I think most of us believe Mirena has compromised our immune systems. I've been wondering if some women stay sick for so long because we keep getting exposed to triggers. Things that a healthy body can fight off, but we can't.

We have black mold in our 90 year old, hurricane damaged building at work. I've been in there the longest of the women, and I am the sickest. But ALL of them have chronic sinus problems, fatigue, etc. Five women who used to work in that buidling said they were always sick in it but got well after moving to new rooms. Apparently there is actually something called Toxic Teacher Syndrome.

I put my head in the incredibly filthy AC closet and
within hours my "rosacea" had flared us worse that it has in 6 months.

I'm thinking muscle pain, nausea, headaches, burning eyes, sinus, head pressure, fatigue, numbness, slightly abnormal brain MRI, blood inflammation, even hormonal imbalance might be related.

If the mold test kit I sent off gets anything I'll have to put a request in writing for the building to be cleaned. I hope I don't get fired.
