I am quite ill – - trouble is my illness is chronic (related to asthma/chronic infections) and caused me to miss about 5 days in the last 6 months. My job is very competitive. I’m worried about being “fazed out” if I give the impression I can’t get it together. But this is just a rough year – most of the time I’m not this sick. Still, I need to stay home today. I’m due in from 12PM-9PM. How do I approach my boss? A) Go in and tell him in person I’m sick and need to go home B) Call him on his cell C) Another approach…
** Boss does know and illness is quite documented. All of his bosses know too. Boss has been very supportive, but work is work and I know I’m being looked at as a problem…

I just bought a condo and I am having a lot of trouble with cigarette smoke from the units of other residents getting in to my unit. I am trying to figure out whether it is being drawn in to the air system in my unit through cracks under the door, etc. or whether it is getting into the air system in my unit through air that is shared by common elements of system. Does anyone know how I can find out which it is?

other info -
*The condos have a common stairwell that smells like smoke a lot of times
*There is an intake with filter in my unit that is quite near the door to the common stairwell
*The condo association decides when to switch between heat and cold for the whole building, so obviously there is some shared element to the system.

I will very much appreciate any advice anyone might have. I have asthma and the smoke is really causing problems for me.

Thanks!

This coworker is constantly complaining about everybody we work with especially our directors. She puts you in misery with this constant nitpicking. She also makes snide stupid comments like”Asthma is all in a persons head”. I have asthma. I was put in the hospital in 1998 cause I had a kidney stone that had infected my blood & she said that cant happen. I had severe hives one time from an allergic reaction & was going into anaphlactic shock & she said that cant happen. She just absolutely has everyone even her own family that cant stand to be around her. Her family wont come around her. The directors has talked to her on several occasions & nothing works. What could I do about this situation? I really love working there & everyone but her are very pleasant to be around. Thers no where to go to get away from her cause I work in the same department. Any good advice would be appreciated.

My doctor was treating me for an upper respiratory virus but even after taking the Zpack, I am still having episodes of breathlessness.
I haven’t yet approached my doc about other causes.

I know that the only son thing is not in play anymore, but they do put people into non-combat zones for health reasons if they do get drafted.

I am flat-footed and I have Exercise Induced Asthma; would that cause me to be placed into a non-combat zone? (If I were to get drafted)

How many pregnant people have pet dogs? Were your babies healthy? I heard dogs can cause asthma and allergy to your unborn. Also, my dog always jump on my stomach when I’m on the couch. Is it safe to be pregnant and having a dog as pet? Please share your experience and knowledge with me. Thanks.
By the way, its a 6month old english bulldog.

Just to clarify things, I did not use bleach on my daughter but I did used it in her clothes doing laundry. With bleach it traps into the clothing and soaks into the skin, which was causing really bad eczema. Using mild soaps and lotions does not get rid of eczema it just stabilizes it. Also, I was using bleach and other household cleansers to clean and disinfect which my daughter was inhaling and causing the asthma attacks. I am not telling you this to get money but Im telling you because I was not smart enough to find out for myself. Someone helped me and I’m just trying to help you. The products can only be purchase through a catalog, just like I had to purchase and it’s pricey if you’re not a preferred customer. There are alot of people responding to this just because of the topic but if you child really has eczema or asthma please e-mail me at wisdom_women.com
