Hi yes your symptoms definatly sounds like co poison. Me myself has been poisoned and is on the waiting list for a brain scan. So your best bet will be to do the same really .

Your symptoms should go away within a few days. I just got co poisoning last month and had to go to the er for treatment with forced oxygen. If your symptoms continue you should keep seeing a doctor. Long term effects of co poisoning are scary! I hate to alarm you but you should check back with your doctor. I was exposed to levels of 75ppm for an undetermined amount of time and I haven't felt right since. I passed off feeling bad as the flu. My 8yr old daughter was also positive with co poisoning and received the same treatment that I did.

And I can thank my "slumlords" for that. I had been complaining to them about my furnace from oct. 28, 2005 until the accident on dec. 12, 2005. What a shame that me and my daughter almost had to lose our lives to get the furnace fixed and have a safe living condition. What makes this even more pathetic is when the furnace initially started acting up I couldn't get in touch with the slumlords. So I call a heating and air tech to come check out the furnace and he said the furnace was filthy and needed to be thoroughly cleaned. I showed the slumlords the receipt with a detailed description of how the furnace needed to be serviced...But yet they still didn't do what was necessary to fix the problem.

I am in the process of filing a lawsuit. I don't think I will "get rich" but sometimes you gotta teach an fool a lesson. One lawyer says I will only get a few thousand for all we've gone through. Yet if we had died my family would have been stinkin' rich with a wrongful death suit.

Anyone with any good information that could be of help to me please let me know!!! If anyone has any questions please feel free to message me. I've educated myself very much on co poisoning since the accident.

And please everyone...Install a co detector in your home. They are fairly inexpensive. I would recommend a detector that detects at a low level. Mine won't go off until co levels reach 30ppm.

Alright, over a month ago I went to the er for abdominal pain. Ive had all the tests run (upper gi series, ultrasound, cat scan, ekg, and endoscopy) and all came back normal. It was a bad cramping feeling.

The abdominal pain lasted about 2 weeks, but my stomach still feels "off" and I have no appetite. About 4 days after I resumed eating, I started having flashes of dizziness or "brain fog" as I call it because I dont actually see the room spinning but I have a hard time concentrating and I feel pressure in my head. Now the "brain fog" is constant and has lasted for about 4 weeks now. I have been seeing an ent doc as well to see about an inner ear infection.

The reason I am thinking of co poisoning is because I just took my car for a check up because ive had a rattle under my car for well over a year. Well, the rattle was caused by the exhaust not being connected to my car (it had rusted apart).

Could this be possible co poisoning from repeatedy being exposed to car fumes if they got in to my car?

I was poisoned at work about 6 months ago and I had a co level of 7.5 for about 4 months straight it would let go it wouldn't go down I was and still am miserable and still have to work to take care of my kids. I blank out and all, I have continous headaches and dizziness and am also depressed and probably could never be the same person again please if you have a detector at home plug it up it simple because I am miserble since.

You have suffered from "chronic" CO poisoning, exposure to "subacute" levels of the poison -- not high doses which kill within minutes or hours. After exposure (whether on 1 day, 2 days, 3 days), in only 4-6 hours, CO moves from the bloodstream into the tissue where it continues to attack, forever, the brain, heart, lungs, and central nervous system.

It will stay there until you get on daily oxygen. The prescribed amount is 2 liters per minute, for 2 hours per day, lying prone, for four months. This continued daily oxygen therapy drives the CO out of the tissue.

If you smoke, you need to stop. Vitamin C helps substantially as well as the B vitamins. All other vitamins and herbs should be discontinued because the body produces CO naturally (it fires up/triggers the nervous system) and many of these other items can cause the body stress, and stress is a big CO producer.

You are already experiencing "long-term effects". You won't be a candidate for hyperbaric because the MDs won't find it in your bloodstream since it's already in the tissue.

I highly recommend that you contact Albert Donnay, a private consultant and a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) advisor. His nonprofit is mcsrr.org.

Most MDs do not know how to treat chronic CO poisoning, knowing only "acute" and the last symptoms on the list which are convulsions, coma and death.

For Vitamin C, the product Emergenc-C, available in any health food store, is excellent too since it has 1,000 mg of Vit C, as well as the B vitamins.

I stand corrected. The correct prescription for daily oxygen therapy for CO victims is five (5) liters per minute, for 2 hours per day, lying prone, for four months.
