Guest guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hello all, I am new to this group. Wanna run something by all of you who have experience with SBS. My husband and I have five small children and moved to this little farmette 2.5 years ago. We weren't in here a week yet and DH and myself came down with a major flu thing. Since that time, all my children (mostly the 4, 3 and 1 year old) keep having recurring episodes - they wake up with a fever, vomit for a few hours and then seem fine. This year the fevers have lasted 5-6 days with periodic vomitting. My 4 year complains constantly of belly pain. My 8 year old has off and on headaches and " eye pain " . DH has experienced extreme fatigue (which he has been blaming on the long commute home from work, but he's only 36 years old and falls asleep all the time after dinner). For my part, I have had two children since moving into this home, both were difficult pregnancies filled wth extreme migraines (which at the time I blamed simply on being pregnant). My hair has been falling out every since moving in here! We did find some mold on the sheet rock in the laundry room and removed it. We found a small patch of mold in the children's bathroom and removed that as well. There is constant mildew on the one side of the house that gets little sun that we have to power wash two to three times in the year. I just wonder if all this isn't SBS? What do we do at this point? Hire an environmental guy to test the air quality? What if the air quality sucks?? My kids are homeschooled so it's not like I can say they are picking up these illnesses at school. Any advice would be appreciated. +JMJ+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
