((((((JenStar))))) thank you for being my friend.
i just got up for work and i only have a few minutes but thanks so much for being concerned and trying to brainstornm and help with the pain problem- i see the new Dr after work today.BTW, i didn't drive home with the suit on- it's a disposable plastic backed paper suit that's waterproof. i took it off as soon as i finished the job and had my regular clothes underneath that were wet with a fungicide called 'Subdue'.
There isn't a shower at work- It's an older facility and they plan to put them in. If i was thinking and didn't panic i could have rinsed at least with one of the hoses in another greenhouse that wasn't just used to apply. They plan to build showers at work- that is a problem they know about. i did report it to my boss, i co-worker was there at the time and afterwards my boss said that i could have took my clothes off and put on another suit.
My boss knows about the bone marrow problem and the pain but it's not clearly known if this was all a result of the accident. It's kind of impossible to know, i think. i didn't goes to the work clinic about it- the blood problem- a small "M-protein' spike was found by my dr when i went because of the severe pain that started a few months later.
Anywyas, i don't know what is causing the bad pain- i can't believe that the reason isn't known after all the tests and surgery i had. i told the drs about the fungicide, they cited as a possibility but there were no definate thoughts about it from any dr.
i tried to find out whether there were other types
of problems with people being injured by spilling it on them but there really is no data base or anywhere to find that kind of information that i've been able to find.Anyways i hope that the dr i see today with help with the pain relief so i can continue to work and not have to be in terrible pain. i don't apply chemicals anymore at work since the health problems started and i want to keep working if i can. i love my job.
Thanks for asking about it, JenStar. Maybe someone else has some knowledge about where i can find information about the chemicals and nerve damage. i still don't know if there's a connection- it also could be an injury- a nerve entrapment that i read about because of backpacking with a heavy load near the time that the pain started. i kept falling backwards with the heaviness of my pack.
Take care.
Have a good day :)
