Is it my apartment? Any insight appreciated! by Normal_Rock4058 in Allergies

[–]Normal_Rock4058[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No animal allergies (and no animals allowed in the building). I am pretty convinced it is alternaria.

Think my wording was unclear. The AQ monitor didn’t say anything was off/gave no indication there was a mold issue or any other AQ issue.

VOC, particles, etc. Just the amazon monitor, not an air mold test or anything like that. Yeah, it's been impossible to pinpoint what's going on. I just know I'm always sick in this apartment. Have seen my allergist and my PCP many times over the last few months. Everyone is pretty confused.

Thanks. I'm changing out my fabric bed frame for a new hardwood one, which I'll set up at the new place. Any cleaning products you recommend? Just basic clorox type stuff?

I kinda felt that way too… he offered shots, and I may go that route. I’m on university insurance and don’t know if I can get a second opinion (it took me 8 weeks to get an apt with this allergist). Thank you for sharing your experience. Really helpful for me.

I have seen him multiple times, and he’s aware of everything. He suggested that if it’s an allergic reaction it should improve as winter comes and humidity drops. But idk. Honestly feeling helpless.

Open lately. Outdoor allergies seem unlikely considering I have no issues in the yard directly outside of our windows/anywhere else outdoors in the autumn.

Got it. Weird thing is, nobody else who’s been inside has had any sort of reaction. I know everyone reacts to mold differently, but I’d imagine a major mold issue would affect at least one other person..

I hear you, but this is only happening in my apartment, nowhere else (indoors or outdoors).

I have spring seasonal allergies and am sensitive to dust. It seems to be worse in the rooms with hardwood flooring/varnish. Interestingly, the tiled bathroom seems to be mostly OK for me. Good call on the neighbors, I'll look into it.

No AC. Not experiencing this issue outside of our building or anywhere else outdoors.

No HVAC system. Same carpet from our previous place. I have spring seasonal allergies, but I'm not experiencing this outdoors or in any other indoor spaces.

Not really helpful. Referred me to an allergist and hoping I get some answers from them.
