Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 central air is a necessity in dallas and it sucks the lifeblood from me. I have asthma and bronchiactesis so every after noon I am gasping and hoping to hang on until after dark on those 105 degree days. It has cooled of to 90 and my body fstill feels parched as a consequence of these summers. Tonight I walked 2.5 miles. I am coming back but very gradually. started homeopathy drops yesterday. had to try something new because all of the old was not working. darlenesb2000 <darlenesb2000@...> wrote: Yes that is exactly what i m saying. > > > I never had central air/heat ever.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 In the airport in Dallas last week I was talking to a lady from Colorado Springs, CO. I mentioned I was cold and complained about the air conditioning everywhere. She said where she was from nobody has air conditioning in their homes. She said the summers are not that hot, so the homes are built without them. I told her I was down to clinic to be treated since I got sick from mold I cleaned up in my home. She said she's never seen mold in any house where she is from. I believe her. Now they get cold winters so the central heating doesn't seem to be hurting anything. She was middle aged and looked pretty healthy and wasn't coughing or any telltale sign she was sick, but just didn't realize it yet. I think I was a central dehumidifier only and put large ceiling fans in areas I spend alot of time, bedroom, kitchen. Turn on a/c is it is already in, once in a blue moon. I like the heat. People go into sauna to relax. I believe in the saying, it's not the heat, it's the humidity, it's just we've built the cooling systems to mainly COOL and not dehumidify very well. My mother got pneumonia and landed in a hospital in Florida when we went down there on vacation from perspiring in the heat and then walking in and out of those cold hotel lobbies, restaurants and stores. She was very sick and so it doesn't do a body good either. I've heard it isn't healthy to have home temperature much different from outdoor temperature. You can't help it in the dead of winter but in the summer you could. --- darlenesb2000 <darlenesb2000@...> wrote: > Yes that is exactly what i m saying. > Quote

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Barb1283, I hate to disagree with your aquaintance from Colorado Springs but many houses in Colorado Springs and Denver have A/C and most new ones are built with it standard. It can be very hot here. Three years ago we had nearly 80 days of 90+ degrees with about 10 above 100. This year we had almost all of June in the 90's with several days over 100 and set at least 4 all-time record highs. The water damage and mold remediation business in this area is in the 10s of millions of dollars per year. The Yellow Pages are full of these types of contractors. One builder recently reported $19 million in costs just for themselves on one type of construction defect resulting in water and mold damage. And this is a semi-arid climate without lots of rain. But we do have condensation issues and MANY crawlspace problems. Per my previous post, a house seperates indoors from outdoors. That means that the indoors can be very different than the outside.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 walked it in 10 segments over the course of the day and night. I have to keep my legs strong because the muscles control bp. it is cooling off here. too fast. have to keep the ac low to breathe. i am sure you know that one.///oh my gosh, i do that burning and overheating sensation. what causes it??? tigerpaw2c <tigerpaw2c@...> wrote: Leigh, Congratulations, I don't know how you did it with all your symptoms. What drops are you taking? And do you contribute them to your stamina of being able to walk 2.5 miles? Especiallly in the heat. Before Sharon got sick we used to hike, bike, ski, camp, so we were quite active, but since this has occurred we haven't been able to attempt any of these endeavors. When I take her out now it's never in the heat and I know if it's anything over 200 yards she will pay for it the next day. So I always bring a wheelchair with me, even though she says no. Wherever we are at, most of the times somewhere outdoors, park, etc., it isn't long before she is sitting in it. She always runs a fever, especially late afternoon until the next morning. (regulate body temperature) a burning sensation from the inside out, that not too many are really able to explain. So trying to even attempt something like this is way out of the question, especially still experiencing heart palpations every now and then. Another reason to use the HBOT. So walking that distance is definately out for my wife, at least for right now. Sweating, overheating and burning up from the inside would put her in bed for days, which then of course would flare everything else up. KC > > > > > I never had central air/heat ever.
