I am not quite sure when you posted your story, however, I have a very similiar story. My husband and I have done extensive research on mold as it was the cause of our declining health and attacking our “5″ son’s in more way’s than we can count. You can contact me at pjojeda97@aol.com

I will say a prayer for you! And things can get better.

Susan: First you are not alone. Second I feel soooo bad for you. At least I have a home. There must be something that can be done. Try contacting Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker. He has a treatment program for mould victims that really works. I am living testamony. I am feeling much better just 3 months in. I will always live with a disability I fear but I am now feeling much better than I was. He is brilliant and has the name of several competent lawyers who fight mould cases for victims. Another such individual is Dr. Richard Lispkey. He is a lawyer that defends mould victims all over North America. Google either one or both. I realize you have no money but he will give you a lot of advise over the phone. There has to be someone you can go back on. Who sold you this house? Clearly there was misrepresentation on the sellers part. Was there a house inspection included? If so they were faulty. You need a home. Try going to Fifa and applying for a trailer through them. You are no different really than a Catrina Victim.

I know how you are feeling. I too am 44 and affected with symptoms of my mould exposure experience for life. I can no longer run and play with my 6 year old without an asthma attack. I have good and bad days depending where I go and what I get into. I am facing the possiblity of never working outside the home again. I don’t know how to face all that myself. I have no clue how to make it better. I do know this….we all need to stick together….I am a problem solver by nature….I believe we need to solve your problem….drop me an email….something just has to be possible if we don’t give up…..Jackie

We all want our homes to be a sanctuary from the world, or just a place where we are physically safe and secure. Often times we don’t think about the safety in our homes, we just plain and simply take it for granted. Sometimes unless we are faced with the catastrophic loss of our housing, or other crisis that requires us to look more closely at the situation. We usually look at the presumptions that our homes are safe, until faced with information to the contrary.

There are many housing issues in this country, i.e. scarcity of available housing, someone not being able to move because there is no place to go, or affordable housing in the region has a mile long waiting list, even the medically necessary waiting lists are very long for those deemed to immediately get out of their moldy (or unsafe for other reasons) living environment they are in at the present time.

Where have the set priorities on healthy housing, as well as housing availability and affordability gone? How can we gain a more complete vision of our potential as a community?

We could all choose to direct our energies to a prosperous and healthy future for all citizens if we were more healthy to do so.

Do we have the potential for this by coming together in fighting our odds as we stand today with our illnesses caused from these toxins that have destroyed our health, our lives, and our families? Yes, I believe that we do.

I am sure we all have the desire with the existing national community of persons ill from these toxins to join in with all the advocates that have been fighting for these same reasons for years, our rights to breath, our rights to safe environments whether it be our homes, our workplace or our schools.

Here today, I welcome all of you joining as members of my new website: The Nation’s Indoor Environment–Toxic Mold as another avenue to stand united, help one another with the support, understanding, and knowledge that we have all gained through our illnesses as mold victim’s. For today will never be the end of our endeavors, it will be the continued efforts joining together as a whole community.

There are a couple of good sites on the web for info.

Consider living in a large tent or camper on your property while you decide what to do if weather allows.

My ordeal began 7 years ago. Since then I have discovered that every doctor I used had a conflict of interest, as did the lawyers I contacted. They are heavily invested in real estate, are related to realtors, are related to the attorneys who happen to either be invested in real estate or working for landlords/insurance companies, etc.. I found four instances of this among the 10 or so docs I used, those are just the ones I can prove. The other docs don’t want to take on the COI doctors or be involved in litigation.

In your case, it is unlikely that you will get legal representation. You should not give out personal information about you or your family as if you proceed to litigation, the defense will use it all against you.

Some of the symptoms I had were face rash, eye problems, ear aches, nose bleeds, flu-like symptoms, digestive upset, uti’s, alzheimer’s symptoms, sinus infections, fatigue, dizziness, muscle aches and pains. Most cleared up to some significant degree after leaving, but I remain sensitive to many things.

Check out the two sites below and you will find useful information. Good luck and remember to take control of the situation. Document everything, pics, journal, etc.
