This sounds quite familiar, I had almost the exact same experience. The only difference is that I had the pfizer vaccine in 2021 (two shots) and a booster. I initially thought it was Lyme, but went through a ton of doctors and got nowhere. A few years of being gaslit by doctors and then trying a dozen different antibiotics and other drugs (doxycycline, amoxicillin, azithromycin, cefdinir, rifampin, fluconazole, nitazoxanide, artemisinin, valacyclovir, ldn, ivermectin, celecoxib, gabapentin, amitriptyline, etc, etc.), to no avail. Tried treatments like accupuncture, red light therapy, compression therapy, cryo therapy, which offered some relief, but no solution.
Until I found Dr Patterson and started his protocol, and after a few months on maraviroc, atorvastatin, and colchicine, he suggested the mycotoxin test, which came back positive across the board.
My symptoms are severe neck/head pain, fatigue, dizziness, muscle/joint pain, and paresthesia, primarily in the arms and legs. It's like my nervous system went haywire.
My own integrative doc has prescribed cholestyramine and a bunch of supplements, and after a month I was feeling much better. But then I started to trend back in the wrong direction, and after two months of the treatment I'm somewhere in the middle. So I'm curious what you're treatment entails.
@mikesixtysix I've learned everything from the helpful world of Dr. Google and Dr. YouTube since leaving the care of Dr. Patterson. Dr. Patterson led me to Mold as the cause of my symptoms, but he doesn't treat Mold Illness. As you might expect there are diverging opinions on treatment regimen. I found myself very drawn to Dr. Andrew Campbell who is extremely straight forward. He has 4 steps, 1. Get yourself away from your mold (your car, your home, in my case, my career in factories) exposure, 2. Take an anti fungal - itraconazole, 3. an array of supplements, and 4. anti inflammatory, low histamine diet. He is very very very insistent on the anti fungal drug itraconazole and you dont mention an anti fungal. I fortunately found a couple of Doctors in Charleston, SC that treat Mold. I met with one and we developed a hybrid approach between what he sees work and Dr. Campbell. The only addition is that I take Glutathione (which Dr. Campbell doesn't recommend). Highly recommend you watch 1 Dr. Campbell YouTube. Best wishes on your journey.
