This is clearly Mold. However, how bad is it??? Normal? A little more than that? Nothing to be worried about?
Please also assume that there are 2 sick people within and that the two of them have lived there for 13 years.
Hi everyone. Im from Morocco. We're 3 people living on a small apartment that's close to sea and whose humidity levels can go up to 99%. 2 of us have been sick, have developed abnormal intolerances, and have been getting IBS symptoms for years. We both used to be completely fine. The other person is also suffering from non-infectious urinary problems which they report are making their lives a living hell.
As for me: I have been dysfunctional for *literal* years.
It took me a very long time to realize that. But eventually, I came across the conclusion that I was pushing through debilitating amounts of GI and non-GI symptoms.
I tried doing sports —my joints wouldn't allow because of the pain, I couldn't eat without massive gas & bloating/distension. I tried socializing —my symptoms wouldn't allow me because they made me dizzy/in-disequilibrium, unable to articulate because of mouth sluggishness, lethargic, etc. I tried reading and even tried figuring out what could be wrong —I couldn't because going through texts felt impossible due to the dizziness and blurry vision.
My symptoms are constant. I have been making the exact same claim —with the exact same symptom cluster— for dozens of months now. They don't just come for say 5 days and leave me alone for 2 and then repeat, no ; ever since it's started, I've been experiencing GI/systemic symptoms for 90% of my life. If you wanna know more, I kindly ask that you scroll through my profile.
Anyways. Apparently people are trying to bring CIRS and mold illness to the conventional medicine world. So, even though this is delusional, I am presenting myself and am willing to cooperate however is wished for if it means that we'll be receiving a —currently inaccessible— treatment. That’s all I’ll be asking for.
I'll leave some prominent pics to give you an idea
I’ve had a colo and endoscopy done to me last week. The title sums up exactly what I’ve had show up. But basically, everything that’s been biopsied has shown some kind of inflammation. My problems, tho, aren’t even primarily GI-tract-related ; my symptom summary is as follows. :
Tinnitus - dizziness/disequilibrium - light/sound/touch sensitivity - joint pain - (literal) food intolerance - constipation - reflux (TONS! Like sometimes 30 burps an hour … and I spend the full day having burps come from deep within) - slurred speech - facial swelling - tingling - shaky voice, from reflux possibly - etc.
These symptoms happen pretty much on a constant basis. Whether I am fasted, on a diet, on the colonoscopy protocol, anything —it doesn’t matter!
It’s been the case for 5 and more years and trust me when I say that I haven’t had a single day be the exception.
I’ve started PPIs today. I don’t know what to expect from them. But Id like to have a reality check from the community regarding whether or not the endoscopic findings could be an important factor to my symptoms.
Thanks.
22M. I have the appointment in exactly 2:30 hours. I drank the prep yesterday afternoon and it involved 4 liters of water. Currently, I am feeling extremely dehydrated and feel very ‘heavy’.
I didn’t ingest anything yesterday aside from the prep. I also didn’t eat much the day prior. But I don’t think that was the main/only issue tho since Im pretty used to water-fasting.
Im forced to push through and not consume anything till Im done with the endo/colono … but oh man is this shit gonna be tough LOL.
