here for the last two weeks i've been sick. well working my boss decided to switch cleaner we use. so he mixed bleach, dawn, tide and this other stuff together. yeah..
well i told him the first day that it was bothering my chest, it was a waste of time for real.
well i started to get these coughing spells, it got to the point where i wasn't sleeping because i would wake up choking and this would happen through the day.
so finally i went to the doctors, and he told me it was from my smart boss mixing all that stuff together and me inhaling it. and it's like you cant but to help too since we do powerwashing.
well things gotten worst for me to where i lost my voice from coughing. so i ended going back to the doctor again. he told me my lungs and chest was clearn and it has to be from chemicals we were using and wanted me to take off work to give my chest time to heal.
well i heard how i am suppose to work anyhow from my dad and my brother whos my boss. i was like no doctor told me not. and what i make a day isnt worth me not being able to breath.
but it seem anytime something happen to me i hear i am not suppose to take time and heal. i am suppose to keep working.
and when i was told i got a weight restriction due trouble my spin from my head to my lower back. and if i put too much stree or hurt my neck i am looking at an operation on it. and even face being cripple. but i keep hearing i should be able to pick up the mechines and do this and that if i am careful and the doctors are wrong and they dont know what they are talking about
do you have people tell you some stuips things like this, and do it feel like they aren't really worry about you will being ?

hello! I suggest that you discuss your health condition with your boss. The chemicals you are using are irritating your lungs and eventually compromise your health. Before things could get worst, please talk to your boss about your concerns and be able to suggest any tasks you still are competent to do without sacrificing your health. If you just keep it to yourself,then you might just be spending your hard earned cash for health care. Getting sick is very expensive! I may not know you personally but I understand your situation and worry for you. Please talk to your boss asap. Best of health for you! Happy mylotting!

Mixing all those different cleaning products is bound to be risky! You are lucky that you did not get even sicker. If there were amonia in any of them, well...that would be deadly. Sounds to me like it is time to look for a new job....easier said than done, I know.

i think you better to talk with new doctor and your boss again.
Don't be hesitant, your health is most important.
Personally i have not met things like that, but i really heard someone who were around me had similar experience. It's really annoying and frustrated.

No offense, but your brother needs a good swift kick in the butt! Please don't put yourself at risk because your brother doesn't seem to be concerned about your health issues. It seems to me that he has the 'if it doesn't bother me, it can't bother him' mentality. And your back! I have had back problems since I was 13 years old. Trust me when I say that if you aren't careful it will plague you for the rest of your life allthough I think you may already know that.
What are the possibilities of you finding a different job?
Family or not, if you have the ability to find employment somewhere else you should do it. My lungs are hurting just thinking of this...
I'm pulling for you syankee, I hope this all works out for you. Keep us posted!
