Is untreated mold in the house/MCS a reason to hold off on starting DMSA?

Main question:

Will being exposed to mold in my house worsen any mold damage if I begin chelating at the same time?

Is it better to wait to start chelating, or go ahead?

Background:

Hello.

I was exposed to a broken fluorescent bulb left in the trash of my room for about 2-3 weeks. I began developing severely worsening multiple chemical sensitivity and mercury toxicity symptoms over the next 2 months.

It has been approximately 1.5 - 2 months since the exposure.

I cannot stand to be around perfumes, anything personal care and scented, cars, diesel, and plastic.

I have read Cutler's Amalgam Illness book (and am still reading it) and have a general idea of how to chelate and what supplements to take.

I have adrenal insufficiency and hypothyroidism, take Cortef, natural dessicated thyroid prescription is pending, and I have the sort of fast phase 1 liver metabolism (from what I understand) which relates to my immune system sensitizing to "everything" after a period of contact, and reacting to "everything".

I have had to move rooms in our house (I keep sensitizing to the air in them, or something in the laundry left in a particular room...) and currently sleep in an open, downstairs area near wood flooring that was flooded and hasn't been replaced yet.

I can smell the mold every day.

We're going to rip up the flooring soon, and look into mold testing or killing mold. At some point, we'll replace the flooring with porcelain tile.

(Separately, I don't know how we'd go about killing the mold without triggering my chemical sensitivities. Does anyone have any ideas? I could stay elsewhere for a couple weeks if need be.)

I have symptoms of mercury toxicity that are worsening (weak arms that I can't hold up quite as well as 5 days ago... EMF sensitivities around everything). Depression, mood flattening, alternated with decreasing "up" periods (similar to mania?)... and quite a few digestive problems which have only appeared in the last 2 months since the CFL bulb exposure.

But, I worry that attempting detox will somehow make me more vulnerable to the mold. I do not know much about how mold causes bad health effects, save that it causes widely ranging ones.

And that mold toxins and fat soluble - does this mean sauna while detoxing would help as well?

If so, how much sauna, and what kind of sauna?


Thank you in advance for any thoughts, opinions, or help.
