    Emily, I expect there's mold in the walls here, and from what I've gathered from talking to my doc and even the HVAC guy, that is the norm rather than the exception. Not out of control black mold, just run of the mill household mold from condensation caused by the AC running nine months out of the year. I breathe best when I'm at the icebox (work), they keep it very cold and it's a newer building with better filtration.

    Did you consider getting HEPA room filter? It may help collect pollen and spores floating in the room. Here https://smile.amazon.com/Honeywell-1...om+HEPA+filter

    We have two of these. they are bit noisy at the high speed.

    Hi SC! We do have one, got it about a month after this started, I credit it with my ability to sleep several hours in a row without waking up gasping.


    We go home next weekend (the 17th), seems like options will be much clearer after that. Since the inhalers that are allowing me to breathe are causing my skin to break down (skin tears, small wounds that won't heal), we're now planning for sooner rather than later.

    I hate to hear that your inhalers are making you sicker! But, at least you can be focused when you go to Chicago next week. Hope the trip goes well.

    Crankin - I knew it could happen, especially at the dosage levels I'm on, but it is certainly annoying. I enjoy the breathing part, but the open sores become disconcerting, after a time, when they refuse to heal.

    I'm hoping we walk into the condo we're looking at and fall in love. It would be the easiest way to make the move and let us get thins show on the road!
