Fatigue - Caused by my home environment?

Posted by bobbiekc @bobbiekc, Feb 18, 2023

Dealing with fatigue, lack of energy for the past 2-3months. All testing ( blood, heart, stress, etc) are all negative. No answers for my condition. What did surprise me is that I went to some ones home for 10 days and felt 85% better. Now I believe my symptoms are related to my home. Within 24 hours of returning home all symptoms returned. I had the house checked for natural gas leak and CO2-. My house is only 12 years old and I have lived here for 9 years. Any advise, suggestions would be helpful as do not know what to do.

Hello @bobbiekc, That must be troubling coming home and having your symptoms return after feeling better for 10 days when you were away. I've read about mold and other toxins that can cause health problems but haven't heard about fatigue symptoms. I did find this article that may provide some ideas to see if they help.

One thing that amazed me was when we had the ducting in the house cleaned after 20 years. I couldn't believe how much dirt came out of the furnace and air ducts. Have you had the ducts cleaned?
