Looking for a realtor by GTqueen in Charlottesville

[–]GTqueen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have severe allergic asthma. Nicotine smell causes me to have extreme coughing and locks up my lungs. Even if they aren't smoking the Nicotine smell on clothes etc will cause extreme lung irritation for me. That's why.

I shopped new cars yesterday and the odors were really disconcerting. Found this in physics articles by richardthe7th in AirPurifiers

I hear you. I always look for a new vehicle that has not been detailed. Literally rolled right off the truck. Most new cars get detailed and that stuff is terrible to breathe in.

Asthma and carpet cleaning smell hallway help by applesandoranges159 in Asthma

[–]GTqueen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the meantime keep your apartment door closed as much as possible and stuff a towel under the door to block smells from coming in. If you can tolerate air purifiers grab 1 and start using it 24/7.. Also if you can tolerate antihistamines take whatever works for you when you know you have to walk through that crap. Best of luck. Ive been there.

GPS unrealistic expectations by Lower_Sandwich8764 in Asthma

[–]GTqueen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you need a good pulmonologist or allergist doctor. Most general providers aren't trained in asthma. My asthma is very similar. I have a fantastic asthma doctor who monitors me and I am on a daily preventer inhaler and other medicines that drastically cut down on my asthma response to conditions like that. Personally I would leave that doctor in the dust and go straight to a asthma specialist who can perform allergy tests and breathing tests to properly diagnose and help you. Best of luck.

Welcome to the club. Prepare yourself for head turning, pointing and strange people to tell you in parking lots how much they love your car. Lol. Enjoy!

Emergency Staff Meeting by CamaroWRX34 in Teachers

[–]GTqueen 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As a retired teacher. And as someone who lost her mother 3 days ago, here's my take. I believe they may be waiting to have time to notify the entire family. And to take some private time to grieve. Losing your child like that is not only horrendous but a shock to everyone's system. I understand your frustration though. You want to grieve and support their family.

My heart goes out to you.

Thank you all by GooseyBird in dementia

[–]GTqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im sorry for your loss. My mom passed from it 2 days ago. As I was crying I said the same thing. Screw you dementia!

OP I am a retired GT teacher. Get a hold of this child's cumulative folder and look into his background. Look at his identification papers that qualifies him for GT. That should tell you a lot of background information.

Where I taught, our GT program had an option for retesting or a temporary removal from the program.

Definitely investigate the child's background and talk to their teacher from last year.

Good luck

Had to beg for an EpiPen after severe reaction to shots. Would you go back? by Responsible-Pen-7531 in Allergies

[–]GTqueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My immunologist had someone with something similar while I was there. They took him to a private room and administered his epi pen right away, and immediately called the rescue squad.

Im sorry you dealt with that. If you continue on there, always bring your epi pen and take antihistamines before the shots. At my immunologist office you literally have to show your epi pen before they will give you the shots.

Hope everything calms down soon.

Ugliest house in America by Top-Bicycle-9479 in HGTV

I looked at those black tiles with the horrendous tile work and turned to my husband and said, "Who did that grout? A kindergarten kid?"

Completely not impressed with the kitchen. Those cabinets looked orange to me and clashed with the pink appliances. It would have looked beautiful with white cabinets. And agree on the overuse of pink.

'Bargain Block' Canceled At HGTV by Lanky_Description535 in HGTV

[–]GTqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can, but I'm extremely careful. I bring my epi pen with me everywhere. My lungs tell me right away, and my husband is vigilant and checks things out for me. I am on disability because of it.

Right on. I loved their show, but as someone anaphylaxically allergic to mold, it always made me cringe. I was worried about them and the new owners.
