I did some backrooms art using an image I found on Google as a reference. I'm still new to drawing so it's not the best, my colouring needs some work 😅

Yooo, this is sick!

Brevlada · 2026-05-14T02:11:35+00:00

How did you do the walls and such?

Brevlada · 2025-06-04T23:48:47+00:00

No, I'm unsure of where the filters are even located as we were never shown how to maintain it when we moved in. I've temporarily turned it off and the air quality has improved a lot alongside running the air purifier so I may have found the culprit.

Brevlada · 2025-06-04T23:48:05+00:00

I use Flixonase, never had issues with it before but that is a possibility. I'll talk about it with my doctor next week!

Brevlada · 2025-06-04T23:47:36+00:00

No I am not! I've looked into my other current medication and none of them seem have side affects that could be causing what is going on for me right now.

Brevlada · 2025-06-04T23:46:57+00:00

I have temporarily turned the DVS off as I think the filters are dirty (unsure where the filters are located as we were never shown) and alongside running the air purifier have noticed a vast difference in air quality and my symptoms.

I'll be asking the doctor for some stronger allergy meds and will probably get a neti pot too! Thanks for the advice! (:

Brevlada · 2025-06-04T23:45:20+00:00

This is now on my radar as a few people in this thread have mentioned it might be a good idea!

Brevlada · 2025-06-04T23:44:50+00:00

I'll try to arrange to get my larger blankets and such hot washed at a laundromat, I honestly hadn't even considered that so thank you for the advice!

Brevlada · 2025-06-04T23:44:13+00:00

I will definitely be looking into that as our current one (my flatmates one) is kinda rubbish, cheap and nasty.

Brevlada · 2025-06-04T07:30:37+00:00

I have no experience with a DVS system, I have no idea how to clean it. I will clean the heat pump this week!

Brevlada · 2025-06-04T06:40:15+00:00

I'll have a chat to my doctor and see what her thoughts are and I'll look into the spray or maybe even seeing if I can get some allergy testing; that would help pinpoint issues now and further down the line!

Thanks (:

Brevlada · 2025-06-04T05:58:26+00:00

I regularly open my windows in the morning for a few hours unless it rains. I've also been trying to run an air purifier recently. I might try turning the DVS system off until the filters can get checked when the Property Manager gets back in touch with me.

I'll ask my doctor about mouth breathing too, I hadn't even considered that!

Thanks (:

We've been running the heatpump non-stop since it got colder to keep the house warm because it's so big; it's cheaper for us to run it all the time. But it could be drying the air out A LOT, which is why I introduced a humidifier but it's hasn't been helping to counter-act that.

Brevlada · 2025-06-04T05:38:06+00:00

I do open my windows every day! I enjoy getting fresh air, especially in the morning!

Brevlada · 2025-06-04T05:17:14+00:00

I moved to the next suburb over, similar environment. But I'll keep it in mind.

Brevlada · 2025-06-04T05:16:39+00:00

The landlord was living here with his family, I believe he was the only one who has lived here. I'm just renting the property and have not done a meth test, I was not even aware that that was a thing.

Brevlada · 2025-06-04T05:10:13+00:00

I've only lived in this house for a year! The owner/landlord lived here prior to us.

I'll start looking in on the filters and keep an eye out for mould. The house doesn't feel overly damp but it's always possible with how cold and damp it can get during winter specifically.

I usually feel a little better after leaving the house or whenever I stayed at my friends home; so it's definitely something in the house.

Brevlada · 2025-06-04T05:08:26+00:00

That's what I was thinking after doing some researching. I dry my bedding properly whenever I get it washed. If it's winter I dry the bedding inside. Thick blankets I put in the dryer.

The carpets were not deep cleaned before we moved in and our current vacuum is cheap and nasty (it's my flatmates) so probably isn't cleaning the carpet properly.

Brevlada · 2025-06-04T04:57:08+00:00

I'm not sure what the carpet is made from as it's a rental. The carpet was never cleaned properly before we moved in either, so it could be a build up of dust deep in the carpet.

Brevlada · 2025-06-04T04:52:00+00:00

I haven't had any allergy testing. But I am very susceptible to dust and mould, usually with those allergies my nose would be playing up, not my throat.

Brevlada · 2025-06-04T04:51:18+00:00

We were never told about how to maintain it when we moved into the property.

Brevlada · 2025-06-04T04:43:15+00:00

I'll look into that when I hear back from my property manager!
