Season Changes, Work and/or Pets? PLEASE HELP

by gemini1975, Mar 21, 2007 12:00AM
Hi, here are my symptoms:

Heat coming out of left ear
Squeezing chest
Left lower leg numb
Sinus pressure
burning under breastbone
tender lymph nodes

These symptoms started in late '05, after bronchitis, and went away in March '06.
They returned in late '06, and I'm still suffering. I've had two blood/urine tests within two
months (doctor wanted to test again just to be sure), and nothing. I work in a warehouse
as a publishing editor, and my symptoms seem to occur when the auto AC/heating unit
is activated, but I didn't suspect a possible allergy until this past weekend, when cat-sitting
prompted a visit to the doctor (my head felt like it was going to explode). I don't have
shortness of breath, but the squeezing chest and numb lower leg are very bothersome, as
well as worrisome. The squeezing especially - it is so painful, I find myself crouching over
until it stops. When it went away in March '06, I thought my troubles had ended, but now
I'm right back where I was.

Help!! Thanks.

What it sounds to me is that you've found yourself in a situation where your body is simply saying enough is enough. There are times when your body's ability to fight gets compromised which then means your body is that much more vulnerable. It sounds as if this is the case.

What I would suggest is that in your workplace and your home you should look into getting Polarized Media Filters, which goes right on your furnace. I used to have problems with the air in my home and before talking with a colleague about it was unsure of what to do. My colleague told me about how much of an effect air can have on us in general, and how it is well able to compromise our health. This said I wondered how I could then improve my own air so I wouldn't have these problems, she told me about these same filters that I suggested to you. So I did the research and found they worked quite well, which I then proved when I had them in my home and now no longer have these problems.

I could tell you all the technical terms of its use and how it actually works, but I think you may find the explanation from me to be a bit confusing. The best place for more info and price that I've found is at www.airlifeone.com. I did have a few questions as I recall, when I bought the filters, but the company didn't give me any problems at all. I've had a very good experience with this company and don't mind recommending it to people.

Well, I hope that this helps you out.
