False Alarm

After suffering for over a year and a half and losing my job, it turns out that I wasn't suffering from food allergies after all. Go figure. As soon as I moved out of the apartment, my inflammations decreased from 3-5 per week to one per month, then to none in over a year as of the date of this post.

Okay I know a run on sentence. Bear with me here... I lived in constant discomfort with the hives, swellings of ALL body parts and throat closings where I had to be rushed to the hospital for treatment.

Within a week of moving out, I started to feel better and noticed the decrease in my adverse reactions to prohibited foods.

Four months after the move, I was episode free. No swellings, no restricted diet, no rushing to the emergency room for steroids.

So what caused all of my medical problems? Mold. That's it. Mold in the apartment. It took watching Know The Cause and researching one little comment that I would have otherwise missed or not have paid attention too that confirmed for me what I had originally told my allergist back in March or April of 2007.

Amazing what some professionals will do to pad their pockets. I actually stopped treatment with the allergist at the 6 month mark after hearing him comment to another patient that he was making repairs to his yacht while the new one was being delivered. Something about his comment didn't sit right with me.
