The last two weeks have been pretty dreadful with a day or two of a serious crash. My main complaint is "mold". I found this charming nearly 100 year old farmhouse to rent. As my husband says "It's a dump", with hard work wonderful landlord I fixed it up pretty well.
We moved in May 2015 when I was healthy, by August I noticed I was having trouble going up the stairs and had less energy and strength. I assumed my SIBO was back, whilst waiting for insurance auth for rifaxamin I was treated with Cipro and my chronic diarrhea was gone! Then rifaxamin, my bloating was gone. My fatigue, weakness, leg muscle wasting continued to get worse. At first rains, November I developed sore throat, congestion, chronic cough, SOB, that lasted til February when rains stopped, humidity lowered and the temperature was warm.
In March my cpk was elevated 435 so we tried prednisone, doxyclcline to no avail By April I was on disability, Valtrex, LDN, and Prozac for EBV and Coxsackies B elevated titres. My energy is better, strength is better, but..... I am reacting to the mold in this old beloved farmhouse.
My symptoms are unusual, very heady affects my eyes first tension blurry, confusion, very foggy, inability to focus, weakness, lack of strength, numbness in feet. As soon as I leave bathroom or kitchen I can feel it subside, but the feeling lingers. My morning coffee or tea make the symptoms worse.
All of these symptoms I had in 2008! But i recovered to about 80%. I lived in a moldy house then and was very hypersensitve. I moved and over time my symptoms resolved.
I am trying to understand why am I reacting to this house NOW the way in which I do? Is it because of anti-virals? I don't see the house has changed but that I have. Have I been reacting to the mold all along with my other symptoms of fatigue and weakness? Is this ME/CFS or just a moldy old house with a moldy old gal?
