Brief Answer:
Needs clinical examination

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

Fatigue weakness and itching can be attributed to allergy caused by mold, but hot flashes and lower back pain are entirely different set of symptoms.

I would recommend a visit to your GP, who after examining you clinically can arrive at a diagnosis.
