Feel Better soon sweet Sandi , miss your long helpful post , oh and thankx for the other one the other day xooxoxoxoxoxxoxo

Thanks everyone!
No, I have not seen a doctor---I feel too awful to go at the moment!
I have a past history of sphenoid sinusitis as a result of black toxic mold so am certain this is what I have. The black mold in the bathroom at my daughter's apt. was awful. They had recently sold their dehumidifier in anticipation of the move & things happened quickly. DH got chemicals (to which I am also allergic) & took it off while I took the baby for a 2 hr. walk in the Baby Bjorn. We moved them to our house, but by then the damage was done. It took a few days for me to get so bad, but I knew on the trip home that things were in a downward spiral. Since then I have struggled & today I could not really get up. This has not happened for years for me.
I have lots of things to take at home but if things don't improve in a few days I will have to get a CT scan---ugh. I feel better tonight but am not quite up to partying or slaying dragons. I have my Mac on my lap now & 2 puppies in my bed---ah, the luxury! Kisses to all.

Sandi i'm so sorry to hear that you are still sick. Hopefully you'll be well enough to travel.

I am going to tell you of something that has worked miracles for me when I had sinus problems. It is very hard to do, and it hurts a lot. You need to do it right, if it doesn't hurt it isn't working. But, I promise that when I have had a debilitating sinus headache it cured me...instantly...or after I got over the sneezing.

You get a small container of distilled water, smash a couple of cloves of garlic. Let them stand in the water for about twenty minutes. Strain. Use an eye dropper to insert the stained liquid into your nose and inhale with all your might, sucking the liquid into your sinuses. If you do it right your ear lobes will get burning hot, you will sneeze and your eyes will water like crazy. Buy the time you finish blowing your nose, you will notice that your headache is GONE. Garlic does have anti-biotic properties.
I would say that since you feel so bad, it is really worth a try.

Sandi, hope you feel better soon.

**aprilb** · 12-08-2012, 08:59 PM

Sandi, I am so sorry you are sick...mold is the worst!

I don't post as often either because of continuing health issues..you are always in my thoughts and prayers..big hugs!

Sandi....I am so sorry your not feeling well. I hope that you go to the doctor to confirm exactly what it is. We do take our fluffs immediately but somehow wait on what we should do. Prayers and hugs to you!!

Sandi, please rest and take care of yourself, and don't let it go too long before seeing a doctor. I've had the 'crud' for three weeks now, and I'm down to a nagging cough. It's very irritating!
