It's the ventilation from your hvac. You probably have mold in the vents or it's the fiberglass insulation from the attic. You guys are breathing it. Hope this helps!

I have all the same symptoms, have had for the past 6 years and they are getting much worse. Severe fatigue, very severe muscle joint pain to the point I can barely walk up/ down stairs, tingling, chest tightness and hard to breath, skin sensitive to touch/ feel bruised. Started right after I had a leak that insurance wouldnt cover and I never fixed. Been going to the doctor for years with no luck. I believe it's toxic mold. Was recently In Florida for 11 days and every single symptom disappears and I felt amazing. I've been back 8 days and the symptoms are already coming back. Mold remediation companies usually with give a free estimate, but to eliminate it is pricey.

I am in terrible pain also. Worse everyday. I have no family com. Mold in house. Not able move. It is debilitating. Hardly stand the pain I don't see how I can get up in morning so bad now. I feel can't make it. Body. Eyes. Everything feels full of spores. I wish someone was with me. Not to be alone and such misery.

yeah, there're so many things. and the majority of human beings just don't seem to have the native intelligence/awareness needed to take indoor air pollution seriously. combine that with contractors who are willing to prey on your concerns to get a job, and with other contractors who want all the problems to have simple, predictable solutions, and are not really willing to investigate beyond basic observations - then we really are all alone in our fight against subtle indoor air pollution.

Do you find it odd, that so many homes exist in the world, yet so little resources on "subtle" indoor air quality issues, nothing really beyond the basic stuff. what to do you do when you have a unique, specia, more subtle problem? no one to call. no "air police", no harvard specialists are traveling to my home in kentucky to do some specialized detailed sampling. who do you call when everyone's minds are tuned to see only basic problems therefore, only basic solutions, and thus inadequate solutions needed for your unique or unusual problems? Combine that with the fact the the problems seems invisible and you have the perfect storm, the perfect food for ignorance consumption. soon people will be questioning your sanity, questioning intelligence, question your objectivity, thus compounding the loneliness of your fight.

Truth is, there is a neurological tendency in the human brain that makes us , forces us, to see things in context with our lives. creating psychological conditions that push us to see things, as "normal" or even blame ourselves, or causes us not have the psychological impetus to dive too deep into things.

so we stand alone. good luck in your fight all of you. I'm losing mine, and my family is being hurt by it, and there is not enough money to move or do anything else. but I'm not giving up, I'm still searching for some little thread of information somewhere that will lead me to the truth of what is happening in my house. Kind regards - Will

Thank you, it does.

I will investigate right away. problem is, how do you detect mold in your vents? what contractor investigates such things. does typical vent cleaning help? or do you need to replace the vents.

How does one confirm it is fiberglass from insulation causing the problem. there air from the attic where fiberglass insulation is installed easily escapes into the upstairs bedrooms, & thus the house.

kind regards - Will

Both of your symptoms could be from meth exposure. It's very common for people to get sick for no apparent reason when they move into a house that was used as a meth lab. Contrary to popular belief meth labs do not have to be huge operations. A meth addict can contaminate the entire house by cooking a small amount of meth in the bathroom. The toxic chemicals associated with meth production go through walls and attach to every surface. If you were fine before you moved and got sick at your new house there is certainly something wrong with the house not you. If your county has a health inspector have them test the house. You can also order meth test kits from labs who sell the kits online.

I would have you doctor recommend an endocrinologist who can test if you are having problems with your thyroid- the symptoms are the same and it's possible you have brought something into your body that is making you sick with no energy everyday. Hopefully he will find nothing or maybe your thyroid needs some help. If you do have thyroid problems they are part of a genetic disease it is much worse. Think about your family and the illnesses they had then look up the autoimmune diseases and see if there is a connection. Since the disease are genetic they can hide and never show their faces or the will which means you Loki millions of us My have a genitive disease that is chronic and has no cure. See and endo ASAP just to make sure especially if it runs in your family.

I have almost the exact same issues my mother was healthy & suddenly passed away from stage 4 lung cancer, never smoked a day in her life, diagnosed 1 week before passing away! My father could not return to their home & offered my husband & I the opportunity to own our own place & be debt free after paying it off so, we jumped at the chance.
I started having headaches right off the bat now I have experienced, severe dry mouth, severe rashes, red eyes, chest & severe upper abdominal pain, severe constipation, tremors, muscle cramps & a strange taste in my mouth. I believe this house took my mothers life & it is mold also known as CIRS, it get's misdiagnosed more often than not....Yes!
Well, because of my age the Dr's told me it was early menopause & that I was also depressed because of the loss of my mother.So we expected that to be what was wrong.
This was an old and damaged home when we moved in & began experiencing these symptoms. When 5 years later discovering that this is and was all from the wet house & mold. Even my dog's were sick.We had to leave the home & stay with my elderly mother-in-law until we could have an expert rule our home in inhabitable to demolish the old home & were able to rebuild.
Have you & your home tested for mold & asbestos right away be sure you have someone that specializes in this field not just an average Dr. or you to will do like we did & get misdiagnosed over & over for 5+ years. I truly hope that this helps someone else. Good luck & may God Bless you!

There is evidence that suggests some cases of CFS are actually CIRS, aka biotoxin illness.

Rule out Adrenal Insufficiency!!

Dawn, investigating for potential environmental cause of your symptoms is reasonable. However, based on the signs and symptoms you described and the history you gave about your illness, first you must rule out adrenal insufficiency if not already done. You need 8 AM serum cortisol level. If your 8 AM serum cortisol level is low or equivocal, your doctor should do a cosyntropin stimulation test. These tests will show if you have adrenal insufficiency or not. If you do have A.I, it can be easily treated with steroids therapy and you will feel a whole lot better, fast.
