Allergic to homes/apartments
I've had issues being allergic to my last apartment and now my current apartment. I was also allergic to another prior apartment that I had to move out of because my symptoms were so severe.
My last apartment was a 1 bedroom and I lived alone. However it was kinda like one big circle so it was pretty small. I was allergic ever since I moved into it and lived there for 3 years. My doctor put me on a histamine blocker to help mitigate my symptoms and it helped significantly.
I've since moved in with roommates. Ever since we moved in, I've been allergic to the living room. I'm also allergic to one of my roommates rooms that I would like to hang out in. Said roommate bought a HEPA purifier for their room and doesn't have any fragrances or anything I'm obviously allergic to.
As for the living room, I have no idea what I'm allergic to in it as there isn't much in the room. I'm not allergic to the kitchen or the laundry room, which are both downstairs. The living room and kitchen lead into each other so it's strange I'm not allergic to the kitchen. I'm also not allergic to my room. We do have a HEPA purifier in the living room and I have one in my room as well.
I'm allergic to pine, cedar, latex, rose, adhesives, and dust/mites. The entire home has carpet except for the kitchen. There is no central air but there is a wall ac/heat unit in the living room.
At the new place, they had put down new carpet and carpet padding prior to us moving in and painted the walls. It's my understanding latex paint doesn't use actual rubber latex so I shouldn't be having a reaction to that. My room is also painted with the same paint and I'm not allergic to it.
It's incredibly frustrating to be stuck in a home when I'm allergic to it. And I generally don't know until I spend a sufficient amount of time in the home so it's a gamble whenever I move. I have lived in 3 other homes where I didn't have allergic reactions.
My most prominent and debilitating symptoms are fatigue, severe brain fog, and swelling.
