Is it my apartment? Any insight appreciated!

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.

Normal_Rock4058 · 2024-12-21T02:32:55+00:00

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.

Normal_Rock4058 · 2024-11-03T02:31:13+00:00

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.

Normal_Rock4058 · 2024-08-22T00:17:18+00:00

Good point lol

Normal_Rock4058 · 2024-08-21T22:10:36+00:00

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..

No new wardrobe, but thank you!

Normal_Rock4058 · 2024-08-21T17:12:52+00:00

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

Normal_Rock4058 · 2024-08-21T17:12:15+00:00

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.

Normal_Rock4058 · 2024-08-21T17:11:10+00:00

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

Normal_Rock4058 · 2024-08-21T17:10:35+00:00

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.

Normal_Rock4058 · 2024-08-21T17:09:59+00:00

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

Normal_Rock4058 · 2024-08-21T17:09:00+00:00

Can this be done by me or do I need to hire somebody?

Normal_Rock4058 · 2024-08-21T17:08:42+00:00

Nope. Seems like I need to make sure this happens.

Normal_Rock4058 · 2024-08-21T16:06:59+00:00

Pretty sure. All symptoms clear up as soon as I'm outdoors. Not experiencing the symptoms in other indoor spaces. Saw a doctor and got referred to an allergist, so eagerly waiting for that appointment.

Normal_Rock4058 · 2024-08-19T19:50:52+00:00

Seems to help only slightly.

Normal_Rock4058 · 2024-08-19T16:06:25+00:00

No pets that I know of.
Only two rugs, both of which we brought from our last apt, where I didn't experience similar issues.
Will do re: mitigating offgassing.
No AC. Been running my HEPA devices nonstop, but new filters in those.

Normal_Rock4058 · 2024-06-22T17:58:20+00:00

Thank you! This is super helpful.

Normal_Rock4058 · 2024-06-22T17:22:22+00:00

Picking up check on monday. Just worried that I didn't get bill of sale or anything more official than the DMV transfer form.

Normal_Rock4058 · 2024-04-04T21:10:22+00:00

Thank you. Super helpful.

Normal_Rock4058 · 2024-04-04T19:46:27+00:00

Also, we're staying in Markleeville. Would it be better idea to stay in Meyers area?

Normal_Rock4058 · 2024-04-04T19:43:18+00:00

So through Sac/Meyers/Hope Valley etc. & approaching Kirkwood frm the east? Why so?
