introduction to list; Ugh, I have been sick. I am not having fun.

[Guest guest]

I was referred to this list from the immmune list. I need some help

as I decide if my symptoms are solely pointing to my home or car as

the sick building environment, and not a general auto immune issue

(which I am being treated and still being tested 9 months later for

potential lupus, etc. diagnosis) and/or are not general allergic or

MCS that will not respond if I vacate my home.

I live in Tucson area. Great health. Moved here and that day

(actually was my initial househunting trip) became very ill after

going for a brief hike in Ventana area and then passing out at my

office (my first time in that building ever) in Tucson. My illness

woes have never ceased since the day I moved here but have gradually

become much worse and I am now on m edical leave and my job is

threatened when I return. I did not move into the house that is of

concern until 60 days later and I did not purchase my current vehicle

which also is causing me so many problems until 1 year after moving

to Tucson.

A brief overview is posted here regarding my hospitalization in

the " I am contaminated " room in Benson, AZ

Ugh, I have been sick. I am not having fun.

Referred by someone on the list to dr. grey. Saw him

twice. 2nd time went for routine followup asthma test

and ended up with paramedics wanting to intubate after

laragynal swelling and anaphylatic reaction to asthma

med after first part of test. Not fun. Later that evening noticed

large ulcer lesions on both eyes, hands, and genitals. Then 2 days

later, end up in benson hospital ER and then admitted

to the " I'm an allergic monster Room 113 " ....Beware.

Don't get sent there unless you have a hard stomach

for being treated like a pariah. What a scary

experience. I continue recuperating at home but not

having much fun. Doc discovered what they are calling

ulcers in my eyelids, genitals (small), and mold etc

lit up the room as they checked me with a UV light.

They were surprised at what I looked likle under the

UV light and were surprised at what their staff looked

like that had come in contct with me. Do I have

cooties or what?

I have lost 22 lbs since Feb 1 but had my first weight

gain this month gaining 1.5 lbs today after finding

food I could tolerate today. Yippee. I continue on

medical leave. I am now referred back to my autoimmune

doc to evaluate the many blood abnormalities found.

Cholintraese marker was in norm range but we don't

have a baseline. Very low WBC numbers and low

platelets. Other findings. Getting worried as I

proceed to more specalists next week. Am I set to

retire at the grand age of 42 and 1 month or should I

be packing for an upcoming funeral. a bit scared but

positive nonetheless. After all, I have a 2.5 year old

who has turned into a major headbanger all of a sudden

since my health deteriorated and his nanny went home

to her country. He was kicked out of his third child

care environment today. Now what>

more later for those who want to know. I hesitate to

document all the blood abnormalities since I don't

know know whyich are related to what.

Dr. Grey said to evacuate my house. I think he

exaggerates and is talking before we know specifics. I

have issues in the house and out....but none when

outside Tucson. go figure. maybe just time to move.
