ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

ALLERGY TO MOLD - Feeling congested, hacking, even feeling a bit dizzy•off - do NOT accept a diagnosis of bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, greepe, flu - what it could REALLY be is an allergy to . . . MOLD

(DISCLAIMER:  I am NOT a medical person - I'm just sharing MY SERIOUS EXPERIENCE in this area of potential HELL!!  So do what you want with this info [or don't])

Do you have congestion, hacking and/or even feeling a bit dizzy•off - especially feelings that does not go away?  
 
I welcome you to NOT jump and accept a doctors random UN-Tested diagnosis and filling you with antibiotics, steroids or worse - saying it's bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, greepe, flu - as there's an even better chance (ESPECIALLY in Rainy Season and a few months after it even) that what you REALLY have going on is an ALLERGY TO MOLD!!!!

Right now (Rainy Season in Costa Rica) mold is EVERYWHERE!!!  In the wood of your house, in your closet, on your clothes and shoes, in your cupboards, on your walls - and outside - the trees, plants, ground!!!!  EVERYWHERE!!!

I can't tell you how MANY people I know have gone through this and the doctor would just RANDOMLY prescribe ANOTHER DRUG (that often wreaks havoc on your body and does NOT FIX the TRUE problem!!) MISDiagnosing them!!!!!

I speak this from EXTREME EXPERIENCE and having gone through HELL where I had to sleep sitting up for 3 weeks because I couldn't breathe and I had doctors say it was all the things that I mentioned above - even went through 4 nebulizer and 2 iv steroid drips and STILL nothing worked.

OPTIONS THAT MIGHT HELP YOU FEEL BETTER


MY #1 thing to do when my Allergy to Mold goes off:
doTerra Essential Oils
PEPPERMINT OIL

What I do is put like 5 drops on the outside edge of my hand • then I cup my hand (making sure those outside edges come together) and MEGA DEEPLY (as much as I can go) INHALE alternately through my mouth and my nose!!!
I do this for AT LEAST 5 minutes and keep doing this on/off as needed as trust me, if you're doing this DEEPLY - you WILL get some relief!!

I also do this with their Melaleuca (Tea Tree) as that help get to whatever's going on inside.


You can order it online AND - have it DELIVERED to YOUR DOORSTEP - even in Costa Rica!!  This is BY FAR THE BEST and PUREST Peppermint (and all others) THERAPEUTIC GRADE (TOTALLY ingestible)
