Guest guest Posted February 27, 1999 Report Share Posted February 27, 1999 HI Daryl, I'm relatively new to this group, too, but I'm sure someone out there has a list of doctors. When I went to find a doctor, I had to resort to calling EVERY md in the phone book and after being VERY blunt about what I wanted, finally found one. Keep trying! As for this support group, you can expect the unexpected. It seems we have good days and bad (just like every family) and we don't always agree, but we love each other and are all trying our best to support. Hang in there and God Bless. We're here!

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2001 Report Share Posted January 3, 2001 Hello, Thanks to Barb Herskowitz for reading a post of mine on an MCS website about my worsening asthma. I hope this group can help me avoid what I am sure are unecessary drugs and suffering. I have MCS and toxic encephalopathy from multiple pesticide exposures. I also have asthma from these exposures and from being working sick buildings with no outside air vented in (the law only requires 10 % and my offices did not even get that much). My last exposures to pesticides both at home and office finished me off and I am now disabled. While living in my father's house (his wife's actually) for three months I was unable to breathe there - they have steam heat which has always been fine for me, but have a mold problem in their basement and keep the house hermetically sealed to save on heating bills. I kept to a single bedroom and closed off the heating vent, while keeping an air purifier on and a window wide open. In the rest of the house I wore a particle mask. I am now in a new apartment near the water and the outside air quality is great! No mask needed outdoors. When I moved in, I did not detect any mold odors on this second floor of a two family house. However, in my second week of living here, the asthma started up again. Each room has two steam radiators (no vents permitting air from other floors up however). I started using an inhaler and wear a mask outside the bedroom. In the bedroom, a window is open and a Care2000 hums 24/7 but I am still smelling musty odor and my asthma seems to worsen/lighten depending upon the heat situation. Last night, in desperation, I put heavy duty aluminum foil over the radiators and staved off frostbite (this is NY) with a small ceramic electric heater. My lungs were better in less than an hour! If it works again tonight, I will ask the landlord to show me how to shut off the radiators. Questions: 1. Why would hot water/steam heat bother me now? 2. Will heated aluminum foil be a short-term problem for me? 3. Does anyone know a good brand of electic heater I could buy for a large bedroom. My ceramic heater is better for a smaller room like my sitting/tv room. Any assistance you can render will be appreciated. BTW - the worst damage done to me was while I was under accommodation plans at work and with a previous landlord (new tenants refused to follow his guidelines about protecting me). People don't believe we can be harmed by these things they cannot see! Barbara http://community.webtv.net/Raisyl/PHOENIXRISING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Dear Cliff: Thanks for your report. It is great to have someone like you who has taken such an interest in taking care of your cancer problem. The monitoring PSA figures are so interesting because they seem to be directly reflecting the results of your dietary intake! On the Vitamin D issue, Pfizer has purchased the rights to 2MD, a vitamin D derivitive from a Dr at Wisconsin Univ. The Dr found it increased vertebrae bone mass 25% in six months. It is in phase two of testing. This may prove to also have a relationship to cancer treatment. It is a fact that cancer zones are in areas with little sunshine, which reflects low D levels.
