A note, from me, personally. After ruling out everything else and confirming that I was suffering from mold illness/CIRS, removing myself from the mold environment and detoxing has been paramount to relief and recovery. Your recovery might look different, but I hope these resources assist you in your journey, save you time and research as you look for answers and roads to wellness.
God is working his purpose out.

TAKE AWAYS:
REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THE MOLD TOXIC ENVIRONMENT
This was key in my recovery. I slept in a tent in my backyard! Until I moved out of the house, I was still increasing my toxin load, I was being exposed minute after minute so long as I was in the house. I had to take drastic measures but that is what it required for me to start healing. “You can't heal in the same environment that made you sick.”
RECOVERY TIME:
For me, once I moved out of the mold environment, started on the binder and started detoxing therapies, I didn’t start to feel any relief or improvement for 3 months. Stay the course! Then I had hints of relief, and a good day here and there. Now almost 11 months out am I feeling about 80%. My doctor told me it would take 12-18 months. Finding patience has been tough for me, but I am seeing the results now. I have witnessed power in the waiting.
RULING EVERYTHING ELSE OUT:
I had a host of symptoms that could resemble symptoms from many other illness and diseases. As a result of seeing doctors ranging from family medicine physician(s), cardiologist(s), internist(s), gastroenterologist, functional medicine, endocrinologist(s), neurologist(s), ophthalmologists, orthopedist, gynecologist, urologist, physical therapist, phycologist, vascular surgeon, hematologist(s), muscle tester, chiropractor, pulmonologist to ER doc(s), I was able to rule out the following: stroke, TIA, myelitis, colitis, MS, Parkinson’s, cancer, pulmonary embolism, interstitial cystitis, cardiac problems, pituitary tumor, Thyroid Eye Disease, thyroiditis, deep vein thrombosis, perimenopause, fibromyalgia, dementia and Alzheimer's. While I felt an incredible sense of relief each time that the doctors ruled something out, I sank deeper and deeper into the reality that I was getting worse and I was concerned that time was running out and as each day passed we were missing what was causing my body and mind to fall apart. Over the course of 12 months, as I got sicker and sicker- leaving me and the doctors perplexed as to what was causing my decline. I had total body systems deregulation. It was mold in our home that was making me sick. Nobody (doctors, friends, family) ever mentioned or considered mold as a possibility. I didn’t even really know that Mold Illness/CIRS was a thing until we confirmed it through urine and blood test and found mold in our home. The biggest confirmation, for me, that this was mold illness was when I moved out of mold environment, started detoxing and my symptoms started to slowly fade away.
