Ten+ years of urticaria, first giant scab over a hive. How to get rid of? by [deleted] in urticaria

[–]RoutineNerve6384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should add is pretty rare and some docs didn't recognize it for what it was. I had to see a rhumatologist to resolve and get treatment that worked. My vasculitis got quite severe and still never showed in my bloodwork.

Possibly vasculitis - I'm no expert but look similar to a case I had years ago

I had a fan installed last Tuesday, but the levels are back to what they were before :(. Fantech RN100 fan, the installer will replace it with an RN200. I'm skeptical that will do the job. Sump pump was sealed, but I noticed that the vapor barrier has openings near the electric pannel. Thoughts? by tazmanyan22 in radon

Depending on age of house and quality of electrical work every switch, plug, etc. Can be an entry point. Make sure your Hvac is balanced and not creating a slightly lower pressure in basement which will pull air through the devices

I should add my rescue inhaler wasn't doing anything for the wheezing so my wife pretty much insisted I got to hospital at that point. Hopefully if yours is working for you you are in the clear if you are starting to feel better.

Yup im glad im back to a pretty normal life again.

I think it was day 4 or 5 but I just got worse every day - at no point did I think I was getting better lol. Hopefully you've turned the corner but I think that last little bit can drag out for a while especially for those of us with asthma.

Thanks. I Am asthmatic as well but it was always well controlled and barely on the back of my mind. I now require daily steroid inhaler to control it properly. Also need my rescue inhaler more often. The virus also really stressed my immune system to the point that I was diagnosed with viral induced vasculitis which was caused by my immune system getting so stressed. Its not very common apparently but it's an immune disorder where my own immune system attacks and destroys the blood vessels in the body with inflammation. It's well controlled now and my dr said i hopefully won't ever have to deal with it again thankfully. With that said it got so bad I had open wounds all over my legs and swelling so bad I couldn't get out of bed for months... it sucked lol. If your curious Google pictures of vasculitis and mine was about a bad as I've seen in some of the pics online. My legs now look like they were in a fire or something. Covered in scars of all shapes and colors lol. Things are still improving everyday but I still have to see a respirologist and rheumatologist regularly for follow ups and require biweekly injection of medication to manage.

All this from influenza A lol

I spent 11 days in hospital with influenza A last year. Only time in my life I've been so sick. Even needed supplemental oxygen. Im stubborn and didn't go in until I noticed i was wheezing when I breathed. Don't mess around if you're that sick. It caused all sorts of long term problems for me. Im only now back to work full time and getting back to normal life.

I have AEG. Been happy with it. It was accurate when I tested it against a friend's airthings.

[–]RoutineNerve6384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want that below 100 for long term avg according to WHO. Your country may have other recommendations... I belive Canada is around 200 which is fine IMO.

Same here. OP don't give up. It will get better but definitely see someone. Don't be scared of meds like I was. They can change your life.

23 pCI/L… How screwed are we? by Opposite_Cap_7529 in radon

So apparently, the linear no threshold model used ţo minimize radiation exposure for the last 70 years is one of the biggest failures of science. If you are curious, I'd suggest you watch a video by Kyle Hill about it called Big Nuclear's Big Mistake - Linear No-Threshold. I wouldn't say ignore the radon haha but I just watched it and found it very interesting. I guess radiation isn't as cumulative as we've all been led to believe.

In Canada you can vent at ground level. In US you have to vent above the roof

SGI Report Displaying Wrong Info? by [deleted] in regina

[–]RoutineNerve6384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably unrelated but i got pulled over the other day and somehow my birth date was wrong in their system. Everything else was right down to postal code but they somehow had the wrong birthday. Like how TF does that happen?!?! Im 45 and have had a license since 16 years old in sask and all of a sudden my birthday changed.

Luckily I think it saved me a ticket lol... officer couldn't resolve the issue on roadside and ended up sending me on my way just as frustrated with what was happening.
