Hi..thanks for your comment and questions...we renovating our house in several different ways..at the moment i am patching and fixing the old lath and plaster walls and the wainscotting we found under the hideous panelling from the 60's. the drywall compound i am using is CGC Drywall Compound Ready to Use...made by CGC Inc in Mississauga. I do try to remember to wear my mask...a N95 Particulate mask. I would assume that some of the old plaster has horsehair in it..that the old paint is probably lead based and the many layers of wallpaper are made of who knows what. I have also been using latex caulking and low expansion foam..latex paint...oil based conversion primer..mdf mouldings and pine mouldings. most of the reno has been ongoing since october..the outside of the house is being reconstructed too..with soil being dug up..new concrete poured and porches built..new steel roofs and more. I was fine all winter uhtil that day going outside and getting covered in hives...my pharmacist wonders about sun sensitivity..idiopathic or medication based..but he doesn't see my meds having tha as a side effect. the only one he thought might be an issue is the ramipril..even though i was on the smallest dose he dispenses..i have stopped that one now. This is a mystery to me..hopefully my doctor will listen and do something on Monday..and i will for sure let you know what he says...i know what i am going to say and that is that i am not happy that after being in emergency he did not feel it urgent or necessary to see me or renew the prednisone which is what was keeping my throat open..i am quite upset and he is going to know it..politely of course...the more i read about it on the interweb the more i am convinced that this is relatively serious for my overall health and i would change doctores except i live in a place where there are not many and few are accepting patients....talk to you soon...and thank you for your concern..
