As if CFS is not enough!

[kenvj]

Having CFS is a burden in itself but I have now found out that I also suffer from Black Mold Infection which has caused me to have hives and other skin problems. It can also cause Fatigue and Fibromyalgia, particularly pain in the rib cage so its worth checking out your home for Black Mold which is common everywhere. There is a lot of info on the net so you can Google it.
I am working on cleaning and controlling the outbreak in my house, I can't afford to have it done professionally so I will just have to do the best I can.

That might even be good news. If it was the cause of some of your symptoms, that is definately something you can get rid of.
I saw a news report the other day where a woman was having some serious health problems (fatigue, headaches,etc.), due to the black mold in her wall.

Hopefully your hive problem will go away. that sounds pretty awful.

Also, my brother had a small mold problem and he used a special type of paint on his wall that kills mold. you might want to check that out.

good luck

Well you should feel good about it, maybe your CFS is all due to that! That would be great for you. If it's not the cause of your CFS then I agree with you it's too bad you have to deal with that aside of CF.
good courage

Hi Ken. Billoddie here...interesting. The walls of my room have significant black mould!! I have been doing gupta...and it is everything you said. gotta keep doing it though as you know. Just missing a few days results in swift retribution. I dont know about you, but i can almost feel the amygdala ramping up it stress responses now...and hell soon follows!!

[neil25]

how about if the amgdyla isn't the problem and it's another cause???

[billoddie]

there's always that possibility. I just know that in my case, i chased "causes" for years. And yes, there were things seriously wrong in my body...with amygdala retraining there are less and less causes and symptoms. before doing gupta, it was just an endless loop of symptoms...adrenals burnt out, massive food allergies, allergic to the very by products of the body's metabolism, stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhea, brain fog, headaches, muscle tension/pain, fatigue...you know them! I only gave gupta a try on the advice of kenvj and because I was at the end of my rope...end days were looming. I was sceptical and scared...i didnt want ANOTHER disappoinment. i didnt want to HOPE and then to have it fail. Like EVERYTHING else before. You know the scenario...start a new treatment, have initial encouraging results, only to have "the master program" rewrite fatigue right over the top of the latest high priced treatment/supplement/whatever. Everyone is different, but like an increasing amount of people, gupta is definitely working for me...I'm not 100% yet, but I am 500% better than I was. And improving ALL the time. Setbacks and "dips" are less. And very importantly, the "core " of me is even starting to REALLY believe that this can work and I will be better.

thats very encouraging, i found the gupta programme to hard to keep it up i did do it regularly for about 2 months but didn't see a big improvement. I'm not sure if the amgdlya is the main cause this again is just another theory. Are you doin the full gupta program? by that i mean are you using the mind map and saying the stops out loud?

The research on xmrv seems a bit more reliable as a cause the lastest paper found 99 out of 101 patients had the virus. There is bound to be many of people on this forum without knowing it who have the xmrv, how would you explain gupta helping then? the virus would still be active in the body it may be calmed down but gupta would not be a cure.

[billoddie]

I am only doing the stops. I probably should do the entire program for full benefit. Our bodies have many viruses in them...mostly dormant. In the model of CFS that gupta proposes, these viruses are not usually a problem, because the body is generally in a state of homeostasis. With a "stuck in fight/flight" mode of the amygdala, the body goes into a perpetual crisis state. In this state, the body is not able to deal with any underlying viruses or indeed any additional stressors. Like an engine that is running flat out, it just cant give any more. Gupta would say as a result of this state, the xmrv virus simply becomes dominant if it is already there or the person is far more likely to pick it up if they dont already have it. Whatever way, it is a SYMPTOM, not THE cause...according to gupta.
