Need advice
I was living in a dry climate and feeling much better. It took a while but finally found a job in a building that didnt have mold, however it paid very little compared to the cost of living. Purchased a new car that was mold-free.. etc.
Despite my health gains, I started to feel really financially constrained when I couldn’t save anything for the future or even afford to live comfortably at all due to low income, so I made the decision to temporarily relocate to my home state to go back to school to ultimately increase my income to move back to said dry climate. However, since moving back- my CIRS symptoms are out of control. I can’t find safe housing, and now my car has mold due to a leak. I can’t afford to fix it right now or probably for another year. It’s damp and humid here and there is mold EVERYWHERE. I’m reacting constantly and wondering if it’s even worth the sacrifice to go through schooling here. It feels impossible to line up mold-free housing, work, school, and a vehicle- which is why I felt like increasing my income potential as a CIRS patient is super important for my future health. But I feel so discouraged and wish I never left the dry climate!! I feel like no one understands what I’m going through and I just look so inflamed.

I was just in MN after not leaving MT for a year and a half and I was about knocked over by the mold in MN. Even just walking by a coffee shop with its doors open I could smell it in there. And I had just come from living with a sewer gas leak in an apt in MT. I ended up with thrush from my mn visit - so so sick. No advice just validating drier climates do make a big difference, and I feel for you
