I maybe should get my house tested for mold, you know? Because if my doctor thinks I have it, I obviously got it from my environment. I should also add that since I've been in Colorado, I've also been diagnosed as immune deficient. So not only do I have this autoimmune disease that constantly causes havoc, but now, as human beings, we have like 23 or 24 immune antibodies, right. Through some really intensive blood work, discovered that only 11 of my antibodies actually function. So less than half of what is supposed to protect me from disease is actually working. Finally got the house tested for mold. And lo and behold, the same week that we now confirm that the house has mold, I also get my urine analysis back. I also have extremely high levels of mold in my body. And everything is kind of starting to make sense.
