Reply To: Update on Emily

Vicki –

I saw that info on CIDPUSA also. That it what prompted me to do further research on it. I’ve found articles & studies done on mold & neuropathies. There is a link between them. There was 1 study that I read that said that a certain type of mold, staccibotris (I’m sure I’m spelling that wrong) can cause demyelinating neuropathies. That particular type of mold grows in soil, drywall, wood & carpet. We live in a “basement apartment”, there is a crack in the foundation & the mold is growing in the carpet, on a wooden bookcase & I’m sure in the wall too. That seems to me the perfect place for that kind of mold to grow.

When we see the dr the next time I will mention what I’m feeling to her. She said that she wanted both my husband & myself to undgo EMG’s as well, so maybe we’ll just speed that up. My feet are still feeling wierd today. I’m trying to ignore it & hope that it just disappears on it’s own.
