I was diagnosed with sarcoidosis about March of 2012 I was put on a steroid for about year and anyone who has taken steroids knows that weight gain is part of that. The doctors and I were unable to locate where I might have gotten it. Any way we had An issue with our air conditioner freezing and then when it defrosted it ran under our floor causing cosmetic damages we thought so about 4 years later when we saved up the money we had tile put installed and the contractor found mold right where I the intake flow was and our bed upstairs is right under the vent. So I guess with my rambling is please if you find any mold have it removed for your health.

if its black mold it is bad for anybody, not just us fibromites. It can cause life threatening pneumonia and tons of lung problems. Our bodies already have a compromised immune system. You would be much more susceptible to it.
