I have been doing nails for 4 years now ... I have never been good about wearing a mask while doing any sort of nail service... though I do use my valentino while i file, or when im doing L&P.... NOW i've come to a horrible conclusion that I have developed an allergy to liquid monomer.
WHY NOW? I recently started taking an anti depressant, the doctor who prescribed it said to take at least two weeks off while starting as I will be very tired and feel under the weather. Me, being the crazy entrepreneur that I am, and because I work at home for myself, did not take the time off. I am now 8 weeks into taking the medication and I dont feel tired any longer, but I am left with a HORRIFIC sinus irritation... I have taken antibiotics for a sinus infection and no difference.
What lead me to believe it was the L&P was that when i took multiple days off of doing nails, i started to get better, then thinking i was OK, I went back to work, and got worse again. The past 2-3 weeks I have drastically reduced the number of clients and days I work and I am feeling much better... Still at this point not sure what I can do other then becoming a gel only nail tech...
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU OR ANYONE YOU KNOW HAS HAD SIMILAR ISSUES/ HAVE ANY ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO.
p.s I've promised to wear a mask starting tomorrow... for some protection, though if an allergy to the airborne chemical i may not find a difference.
THANK YOU FOR ANY ANSWERS
