Re: Pneumonia -Bob

Bob,

I don't know what state you live in, but if you plan

on getting the EPA involved, I hope you have better

luck than I did. Around here, not only didn't the EPA

care that this apt. building is loaded with mold, but

HUD didn't care, Code Enforcement didn't care, and

even the Health Dept. didn't care. And when I wrote to

the local newspaper, I never heard a word from them.

When it comes to the Zithromax, I'm a little confused.

You stated you got a 4-day supply. It's my

understanding that you have to take it for 5 days, and

that it continues working for 5 days after you take

the last dose. My doctor put me on that last weekend,

but unfortunately, I could not take it - got very

dizzy.

In one of your other posts you mentioned possibly

going to Mexico. If you go, I certainly hope you are

fluent in Spanish. Furthermore, it is my

understanding, you have to buy the health insurance

that Mexico has, because the health insurance that you

have in the U.S., is not acceepted in Mexico, and I

don't think you would want to end up in one of the

ambulances, or in one of the hospitals (if you can

even call some of those places hospitals) where the

people without insurance have to go.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Bob: I must have forgot to mention that the ER gave me my first dose of two

capsules. There are several places in Mexico with a very high population of

people from America and Canada and the health care is acually better than I get

in Oklahoma. Of course you have to pay for it or get their insurance. also it is

a hassle to get prescriptions sent to me there. I lived in a place named San

de de the winter of 2002-2003. That was when I first started

noticing what would later show a mold problem. I felt really good there and felt

bad here within a week. Mexico housing is not mold-proof as this woman I know

told me she once had mold growing on her inside wall but their housing is much

better for us than the average US home. When I was growing up, we moved a lot

and when we lived in West Texas, I cannot recall any place we lived having

carpeting. I was born in 1947 and we didn't have a/c then and kept the windows

open and the sand blew in a lot. I had my carpeting taken out

and replaced with linoleum and it took a few months for the linoleum odor to

leave. It is probably better for me but it stays cold so I guess that was a

problem with wooden floors also. It seems the recent inventions have made our

life easier but maybe at too high of a price.
