My university is making my asthma worse and I don't know what to do
I go to a university in the pacific northwest with poorly designed and poorly maintained academic buildings. We're talking crappy ventilation and a noticable musty smell in certain rooms; combined with the humidity, mold is inevitable. I work on campus, and my asthma has been steadily getting worse and worse for the past year. Now my MCAS symptoms are flaring again despite that I started ketotifen and it seemed to be helping - I'm not responding to other medications that used to help anymore, my skin issues are flaring, the constant fucking itching is coming back. And it stops getting worse, and starts getting better, when I'm off campus for a few days. I know I'm very sensitive to certain types of mold - I can hunt it down by smell and my reactions sometimes - and I am absolutely certain that it's growing somewhere no one can see it in several of these buildings based on the symptoms I'm getting.
I don't know what to do. I work on campus; I'm a TA and a lab assistant. I'm three years into my degree out of five, and far enough in that other schools I've looked at discourage transferring. Moving out of the state doesn't seem like a good option because I JUST got referred to a one of the only specialty clinics in the country that could actually help me figure out the genetic dysautonomia shit going on in my family. My income and education are dependent on the university, and moving would set me back on healthcare again.
OTC antihistamines barely work on me, and the nasal sprays I typically use when it gets this bad aren't working anymore. My sinuses are swelling up to the point of externally audible wheezing every day because of this fucking campus, I have to put conscious effort into expelling the air from my lungs, I feel constantly starved for air and it just keeps getting worse when I'm on campus. I like the program I'm in, but it's getting so bad that I can't finish my work and keep up with classes. I don't know what to do. How the fuck do you deal with it when you're having allergic reactions to the buildings you work in? I wear a KN95 mask daily on campus (because I don't want COVID or any of the other respiratory viruses that able-bodied college students love to constantly spread around with zero regard for other people), and that clearly isn't helping with all the sinus swelling and allergy stuff presumably related to mold.
I'm on ketotifen and gastrocrom; I take cetirizine and sometimes four other types of antihistamine daily; I'm on advair and I have an albuterol rescue inhaler and I've STILL seriously considered going to the ER twice in the last two days because I couldn't get the wheezing reasonably well managed. I don't know what to do. I'm pretty sure it's mold in the academic buildings making me sick, and I don't have the kind of access, rights, or resources to hunt down and eliminate the mold.
