My first encounter with black toxic mold in wet plywood was in 2004. I was in ICU and nobody at Yale Medical School could diagnose my condition.

Next in 2005, I was in the ICU for the same symptoms - unknown respiratory infection.

That year, the doctors at Providence prescribed Leviquin, a Johnson and Johnson product that caused my skeletal system to produce cysts on many of my joints.

I had a test for rheumatoid arthritis but the doctors did not diagnose that.

I took some of the old osteoarthritis meds by prescription that were eventually banned.

In 2008, I was teaching in a classroom that had old water damage in the ceiling. Again, I went to ICU. This time, I was put in a medically induced coma.

In 2009, I was diagnosed with hypersensitivity pneumonitis and put on Prednisone.

I was disease free as long as I avoided the black mold.

In 2018, my primary care physician noted that I was being treated for psoriasis by a dermatologist. He suggested I have another test for psoriatic arthritis.

I was diagnosed with that condition and put on a large regimen of Methatraxate. That drug cleared up my psoriasis and my arthritis symptoms.

In 2024, I started noticing allergy symptoms that seemed seasonal. There was no black mold in my environment. But I did develop chronic shortness of breath.

Now, I have been treated by a rheumatologist who tells me that that my Methotrexate is causing my shortness of breath. She wants to put me on Humira injections that cost between $1000 and $4000 per month.

I suggested that I simply need to reduce my Methotrexate to the point that my dosage reduces my shortness of breath but maintains the benefit of treating my arthritis.

Does anyone this sound familiar?

I am trying to rebuild my credit rating. Experian is the questionable credit reporting company that offered me a credit card pre-approved at Credit One Bank with an AMEX link.

I was approved. They sent me a card with a $1,000 line of credit. I charged about $40 on that card at Anazon.

The next I knew, that card company had problems linking it's account to my bank's checking account. My bank was finally able to link that card but there was still a glitch.

I finally called the card company. They said they needed more proof of income including paperwork I do not have.

I told them to close the account and to refund the $95 annual fee I had paid them. They said since I already made the Amazon purchase, they would not refund my annual fee but would close my account.

This appears to be a fraudulent behavior by Credit One Bank AMEX.

Has anyone else had a similar issue?
