Hi I am new here. Im 68 years old I suffer from asthma. About 1 1/2 years ago i had insulation put in walls. the last 6 months I have had one asthma attack after another although I knew myself something was just not right. I mentioned to my G P the company that put in insulation had been in touch to say the insulation has to be removed as its causing dampness. I found black mold on my wall and brushed it off. (apparently the worst thing to do) My G P did a blood test and says I have fungus in my lungs. I have app to see my consultant next week. Glad to have found this site it is a bit easier to cope if you have someone to talk to. Cheers
