Re: One step forward...Dawn

I so know what you mean.

I know we lived in a Duplex once and once we moved in I didn't realize they

had painted the place until I got sick. a Huge shot of corti steroid and 3

days off of work for no ventilation is no fun.

sucked, anyways, hope you get to feeling better.

It seems like it's one step forward and two steps back some days. My

asthma kicked up again. We are having the outside of the house

painted and when the men sprayed the windows all of a sudden I

couldn't breath. I lost my voice. I think some paint fumes leaked

through. My son was very upset. My husband came home and took us all

out. I didn't feel like I could concentrait to drive. After and Hour

I felt better. The next time they sprayed some windows I left right

away, before I got bad. Still, they have the back half of the house

to do next.

So my son is scared again. He woke up at 3am and was crying that I

was dead and he had to burry me. He said he drempt I had died and

then tried to throw dirt on myself to burry myself. But I wasn't

doing a good job of it.

The next day he would not go to pre-school, he was afraid to leave me.

Yesterday he kept saying he wanted to talk to the guys painting. He

asked them, " Why are you making my Mom sick? She is allergic to

paint. " I just felt like, wow, he is trying to defend me. He is so

sweet.

Thanks , I actually took the kids to a hotel for the night. My

husband was out of town. It has taken 2 weeks one day to complete,

but the house is finally painted. Today and yesterday I cleaned

everything! I just want everything to settle so I can get back to

normal. I hope the testing in Novemeber helps solve some mysteries

for me about what my triggers could be.
