I knew it. I could predict it. And I could feel it. Sorry you're going through this, but some things we go through have to be faced.

> Have returned from an extended visit away from home, and there is a DRAMATIC difference in my physical and mental wellbeing when i am out of this house... *deep sigh*

I think you've pretty much answered the question. You're sensitive to mycotoxins.

> It's hard to know how much of my subjective wellbeing is attributed to what. My pdoc is rather traditional psychiatry oriented, and wouldn't really consider mold with much weight.

Maybe you might want to show him evidence from other jurisdictions? There's a local court house (Newmarket Ontario) that was closed down because of the mold. Massive and lenghty restoration, and some people still can't go back inside.

> My primary care MD isn't easily convinced to order this kind of specialized testing (i suspect it's expensive to the HMO?) and reasonably, i admit, reminds me of various other health reasons why i might be feeling the way i do...

But the way you do a differential diagnosis is to use specific tests to rule in or rule out the possibilities. There's an old medical school saying, "When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras.", reminding student doctors to think about more common maladies before the exotic, but, once you've ruled out horses, you have to consider zebras. Keep pushing. Just keep pushing.

> So in conclusion, there is no conclusion- YET. This process is taking a slow boat down alot of canals. But i really appreciate your interest and assistances. Makes me feel like maybe i'm not standing up in the boat alone ~ Thanx :)

I do appreciate the update. I was worried about you.

The chimney has been serviced just last month and is now in perfect condition. Much more than the w-b-s, a real fireplace fire WOULD generate more heat through that central part. Thanx, tealady :)

Prettier to watch, too.

Good luck, dude.
