    Sick from mold infestation
    I was born w/very poor respiratory, and I have had chronic bronchitis annually (from birth till 18-19 yrs.old) stretching from mid Jan. through mid March. The annual sickness occurred less as I got older, Now 31. And it seems the only time I don't get sick is when I live alone. Now I live w/ b.f.'s family, and they've had a huge hole shower wall (both tile and dry wall) and holes around faucet area, tiles missing, and falling off the wall, black mold on grout lines and on shower curtain, They also have a dog that no one walks, it has to urinate on newspaper. The floor is tile also, large pieced tiles, that could easily be sealed, but has been penetrated w/dog urine for 13 years, (underneath tile is dark). They have the same living room furniture and carpet for 20 years, that reeks of oldness, a back room with hole in roof so when it rains, water leaks inside and floods on carpet, Also, the attic is FULL of junk and clothes from entire family everything all mixed in a huge pile 3 feet deep and length and width of house, that part of roof also has a leak, I had to throw away a lot of crap that was covered in mold, it reeks of mildew up there, but no one will do anything, Literally, silverfish are falling out of the attic door, I spent 36 hours with no sleep scrubbing this place down (had to scrub bathtub w/comet and bleach w/ brillo pad 4 times and it still doesn't feel clean, anyway, original question was: Are my health problems coming back because of living conditions? If so, could they get worse? Right now, when I wake up, I can't breathe, have very heavy wheezey, raspiness and dry cough, Lived here before, and my lungs actually bleed, coughed up blood for a few months, When we moved out, my respiratory was pretty good, now, we're back, and feeling sick again

    Yes it is bad because of the living conditions.
    You are ver sensitive so it is going to be a problem.
    Don't know if it will get worse but it definitely won't get better.
    If your lungs bled last time then I would think it could get worse this time too.
    You either need to move or get the place cleaned and fixed up.
    Why won't your boyfriend do something about it?

    Health problems from mold: Yes. Get worse: Yes.

    If you know what your alergic too, you have to avoid those allergens.

    You should be under the care of an Allergist.

    She needs something more than an allergist.
    She needs somebody that can detox her.

    Sounds like you need to move back out, since that is making you worst.
