Re: completely OT - asthma and ozone update

Karen, that was just so scary. I didn't climb in to the asthma / ozone
discussion since I don't know diddly about either - but it was clear enough
that you were in big trouble. How wonderful that our 'wise in many things'
group was quick and equipped to come to your rescue. I see that your asthma
post was dated Aug 22nd - only 5 days ago. It seems to me that you will get
better and better and for that we are profoundly grateful. Polly

I am improving, blue lips are now only occasionally mottled throughout
the
day, and I can think more clearly, am not so tired always, chest pains
gone,
breathing better, etc. Which air filter did I finally decide on?
NONE!!!
Yep. See, DH was out of town when I started to collapse and couldn't
think
straight, so I reached out to you. I was confused, and your well-meant
and
good advice was confusing to me. But someone, I don't remember who, just
straight out said - Go turn that ozone machine off! So I did. I started
to
do better the next day.

Brains don't work very well without oxygen, do they?

I've been anaesthetized a few times and the effect of the fug lifting
when they resuscitated me with oxygen was pretty dramatic, so I can
identify with that.

There is one *brilliant* book about it: "Alone", by Admiral Richard
Byrd. You wouldn't expect acute psychological insight from a naval
officer/explorer, but his description of surviving with his brains
scrambled for several weeks is just incredible. He was living in a
cave house carved out of the Antarctic ice, with a diesel generator
that was slowly poisoning him with carbon monoxide. As a result of
the poisoning, he didn't have the strength to fix it, couldn't
survive without it, and just had to carry on as it made him weaker
and weaker and more and more incoherent.
