I have been reading this forum for about six months now while going through massive amounts of testing for everything under the sun.
I am a business teacher at a high school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvana. I was exposed to very large amounts of toxic black mold for a four-year period. Needless to say, I became very ill will an upper respiratory illness. I was given 11 different courses of antibiotics over a six month period. One of which I took every day for two months straight. While taking other antibiotics?
That was August 2011, I am still not back to work. The school still leaks and has mold problems. I know have allergies, chronic rhinunitis and asthma from the exposure in addition to a bunch of neurological problems, migraines and four herniated disks in my thoracic spine from coughing when I was sick.
I am going on May 3rd to be tested for IBD because of severe shingle-like pain in the left flank area of my back along with the running to the bathroom for about two hours straight every morning. I can't leave my house - don't forget the fatigue which I take 400mg of Provigal that does not put a dent in it, severe pain in my left shoulder when I eat! B12 deficiency, and rhaynauds in my hands and feet.
What are you thoughts? I hope you are not upset I posted without being diagnosed officially. But I am sure this is my problem. They have ruled out every other autoimmune disease there is (other then MS which i already have been diagnosed with in 2000, but now say they don't think I have) the blood work and carpal tunnel are leading them to believe I have one some where?
I guess the real questions here are:
Does anyone have information about mold exposure and Crohn's?
Antibiotics and Crohn's?
Lesions in the brain and Crohn's?
