Update - curtains in Phoenix

[Guest guest]

Since the sheers and drapes were on everyone's `hit list', yesterday I took down

the sheers (with gloves on), put them in a bag and took them and the drapes to

the dumpster. Shortly after returning home my skin was crawling bad, even my

scalp, which indicates the sheers are the source of my symptoms. I also opened

the front door and all windows, put on the swamp cooler blower to air out the

house but that did not seem to help, pollution in the house makes me ill, too.

At 4 AM today I awoke, not sure if the burning is a little worse or the same,

but I now have the burning under the bone below the neck, plus the skin on my

legs and arms are burning. I remembered my dr. had me take Tylenol (325 mg) for

those months last year when the replumbing at work for made my gums raw red and

the burning throat, etc., so I started on the Tylenol today. If not better on

Mon I will make an appt with the dr. She, of course, always tells me to leave

the house but nowhere to go, yadda, yadda. If it were not for the pollution I

would stay outside by day, and in my truck by night.

I was too tired/weak yesterday to climb up and wash the window, got to do that

today and hope that helps, plus try to clean out the dryer drum, not sure if I

should use 7th Generation dish liq and many rinses with just water.

I got a lot of responses and thanks to all for your input.......Corky
