Re: Healing from Some Kind of Chemical or Similar Exposure

hi,

are you sure it wasn;t carbon monoxide you were exposed to?
it kind of sounds like my story.

i moved with my kids from colorado to texas and into a house that was a meth lab and had a monoxide leak.

we left after almost three months of being VERY sick all the time and thought we would be fine. again, we brought our stuff not knowing what might be contaminated or not.

however, since we moved out, we all became very chemically sensitive, so much that my kids had to leave school and we're hermits while healing.

i had to get rid of all my stuff too, because of the headaches... the SAME headaches that CO causes and the smell is of old and closet-y and i can;t even describe it.

they say CO does not adhere to items, but i swear it does. i think my stuff was contaminated frmo CO onthe truck over here, which most people would never know, and then since we were all poisoned by monoxide, we can tell ANY kind of hydrocarbons from a mile away.
i used to get bloody noses around exhaust, before we began treatment and desensitization and detox.

still, i personally think those carbon molecules adhere and stay on things, even walls... and the crappy thing with CO is when youre exposed, your own body will trigger itself off when exposed again. because we all make CO in our systems. when we inhale any minute amount, we become inflamed and then we actually PRODUCE it... which causes even more of a trigger to cause more inflammation. basically we're a trigger to ourselves. the cycle must be broken somewhere. monoxide is different that way. we make it.

i had other VOC's from the meth lab that was in the unit before we lived there, and surely mold as well.

i also think the cold air you feel is because your olfactory nerves are heightened to such a degree to that particular trigger, that it perceives it as cold.

you said you already had a lot of docs. but do they do functional medicine? you need to someone, either a chiropractor who does applied kinesiology (AK), a naturopath, an md or a do that does FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE. all the supplements in the world won't help if the whole body isn't being looked at simultaneously.

go look up functional medicine. and CO poisoning. your system is triggering itself to the micro bits of whatever might still be on the walls. did you wash the walls with baking soda and peroxide? the ceiling, the ceiling fan?

you need to get some kind of specific desensitization.

hope this helps,
Dee
