals if you have elevated levels of mycotoxins from toxigenic mold exposure most often related to water damaged buildings.

3. ERMI test - PCR analysis of dust samples collected to determine the overall moldiness of the environment tested.
