How many fibro people has been tested for mold poisoning? I recently read a article on this and the symptoms are very similar. I'm going to have myDr do labs to test it out.

Members responded enthusiastically to a question about mold poisoning and fibromyalgia, with many sharing personal experiences of mold exposure in their homes, positive allergy tests for mold, and worsening symptoms in damp or moldy environments. Several members expressed strong interest in getting tested themselves, sharing practical concerns about blood tests versus home testing, landlord responsibilities, and the challenge of finding doctors willing to order the tests. A recurring theme was uncertainty about whether mold causes fibromyalgia or simply worsens existing symptoms, with most members agreeing that environmental factors like mold deserve serious attention and further research in understanding their condition.

You need to know for your health, you don't have to tell her you're getting tested. Then if you tested positive you can decide then if you want to tell her. One step at a time. Get tested.

Among the other things I am studying in my research on FM is environmental factors. Haven't looked into this yet. I know that mold is responsible for many breathing ailments; my son and his little girl are asthmatics and have to really be careful when weather causes mold and other bacterias. I'll put this on my list, too, to research!

http://www.mold-help.org/ This article though a few yrs old is saying there could be problems from mold causing many illnesses including lupus, fibro and more. But as of this article date the gov has not approved any testing for it. Must follow up on this one.

This is my second day of using pure crystal organic msm. I am starting with 2 grams a day, my goal is 20 grams but I want to work up slowly. You mix it with water or juice, it is very bitter. I am excited based on all of the books about its effects on pain and other benefits. I am also trying dmso cream on hot spots. So far, I can feel a difference, but I need more time so I will keep you all updated. I am also taking other supplements such as magnesium, also no carbs, no sugar and intense green juicing, question is has any one else tried msn crystal in high doses and or dmso cream ?
