allergy shots -to advocate now

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Yes, luckily I am doing better now but I still have issues. When I returned to

work after the 12 weeks of disability, I actually wore an N95 respirator during

work. That meant at least 5 or 6 hours a day that required me to be in the sick

building was spent wearing a mask. (My office had already been moved to another

building- my labs were still in the sick building.) I was finally allowed to

switch departments so I no longer have to work in that building. If I need to

enter it for a meeting or to pick up supplies- I wear the mask. Since wearing

the mask and then being out of the building, I have not had one sinus infection,

pneumonia, bronchitis or serious bout of vertigo. My asthma is better as long as

I take my meds. (I only had occasional asthma attacks prior to working in this

building- I took primatene tablets over the counter and that usually was enough

to control them. Now I have to take preventive meds. every day.) I was sick

constantly before. I also use a neti pot every day to wash out my sinuses. I

still have reactions in public buildings, other work buildings. Just not to the

level that they used to be. I also developed fibromyalgia during the 12 weeks

and that has gotten better with medication but still affects me.
