Q: Chronic Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
asked by: cindyanne123 on July 28th, 2007

I was subjected to CO poisoning for 4 months in my workplace office. I work alone,during the day, in an old theatre so no one else was getting the poison. I did not know what was wrong but I had all the syptoms, unbearable headaches, nauseau, intestinal problems. weight loss, dizziness, thinking problems, tremors, lower part of my face looked like I had had a stroke, my eyesight worsened and I stumbled & staggered all the time. Even my GP didn't figure it out. He treated me for sinus problems. I am not a complainer, so I thought I could tough it out!One week I didn't go to work & someone came in to practice on the stage. The power co. came & found the leak. I called Nat'l Poison Control Hotline to ask when I would start to feel better. They not only instructed me to go directly to a hospital, but they kept in contact with the drs. during my stay. I rec'd 3 hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatments.My pronosis is bascially my brain will aged faster. Dementia, thinking & motor skills will leave me & I could develop Parkinson's.

CO Very Serious Stuff
After my CO poisoning, I am trying to educate because I've discovered a lack of knowledge in professionals, doctors, and governmental agencies. It is no wonder that CO is America's #1 unintentional poisoning.


These first 2 articles also have great links to more info and CO news.
