Axonal polyneuropathy from high chlorine pool exposure.

Posted by barbarapp @barbarapp, Apr 7 8:32pm

Hi. Does anyone else have axonal polyneuropathy from a high chlorine pool exposure...saw white plume (unmixed chemicals) near where I was swimming. My toxic pool accident was 1 year 8 months ago. I also have a lesion in my corpus calloseum. Bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome, using hands hurts, chronic throat phlegm, trouble swallowing, eye blurriness/tearing, recurring uti's, chronic foot pain 24/7. Every step I take hurts. Symptoms began night of shocked pool exposure. A rare chlorine pool poisoning. Thanks!

Can't answer your question specifically...but I have wondered about the impact of breathing in the chlorine pools long term. For ten years I did aqua aerobics in a pool in Florida 3 x week. The chlorine always ate up the swim suits and often was so strong that it made my eyes water. I would sometimes wear glasses to keep my eyes from watering.
Two years later I was diagnosed with lung cancer. And CT Scans also show a lot of scaring on the lungs and I don't know where that could have come from. I have never been exposed to chemicals.

Hi. There is evidence that high chlorine exposure can cause lung damage I think. Will check tomorrow. Good night
and thanks.
