Mold is maddening that way. It took me years to get out of the constant randomness of symptoms to a more stable symptom presentation. TUDCA initially gave me that stability, but I have now lost it, in spite of even doubling the TUDCA.
Also, a bad exposure may cause little symptoms at the time but can be followed by weeks of increasing symptoms for me. I am experiencing that right now. Of course, now, I take all sorts of treatments and change things up at times, so I am spinning in circles unsure of what is actually causing my pronounced decline. Mold is certainly a suspect as it all seemed to start after I stupidly cleaned the brick patio, hosing and scrubbing moss and mold out from the cracks - with NO MASK.
Symptoms from years ago have flooded back and I lost all the progress I gained over a year and a half ago.
There are other suspects in my case, as well, but mold is ALWAYS at the top of the list. I am very hypersensitive to fungal toxins, period.
One thing I have learned over the years of mold exposure in multiple houses is that mold is not stationary. It’s a living organism. As such, it responds to changes in its environment, too. Light, temperature, moisture, wind, barometric pressure, EMFs, and vibration or movement of the surface it’s living on, appearance of other micro-organisms vying for food and space in its territory - all potential influencers of the mold’s behavior, activities, and production of mycotoxins.
This is one reason why I could sit at the table and feel fine one minute and all of a sudden I would have burning in my tongue and gums. Would happen to my mother at the same time. She has CIRS, too, but is less affected than me. She is affected mentally more than physically. I can tell by how she acts when the mold is getting bad. It’s like her brain stops working. She also gets fatigue and doesn’t want to walk. Says she doesn’t feel like it, and gets SOB when she does go for a walk.
