[TMIC] Chemicals and TM

2006-08-09 Thread Kevin Wolfthal
Does anyone know if the chemicals used by exterminators, parrticularly against roaches, is more dangerous to TM'ers than to healthy peoople? Obviously no exposure to chemicals is better than any exposure, especially with a compromised immune system. I live in a high-rise condominium complex

Good morning Jill, I'm not taking anything at this time for the burning, tingling feelings. I tried Lyrica and Cymbalta and both gave severe diarrhea (uncontrollable). Both caused weight gain and I certainly don't need that. My neuro doesn't seen to think my TM is anything to worry about.

I agree. Do the bomb. The effects from the fumes do a good job in killing them nasties and then they dissipate in just a few hours, the fumes, that izz. Go for it. Some years back we did bombs for fleas as nothing else would get rid of them. We'd leave the house for a few hours and
