My LLMD asked if I could gather the specific test/diagnosis codes that Dr. S uses on his patients when testing for mold. She said a few have found them in his book.
Also, does anyone knows about Marcons and the sinuses? I have read it can cause bad head pressure, continuous ear popping and pressure and sinus pressure, all of which I suffer from. I talked to a guy who said Rifampin completely wiped it out and helped him.
Thanks.

I tested positive for it. Dr. S. says that it doesn't cause any symptoms. He does say that you can herx from the die off though.
He said that if you have used Rifampin before that it probably won't work alone and you will need to use the BEG spray. That comes from Hopkington Drug. They do compounding for it. That is what I used, it's a nasal spray that has abx in it. It also has a biofilm buster.
I had a really bad headache my first day on the spray but that was pretty much it.
It is a deep nasal swab test to test for it (not pleasant).
The codes might be on his website. There are a lot of layers so you kind of have to spend some time on it to find stuff.

His survivingmold.com website has this. Different diagnosis codes are used for different tests, if I remember correctly (at least that is what is recommended on his site). Take a look there, if you can't find it, let me know, I'll dig it up.
