Guest guest Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 What I wrote to this site. Janet I am in the sick building syndrome support group for mold in . I have ALL your symptoms and have been living with them for a year. Doctor after Doctor. I am now housebound with hepa filter air cleaners, cant even smell the dirt outsie as mold in it gives me the asthma I never had before. It was in a government building so Workmens Comp is fighting like hell and the whole Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in New Hampshire has closed their lid and forcing me to sing for disability. What you are doing is wonderfull. I am getting worse and I wiill use your hot line number if I feel too low. Some days I never want to wake up. NO IT IS NOT IN OUR HEADS!! Keep up the good work. I fully support you. We nee to help and support each other. Janet s Maine Below is pictures and a little info. Uncle Sam fights dirty and no support. Even co workers I see no one. Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. "The eyes cannot see what the brain cannot conceive." The fact that Janet feels "mold from the earth" and gets worse when the soil is disturbed, along with her description of feeling better indoors than outside while the Hepa filters are going, tells me that her entire neighborhood is in a spore plume. Her exposure is reduced indoors by the percentage of spores the Hepa filters can catch. REPLY FROM JANET STEVENS Very true. I can smell many different molds. Rainy wet earth and fresh damp dirt are my worst. They make my head go nuts saying "get away!" That's my worst trigger for asthma. My parents have some mold on their wallpaper upstairs. I cannot go to their house now unless I have a 3m mask on and then for about half an hour.and when they come in my house I smell it all over their clothes. As soon as they leave, I hepa vacuum, use Lysol wipes and spray where and around they were sitting. My sisters house smells like "old mold".I can smell that on her. My daughter works in a very old building at the beach. I went to see her. Asthma attack in ten minutes. The spores on her after working are terrible. All of these make my face very painful. She changes clothes in the bath house at the beach, puts her clothes tied up in a garbage bag, gets home, runs to shower then puts clothes out of garbage bag into Rubbermaid container on back steps and washes her shoes. Most buildings bother me. I tell a doctor when I smell mold coming out his ventilation system or if its in the rugs in the waiting room..Most allergists are the non believers. WE ARE NOT CRAZY!! BUT HELL OF A WAY TO LIVE AS A 39 YEAR OLD SINGLE MOM, YES???? Janet THIS picture is BEFORE mold illness. About two years ago. Big difference. I wanted to make this human and not just words. Some change, yes? I was in there an hour and came out looking like this trying to breathe after using rescue inhaler from this mold infested exam room and building s.eml Fw: Janet s Mail 3K And here I put the mask back on as car fumes were affecting my breathing as well now that my immune system is screwed up from years of mold, erupting and now am multiple chemical sensitive. Like I wrote. I cant even handle cooking odors. s.eml Fw: Janet s Mail 3K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
