Strategy for carpet....last ditch effort to remain.....what are opinions......

[Guest guest]

regarding what to do? I'm addressing only the CARPET issue now(wall

to wall in huge house...27 months old). I had laid 14 rugs(not new)

from Goodwill on top of NEW carpet after moving in....no problem for

first 6 months....then gradual fatigue, no sleep, started and

progressed to point of spending lots $$$$$$$$ on docs/tests...all

negative(GI problems were and still are BAD). Lost from 168 down to

(today 134) most of it in just 7 weeks. OK......some symptoms hit

then....got worse...took up and threw awy rugs a month ago, vacummed

carpet(4 hrs), got expensive new allergen filters for ac/heat, and

bought $200 hepa/charcoal filter for air purifier(in bedroom, and

last 2 days have to wear mask.....its on high and not helping like

it did...it was WORSE when I opened windows 4 days...shouldnt have

done it...sooooo...WHY did I live in NEW house for 6 months no

problems???? HOW LONG does it take mold to start, but also HOW LONG

does it take CARPET FUMES to start hitting me...heard " gas-off " can

last 4 yrs.

Now...one LAST thing to try....your comments please....what about

(steam) CLEANING the carpets...it will put water in carpets, but

some people have system that dries it out fast, I guess. Or would

the steam (or dry) clean NOT be a good idea....make matters

WORSE???? Please comment on carpet cleaning and what type to use.

Thanks ps....I had misearble visit with Card doc this am...he

brushed me off and said he was orried about getting patient with

chest pains admitted to hosp...WELL, THAT was the reason why bI went

to him....chest pains for 6 days!!! Geez, I have NO respect for

docs!!!(the non enviro ones). Thanks Steve
