I got hit at work with Isocyanate Fumes.<\/p>\n

\"chemical\"<\/p>\n

Pretty bad. I had to paint an 11 story elevator shaft for two days. End of the second day I got home & coughed violently for five hours. Deep coughing like whooping cough & Bronchitis combined.<\/p>\n

I worked for a further month with some trepidation & finally quit 3 weeks back hoping for any symptoms to disappear with cessation of contact with the chemicals.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately last week I came down with the worst bronchitis I have had in 30 years when I used to chain smoke reefer as a teen.<\/p>\n

I have been coughing up stuff like yoghurt. Coughing in violent uncontrollable fits. <\/p>\n

I am poisoned.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"poison\"<\/p>\n

Basically for isocyanate poisoning there is no medical cure or antidote. Remember the Bhopal disater of the 80’s?<\/p>\n

That was Isocyanate – killed thousands. I could have died too or at least ended up in A&E had I worked another day with this stuff.<\/p>\n

I now have only two options.<\/p>\n

1. Hardcore detoxification. Fortunately the shit is stored in body fat & can be removed via sauna therapy & heavy sweating.<\/p>\n

2. Intensive Pulmonary Rehabilitation. Running, breathing training, lung expansion. To the max.<\/p>\n

That’s all I can do – train & rehab my ass off. I am as sick as fuck right now & frankly a bit scared that this may not go away.<\/p>\n

The only silver lining is that if I can rehabilitate from this & come right in 2-3 months I will become a much better cardio-vascular athlete in the process.<\/p>\n

That which does not kill me – makes me stronger!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
