I think it's highly likely that it is to do with mold. I was living in a water damaged building for a few years and was sick and getting sicker while I was there. It took me a long time to see that it was the damp building causing it - my GP kept telling me it wouldn't be. In the end I had bad vertigo, constant dizziness, eustachian tube dysfunction, dreadful anxiety, asthma, mucous production, dry eyes, a hoarse voice, fatigue, muscle weakness and when I needed to wee I had about 3 secs to get to the loo before it was on!
Now from reading, the mold thing is a no-brainer, but it took me 5 doctors of me saying: 'I wonder if it might be the house?' before one said - yep, get out of that house (am in Australia). Lesson = trust my gut feeling!
Anyway, rave aside (sorry) it's a year since we moved and lots of those things have gone or lessoned, but it seems my immune system is still in disarray. I am seeing an immunologist about MCAS soon.
When you say you have had mild improvement, is that also after the medication from the MCAS specialist?
Thanks.
