Well, it's been a solid month or more since I said much here.
The cooler weather & snow & rain have helped to quash the smell/ fumes /off gassing from the stuff. All the little thistle seedlings are gone. I did go out a couple of wks ago & dug up a lot of large thistles from the shrubs around the front door - there's been enough 2,4-D applied to damage some of the shrubs.
I don't feel so absolutely distressed/ trapped & desperate to get out of here all the time ..... That was a profound emotional experience, I can tell you .........
I still have a sore throat, has never let up, tho not as severe
Lungs don't hurt much but have "bronchitis" and a bit of cough
Tinnitis is loud & never quits [and gets really loud if I breathe when I put the detergent in the dishwasher-smell the stuff at all]
More stiff & sore & achey than before.
Had a lot of rather intense 'hot flashes' until this last week [that's most often associated with liver congestion-according to Traditional Chinese Medicine-and that theory & how to eliminate has always worked well for me]
Have developed a sore itchy, painful at times red patch under the edge of each arm pit [that's new !!!!] {relates to the lymphatic system & persperation/ releasing toxins}
Eyes, still sore, inflammed, some swelling & redness continues around the outer corners & peeling. Really painful still, opening them in the night when I've been asleep for awhile. Eyesight has declined noticably.
Short term Memory is lousy, that's frustrating and scarey too. Sigh ... now I'm loosing my mind too - lol
Shaun's allergies have flared up & he has eczema [although just on one finger !] so has removed wheat & yeast from his diet which is helping. Since I'd removed them from my own diet several years ago that part isn't too difficult.
For certain we will be moving come about April, but in the meantime we will still have to live in an environment which is essentially contaminated. And I still haven't put together a good letter of protest to the property mgmt & lawn people & sub contractor who did the spraying. Still working on gathering info tho. In this situation I feel as if it's not much good to complain too much unless I've some information & recommendations to back up my complaint.
Ohh, I can get quite long winded, can't I ??? lol
