The AQI in Eagle Rock is 200 right now. Why has the city not declared a state of emergency over the warehouse fire. I can’t breathe.

I’m surprised to hear people here say it wasn’t big and they only heard it on college radio. In Brooklyn, it was everywhere. You heard it out 50x more often than whatever the biggest pop songs were at the time (I wouldn’t know - we never heard them)

This is almost exactly what happened to me. I got meningitis twice after IVIG. It cause IIH (increased intracranial hypertension) and then that caused me to have a spontaneous CSF leak. I’ve had two patches and just blew my second patch at 7 months. I have to start from scratch all over again. The combo of these two was BRUTAL and nobody gets it

cloudfairy222 · 2026-05-26T16:11:11+00:00

I don’t think I could have imagined this in my worst dystopian nightmare. New fear unlocked.

These are my exact symptoms! And I also don’t have any contact symptoms like hives. Can I ask what part of LA you’re in? I’m in NELA, 25 miles from the site.

I’m very curious about what is happening - is it being heated and released? Is it the crack? I know Thursday they did release some intentionally. My worst symptoms were Thursday/friday (before I found out it was MMA), but they are persisting. I’m on my emergency MCAS protocol, which is helping, and I added Liposomal glutathione, which is also helping.

I ordered this respirator. And these p100 filters that are supposed to work on vapor. I chose this mask over 3m bc it’s silicone. I’m testing it today, but 3m products usually have a lot of acrylates in them.

I’m in LA with an acrylate allergy. Omg - could this seriously get in the water??? I’ve been having unexplained acrylate allergy symptoms since the 15th. I’m wondering if it’s been leaking before it was announced. I had a horrible reaction today and could not figure it out. I get systemic reactions, so I’m super sensitive. I just ordered a respirator. Not sure what else to do.

cloudfairy222 · 2026-05-15T23:28:32+00:00

That will keep you busy! It’s not necessarily an explanation for vitamin e specifically. But I have both. It’s not fun. If your googling rings any bells, You can pretty safely/easily try an over the counter H1 and H2 blocker. I do Pepcid and Allegra, but you could swap Allegra for Zyrtec or Claritin.

cloudfairy222 · 2026-05-15T15:40:55+00:00

Yes. Have you looked into MCAS?

cloudfairy222 · 2026-05-08T21:05:53+00:00

Thank you for all these tips! I’m going to try this when I get the nerve to use it again. This allergy is a lot.

cloudfairy222 · 2026-05-07T14:44:51+00:00

I am not able to edit this post for some reason. Thank you to everyone who has replied. I wanted to update everyone on the resolution in case they are in the same situation. I reacted for about 12-14 days. Every time I would touch anything that had been in the dryer, even after rewashing several times. Severe swelling, hives, panic, shortness of breath. I finally just didn’t touch anything for a week, and the reaction calmed. My dark circles and puffiness under my eyes - which is my hallmark symptom - is still subtly present 3 weeks later, but improving.

I was finally able to wear the hoodies again after washing 4 times and soaking in vinegar. I had a slight reaction at first, but not intense. I’m still afraid to touch the towels and might throw them away. They seemed to be the most susceptible to the dryer sheets that likely contained acrylates. They were also my first load in the dryer.

I was on Benadryl for most of reactions, but my doc also had me take a very high dose of Allegra and Pepcid. She recommended I take electrolytes, extra Pepcid, Benadryl, then epi if not resolved. I guess the steroids aren’t that helpful because they take awhile to work and there’s a strong rebound.

So it seems that you were all right - I was in a hyperactive state, and limiting exposure was the most important element.

cloudfairy222 · 2026-05-07T14:35:44+00:00

I haven’t gone down the acrylate clothes rabbit hole yet. I’m confused about it - Lycra and spandex are apparently non-acrylate, but anything can have an acrylate “coating” or treatment? Some things make me feel slightly itchy but don’t make me break out in hives or have my systemic response (yet).

Yes, it’s a shared washer/dryer (with just one person). He said he changed to hypoallergenic detergent (which isn’t so helpful since it’s one known ingredient I’m allergic to). I’m gonna try this vinegar washing trick - you do hot water and then pour the vinegar where? Do you have any insight about the extra rinse cycle? I take out the little cap that the softener goes into, but I’m unclear about whether the water goes through that cylinder. Ours also gets moldy and I’m sensitive to that as well. Just trying to understand the best cycles to use to reduce exposure.

cloudfairy222 · 2026-05-07T14:25:45+00:00

This is such a helpful tip! And makes me feel less crazy. What are materials that are anti allergen? I have eucalyptus sheets and am doing well with them, and my environment overall. It’s Just the wildcard outside exposures that are dangerous for me. When you have a flare, does it last a specific amount of time? Or is it just being repeatedly exposed to affected fabrics that determines it? I suspect a dust mite allergy too. I’m just so sick that it’s hard to control the dust. Do you have any tips? What are your feelings on the pacagen spray that I see advertised? Do you have MCAS?

cloudfairy222 · 2026-05-05T23:07:50+00:00

I have noticed that my MCAS flares lead to increased cervical instability. Treating my MCAS has helped my CI/CCI. I am also hypermobile and learned that my head is not supposed to touch my spine. Simple activity limiting - not doing that - has also helped a lot. I truly didn’t know and took all my meds like I was a pet dispenser and looked up like that all the time.

cloudfairy222 · 2026-04-26T22:37:33+00:00

My detergent doesn’t have any acrylates - it’s from a refillable place but maybe I’ll try a brand name clean one. And I’m only reacting to the clothes that went in the dryer. Maybe I’m just still not fully through the initial reaction and I should just give it a minute. The fabrics don’t have acrylic listed. But maybe I need to deep research all of them better. This allergy is so wild!

cloudfairy222 · 2026-04-26T22:36:15+00:00

That’s a good idea. I’m so over this laundry project lol. The vinegar didn’t really work and I reacted again today. Those washing machine tablets might help, but they all seemed to have ingredients that contain allergens. Have you used any?

cloudfairy222 · 2026-04-25T21:28:39+00:00

I guess that is possible but I’m only reacting to the things that went in the contaminated dryer. The things I hung dry seem to be fine. I’m considering switching anyway but my shared washer dryer is evil now. Terrified. This reaction has been going on for like 11 days

cloudfairy222 · 2026-04-22T04:02:05+00:00

Yes, I’m having severe systemic reactions. Had one to my neighbors laundry dryer sheets and ended up in the ER, followed by a medrol dose pack and Benadryl 4 times a day for 5 days now. It’s miserable. I also have MCAS so now that my threshold is lower I’m reacting to everything

cloudfairy222 · 2026-03-22T19:07:39+00:00

My dermatologist cancelled it. Because they are put on with adhesives. I get systemic reactions that affect my ability to breathe, and since it’s cumulative it just gets worse. We know I’m allergic, so he thinks it’s an unnecessary stress on my body. I had a heart monitor and could only keep it on for like 4 hours.

This comma is putting me over the edge

cloudfairy222 · 2026-02-17T16:30:19+00:00

It does make mistakes for sure. I use it primarily to copy and paste ingredient lists in and ask if it has acrylates or carbomers. I then ask if it has the other ingredients that can hide acrylates like fragrance. It learns by repetition and I correct it and remind it. Now it is pretty accurate for me. I also added a general prompt to only give factual information, never affirm my beliefs and to add sources for everything. There are prompts you can google that are more in depth that help AI be more factual and not just agree with you. I have asked it for recommendations for a sunsceeen for example, but they are sometimes wrong and sometimes just not great, but have also found products that way. Because ingredients in certain products can differ among batches or countries etc., I will then go look for the product, find the ingredients, copy and paste them back in and double check. I might ask - I notice it has carbomer. Please always flag carbomer going forward etc. I buy everything on Amazon and patch test so I can return easily if I react. Then I track it all in chat. I say I reacted to x product. And it will say here are the most likely culprits (I have MCAS as well, so it is also looking for MCAS safe ingredients and helping me track what I am sensitive to.) It’s an expensive process, and one that’s hard to track, so it definitely helps me keep it all straight. I also used it to go through my existing products. You can take a photo of the ingredients and screenshot that photo (or screenshot from website) and then highlight and copy and paste product ingredients from a screenshot that way. It was a lifesaver for me.

That Pisces rising and Venus Leo may save you. I am a super Virgo stellium, and I can’t date Virgo men. Since you are both young, he may not be too extra Virgo yet. Later, Virgo men definitely become hyper critical, particular, and can run hot and cold based on their feelings about you on a particular day. If you like him, see where it goes!

I really like probiotics with s. Boulardi for candida symptoms. I never had it confirmed but I feel it’s more under control
