IT IS WHAT IT IS.....
Well, I had a chest XRay done at my six month physical on Wednesday. I've had this bad cough from being sick about 5 weeks ago. It just won't go away. They called me today and said that I have EMPHYSEMA. I do not smoke and nobody in my home smokes and I cannot stand to be around smokers. My hubby and I were trying to figure out where I got this disease from?! Then it dawned on me. I've been using GHSP to paint my reborn dolls for 10 years and using a portable oven to bake them in. Everytime I open that oven door the fumes leap out at me and I try to hold my breath, but, I guess that didn't work. I have now retired from making these babies, but, now I'm not even going to make a custom every now and then. I'm so done as I do not want this disease to get any worse.....
Just a heads up! That's why I'm posting this under GENERAL DOLLY DISCUSSIONS!

I don't really "love" it anymore, Cyndi. After losing my only sibling, my dear sister I have lost my love for this art form.
Time to move onto doing something else for awhile.

Re: IT IS WHAT IT IS.....
So sorry to hear that you're ill. And scary to think it was from something as innocent as reborning. I hope you can be treated and will feel better.

Oh Jacquelyn! I am so sorry. My aunt had emphysema but she did smoke. I, too, will be praying that it doesn't worsen. {{hugs}}

I am so sorry to hear this! I pray that the medications will help alleviate the cough. Bless you! Life always throws us curve balls when we least expect. Thank you for my beautiful baby -- so sad that she was part of what caused this. Feel better soon!
Re: IT IS WHAT IT IS.....
I am so sorry to hear this Jacque. YOu will be in my prayers that meds help!!
you know my husband said to me "you have had this cough for over 6 months now, when is it going to stop?" but its not bad and mainly when I sleep.. I think its just allergies.. however, I think I will put my Nuwave oven outside when baking my dolls from now on. and paint with an window open!!!!!
