Guest guest Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Can you get an personal air cleaner, and if you are having trouble with mold, how about a small dehumidifer, if you look around at the big-box stores, like wal-mart, you can get them for a better price, sounds like your apt isn't that huge, probably one of each would suffice. Just an idea. I have been trying to find an apt without carpets, they all are completely covered with carpet except for the entryways, and bathrooms, I would rather not have wall to wall carpet in any rooms.From: A Hill To: asthma Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2011 10:06 AMSubject: Doctors' appointment yesterday I've had the familiar sounding annoying symptom of mucus in the back of my throat permanently for months now.

They are the two affected rooms, as I dry clothes in my living room (no outdoor drying area, and it's too expensive to always use hte tumble dryer), and also cook as my kitchen and living room is actually one big room rather than two separate rooms. Then my bedroom is affected as I have an en-suite and use the shower in there rather than the main bathroom (which has a window - the en-suite doesn't) as it's a much better shower. I've also wiped up a lot of the dust with a damp cloth, and later I'll pull as much of the furniture away from the walls as I can to properly vacuum under there.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Yes, we have a lot of pound shops (so more expensive as one pound is more than one dollar), though again, I've never seen them in there. They are available here as I had one at uni, but not that common. Plug in dehumidifiers are also not that cheap. JennTha can tek t'lass outta Yorkshire...!

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 No they are not, but, they were painting and restoring our cement balconies last summer, and really it was illegal, the way they went about it, and there were chemicals everywhere, that is when I bought my air cleaners, paid about 40.00 per cleaner, and they just worked miracles, I was thankful to have them, I will be moving the end of the month, this apt bldg where I live doesn't care about the tenants rights, or health, or anything, they are just out to make money, a lot of people have been moving this last year, we are all finally fed up. To look at the bldg, you would think it it perfect here, but, that is just to draw the people in here, which they do, but, there are so many really bad things in here, heat is broken on and off all winter, air-conditioning, elevators, just name it. They fool around, trying to save money, so nothing is ever really fixed, just band aids put on it. So I will be out of here. But the best thing I ever did was to buy the air cleaners. You can buy small radio size ones with washable filters too, one woman in here has a couple of them around her apt, and they seem to work as well as the middle size ones I have.To: asthma Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2011 11:01 AMSubject: Re: Doctors' appointment yesterday Yes, we have a lot of pound shops (so more expensive as one pound is more than one dollar), though again, I've never seen them in there.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 hopefully you'll be able to make your existing environment better while you are there.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 No I will not enjoy moving, I am getting older and cannot do the things I used to do, and I cannot find a place to move. And I am supposed to be out by the end of this month. Am rather afraid, don't know where i am going to end up.To: asthma Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2011 10:40 PMSubject: Re: Doctors' appointment yesterday You are probably the only person who will enjoy moving.Glad you are getting out of there.
