Our expedited move to Raleigh definitely improved our health situation – our cough, dizziness and vertigo happened significantly less frequent. We felt better but still not really good and definitely not as good as we used to be. Through 2017 we noticed a certain pattern though: days with outside exercise, pool or sweaty workout routines were always “GOOD” days and we felt energized and like our normal selves. Days after storms and rainfall were “BAD” days with strong allergic responses causing post nasal drip, coughing, tiredness and low-grade fevers. The “UGLY” days always came after air travel. No matter where we went, we always brought back some form of head cold that always seemed to turn into sinus infections.
2018 basically followed the same pattern. We enjoyed the good days and battled the bad & ugly days with OTC meds and all too frequent antibiotic subscriptions, just treating the symptoms instead of confirming and fixing the real root cause. Dani’s real ugly came after her tonsillectomy in late 2018. She had been suffering for 9 months with chronic tonsillitis and tonsil stones that were, quite frankly, totally gross. The pathology report showed Actinomyces present, so they definitely needed to come out! However, the throat pain afterwards is just as bad as the doc warns you it will be! Dani can now imagine what swallowing razor blades feels like.
All this suffering was about to change when Dani, during her unrelenting online searches, found an ENT in Durham, NC specializing in the treatment of victims of mold exposure.
