Requires help!
Hello there! I'm an eighteen year old student, from South Wales, who for the past two years I've been suffering from a plethora of symptoms, which include: Chronic nasal congestion, chronic fatigue; impaired memory/concentration or "Brain Fog", Red eyes with slightly blurred vision (on occasion they itch and water quite frequently); post nasal drip, diagnosed with NAFLD; muscular twitches, aching accompanied with pain in limbs; acid reflux and a burning sensation in my chest.
I have been referred to an Ophthalmologist, a Neurologist and four ENT specialists. The Neurologist ruled out any nuerological problems and the following ENT specialist, who in honesty I thought were not thorough at all, discharged me after my CT scan was clear, (of which I've had two) though both showed scarring of the Turbinates and upon examination via an Endoscopy it was commented upon that the lining of my nose was extremely congested, without signs of Nasal Polyps.
My GP and I are at the end of our tether, with no one seemingly having an inkling as to the cause.
However an open air sample from my bedroom revealed colonies of Coagulase negative Staph; negative gram Bac and Penicillium spores. My bedroom is extremely musty and there are numerous white patches present on the walls, both of which are signs of mould and my symptoms from what I have read, the accounts of others you have suffered the effects of mould, my symptoms seems to correlate with the possible presence of mould. My Mother has also suffered from a chronic cough, with the same irritation as myself.
I'm not sure as to what the next move should be,would it be worth while attempting to arrange an appointment with an Infectious Disease specialist or Allergist? Who would deal with Mold exposure? Lastly, would you be able to comment on whether or not these symptoms are a result of what I've found.
Thankyou!

allergic to aloe vera??
On sunday morning I woke up with swollen face and eyes.
On saturday I used an aloe vera treatment (washed my face with the aloe vera soap, used the nourishing serum and then the aloe vera balancing cream)
That wasn`t the first time though. The first time I tried it was a week before and the treatment worked well, made my skin really smooth. That`s why I ordered it for myself. But after I applied it, my skin started to feel ichy, and then had a burning sensation for the whole afternoon and evening, especially around my eyes. And on sunday morning I had swelling all on my face.
I`ve been using the plant aloe vera for years now.. is it possible I became allergic to it? Or am I allergic to one of the ingredients?
