So, in the past year or so, I've come up with some mysterious illnesses - low testosterone and iron deficient anemia along with severe exhaustion, headaches and fatigue. Well, I finally called the gas co. becuase my sister said everytime she came over to my apt. she could smell gas. So they (the gas co.) came over and found out that my oven in my apt. had been leaking a SUBSTANTIAL amount of methane gas. He said "normal" amounts were between 1-100 and the reading he got was 340!!!!! So, due to my landlord's incompetence as fas as checking all gas appliances every year, I've been slowly poisioned since living here - over 2 years!!! I talked to my general doc today about it and she said it could have been causing all of the symptoms I decribed above. I'm SOOOO mad that my landlords have never checked for leaks, etc. So now I wonder how much of my depression, fatigue, etc was caused by the methane leaking into my apt.!!!!!!!
I wonder if that's why I've not responded well to other meds - besides the Nardil. For example -I was, at one time, on 80 mg of Dexedrine (amphetamine) and I would still be so fatigue and exhausted that I'd sleep ALL weeekend as if I were in a coma.
I've thought of legal action - anyone ever have anything similar happen??
