I'm really sick. Before I get into it I want to state very clearly I do not believe this has anything to do with Rapamycin. If anything I think rapamycin's anti fungal properties would help in this situation.

I am a feverish and out of whack so please bear with me. It's very hard for me to communicate coherent thoughts right now.

A few weeks ago we had a flooding situation in our new house. Long story short we had to clean out some pipes but there was significant damage to the floors. The floors were already on our list to get replaced but we planned to do this in the spring.  The flooding warped the floor so we decided to just get it fixed now.

Fast forward to the day before and during Thanksgiving. the contractor doing the floor discovered that there is black mold everywhere. I mean every where.

He worked on it on Thanksgiving while we were at my father in law's but the more tiles he removed the more mold was found. It looks like one of those horror movies where back ooze suddenly appears.

We thought the worst of it was killed off and of course we had ventilation going with industrial blowers etc.  However the mold issue was even worse than expected.

Thanksgiving evening I started to feel sick. Cold/allergy type of sick. I even said to my husband I thought I may be getting a sinus infection. It was mild at this point but I've had enough sinus issues to know when things aren't right.

We closed off parts of the house the contrcator was working /cleaning the mold but the main intake vent was not walled off and the black mold dust was basically sprayed right into the bedroom (we have a heat pump so it was directly being pumped into the bedroom). This has since been resolved but we were still exposed to it and that damn dust was everywhere.

One of the reasons we bought the house when we did is because the landlord at the house we were renting refused to fix the massive black and like 100+ species of mold(not an exaggeration we had it tested) issues and we as the tenants had  to pay for mold remediation (mold was coming from the foundation and a faulty installed shower- not tenant's responsibility) . The mold was making both of is very sick (for month really) we ended up staying in a hotel for a few weeks.

I got sick enough at that time that i needed antibiotics special cough syrup and steroid inhalers.  I was also offered prednisone but I chose to not take it because of the side effects . The inhaler helped a lot.  

Now I am sick in the same way. I do not have a primary care doctor anymore and can't risk an urgent care center with covid levels right now. My husband is in immune suppressants and I myself have immune dysfunction. Doctors don't even wear masks anymore.

I'm also too sick to leave the house which gives me telehealth as an option. I can probably get the anti biotics and steroid inhaler refill but for some fucked up reason the urgent care centers around here  that do telehehalth specifically state they won't rx promethazine (anti histamine cough syrup) or narcotics. Seriously no promethizne. WTF? I'm not even talking about the version with codeine. Our system is so broken.

I have asthma and a very wheezy cough that delsym isn't making a dent in. I have a couple emergency doses of the good cough syrup left over but maybe like 3 doses total. My wheezing is s bad.

I will likely try the telehealth anyway for the anti biotics but this wheezy cough and sore throat that feels like I am swallowing knives is kinda wrecking me.

Oh and my 02 level went to 90 but is lingering around 94. Same thing happened last time I was sick like this.I have supplemental oxygen cans here I am using. My heart is doing funky things too. I have a pulse ox with heart graph (pleth graph or something) and it is showing some weird shit. Usually my heart rate is high but typical wave patterns. Right now not so much Lots of flatlines and other erratic stuff. This is most likely do to the physiological stress but still a bit worrisome.

So anyway that's how I'm doing.  I'm absolutely miserable and kind of a mess. I wanted to blog more about the positive effects of the rapmycin but that will have to wait.  Still feeling less weight down and less muscle stiffness yay. However my joint pain has increased slightly.

It's gonna be a rough couple of weeks.
