Hi..
For several months/weeks on and off i have not felt well.
Always the same things. Headaches, nausea, chest pains and feeling dizzy kinda spaced out.
This as increasingly got worse to the point where i had to visit my doctor, something i dislike doing.
He did blood tests..nothing!
Said it could be stress, gave me pills..eek they made me worse!
Then said could be my inner ear but didn't really think so but gave me stemitil. They helped me cope but the symptoms didn't go away.
This is over the last month and when we chatted about this holiday it came out about me being a nail technician..His face was a picture..It was although someone had switched a light on.
My doctor is from Holland and he suddenly realised he had seen the symptoms on a few occasions before with nail technicians (some he said were a lot worse than mine too!) but not in this country!..He thinks i have solvent abuse caused by breathing in too much solvent vapors!
The scariest thing is though he doesnt know if my health problems will get better or not depending on how much damage has been done!
Before you all jump down my throat. I work very very clean and health conscious already. I go by all the rules including an extraction fan in the wall in my room and also in my desk but these obviously are NOT enough!
But what IS enough? i have searched and searched but cannot find any answers!
It means I have to stop doing nails (at least until i can find adequate extraction) and i am feeling a great sense of loss at the moment.
Am i alone with my health problems?
Is there adequete extraction available?
Please help me find the answers before i loss my client base..x
