Mold illness is nasty. Each of the three of us experienced different symptoms. Some of our symptoms included increased food sensitivities, brain fog and neurological symptoms, mood swings, random muscle aches ("knots"), occasional random sharp pains, redness and/or swelling of hands or feet. None of those were particularly consistent but did reoccur over time.

I developed vitiligo a few months after moving into a new apartment which had a mild sewage leak. I'm pretty sure the apartment caused my condition as there is no other case of vitiligo in my family and it is known to be triggered by chemical irritants.
You may want to consider testing your apartment for endotoxins (or just moving if possible). Endotoxins come from the cell walls of gram-negative bacteria for which the most common source is sewer leaks. Endotoxins are toxic and can cause a range of symptoms. Unfortunately, our house tested high for those as well.
