Guest guest Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Dana, If it's that bad please go to your mom's. Wash your clothes you have to have with Borax & seal them in a plastic bag. Don't take any furniture made from fabric. No paper items. Leave the blankets unless you can wash them many times & seal them. Don't take pillows. Wear old clothes & throw them out when you get there. Soak or shower. Mold can effect every organ.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 You poor thing. I've been there. My suggestion (anyone chime in to hone the details) is to get yourself, some clothes & your hair clean & sleep in your vehicle or at your mum's. Spend as little time as possible in the house & you'll think clearer about your next step. Make detailed lists of what you plan to do/get when you go to your place so that you're not in outer space wondering what to do when you get there. I also suggest you wear a good respirator mask & hat when you do go into the house & wear clothes that you reserve just for going in. This is the mask & cartridge I have: http://www.labsafety.com/search/93911/24527525/?GoButton=Go http://www.labsafety.com/search/60926/24530075/38035/?GoButton=Go & isredirect=tru\ e I really think you can clean many of your possessions up very meticulously but many disagree & say you have to throw it all out. All new stuff to someone with MCS is no easy or cheap project. You could put your stuff in storage & clean it up little by little as you need it while you stay at your mum's. Some things are just too porous to ever be safe, like a couch - use your judgement & your sense of smell. > > > thankyou to everyone that replied and sorry about my delay in reponding. Im now almost 100% sure that mold is a major problem. I have been sleeping in the loungeroom for the last week and itchyness in ears has gone away and have been taking lots of oregano oil which seems to have helped, i have had another infection which has made me feel rough and got it when i was on hol away from house, but it seems to have cleared up. However its started raining here since yesterday and today i have had the following symptoms 'air hunger' which ive had previously and assumed that it was an adrenal thing, weakness in muscles, tiredness, itchy red eyes, bags under eyes, twitchy eyes, itchyness in ears, clenching of calf muscles, sore throat, bags, clear mucous coming from vag, crawling skin, mild headache, forgetfullness, later nausea. Boyfriend slept in and has massive rings under his eyes. > > I may have mentioned that ive gotten full blown mcs in the last few months ie the spreading phenomena where everything chemical bothers me. now i think ive found the cause for sure.

I could go to my mums but arent i likely to take the spores along with me and infect her house? I probably have since i stayed there a week ago. I want to leave but i dont know how or what to do. I could sleep in the car but no doubt there are spores in therre. > > Do i really need to throw out everything and start again? Arent there spores everywhere, or is it more that we become sensitiesed and there would be a large number in our clothes? I threw the matress out and there is no mould growing anywhrere in the living space. There is no way im checking in the roof cavity as there is likely a lot of lead dust up there and i would also be terrified to breath in even larger amounts of spores. > > Please help me with where to go tonight and what to do i dont want to contaminate my mums place and i find all of this too hard to understand by myself though ive tried. Im sitting outside in the mild rain with my ipad and feeling better than inside. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Dana, Im not sure what your financial situation is but is it possible for you to run to a cheap department store and buy some clothes? Dont try them on just buy something you can wear for a couple of days. Beings your worried about your mum's house is it possible for you to rent a hotel room for a day or two? If so what you want to do is buy some Nizoral shampoo and some 13 gallon trash bags. Once you get into the hotel room go directly into the bathroom take off your clothes put them into the trash bags and seal up the bag so no air can escape. Once thats accomplished take a shower using the Nizoral shampoo and put the new clothes on. The next thing you want to do is take the trash bag with the contaminated clothes and throw it away. Just because your staying in a hotel room and the spores have all but been eliminated doesn't mean your going to get instant relief. It sounds like you've been exposed for quite some time and regardless of how diligent you are at avoiding mold spores its going to take time to start feeling better so don't get frustrated and think you've some how cross contaminated your new surroundings. Ive been down this road a few times and this procedure seems to work best for me. > > > thankyou to everyone that replied and sorry about my delay in reponding.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Thank you , Im sorry to hear that you have suffere through this as well. I hope you are doing much better now. I could sleep in the vehicle but there would definately be mould spores in the car and im not syre what to do about that? Ive been sitting in the car for the last few hours and feel fine here though so maybe it would be ok? Presumably it will be a problem overnight with condensation etc. That is a good idea about making lists. How do you recommend cleaning possesssions? Yes new stuff will be a problem because of money and reacting to the chemicals in them! Is second hand eg couches, clothes just too much of a risk? Finally i was just wondering if anyone knows of any good websites i could turn to for more information on cleaning items etc? I have ordered healthy habitats but im in australia and dont know how long it will take to get here. >>>>>>>>>> You poor thing. I've been there.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Thanks Tug, its not so easy to buy new stuff unfortunately because of the mcs i react very strongly to chemicals. Most of my clothes ive had for years and have not used perfumes, or chemical washing powders for years. Nizoral also woul be full of chemicals. Its quite hard! Im suremy boyfriend is also being affected but is not likely to buy into it or believe it, i dont think he would go to the extremes of throwing everything out and cant anyway because he survives by selling second hand books on ebay! He has absolutley no savings and now i wont be able to help him financially. Im so scared for him and for me. Its hard to see any light at the end of the tunnel > > Dana, Im not sure what your financial situation is but is it possible for you to run to a cheap department store and buy some clothes?

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I get used clothes. The laundry smell is detectible whereas new chemical isn't as easy to smell... & then I react when I wear it. The chemicals in new fabric actually seem to last longer than dryer sheets. I put all new/used clothes on the clothesline inside out for months. For cleaning there's borax, peroxide, vodka. The latter seem to kill certain things that the others don't. I wouldn't buy cushioned furniture. Wood is a judgement call. I go by what my nose says is OK to bring inside.:-) Metal is the safest choice. The few pieces of furniture I bought after MCS were metal. There is a futon frame I see in Walmart once in a while that's metal. I think it comes with a mattress but I would get rid of it & use piles of blankets as a cushion. The outgassing process of all new stuff at the same time would drive me insane & be a huge clean-up job after it's been outside for long enough. > > Thank you , > > Im sorry to hear that you have suffere through this as well.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Yes the metal bed frame is not healthy as you said. In one of Hanna Kroeger's books is a way to wrap a copper wire around it for protection but I haven't done it. You can also ground your bed to the outside. I react to EMF's but I'm not bad enough to rush to do it. ly I'm darn sick of all the offgassing of every little thing & the job of cleaning up things that have sat outside for months. There's a group I think it's called emfrefugee that a freind of mine belongs to. She's really sensitive to EMF's. It's her whole problem. > > ... Metal is the safest choice.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 thats an interesting idea to groun the beds.. ive heard this too about metal beds.. our last beds were unfinished pine.. ive heard this can be an issue for some with mcs.. the pine smells and i gues vocs? the ones we purchsed this time were simple platform frames with a water based acrylic.. this has been ok for us. also run austin air in bedrooms. not suire how much that helps but can tell when off. planet thrive has some nice looking pics.. samples of mcs folks beddings.. one person used an old futon frame.. wood and washed possibly used canvas ... forgot how she attached the canvas, then she used piles of old blankets as a mattress. robin > > Yes the metal bed frame is not healthy as you said.
