heart breaking story, posting for a friend. can we help her ? please ?

Anne, if you're there, I'm sorry! I needed to go scream, well cry, but I'm good. Breathing is fine too.... I live on the eighth floor, so thar fact I'm still posting talking to maybe myself, well its a good sign... Eight stories is high enough! Did u ever see the end? With Burt Reynolds? Dom deluise testing to see if the ledge was high enough to die, if u jump. Burt things he's dying, so gets Dom to help him kill himself. So they find a spot, outside the mental hospital their both in. Burt says its not high enough, so Dom, saying it is, jumps off hits the ground, Burt looks down and doms. Lying there, lifts his head and says to Burt, you where right, its not high enough.. mean while he broke his back in the process. Its an old movie, but so funny... 1980 I think, or about that... So I got my blue light, looked and see nothing! Just finally ate something, forgot I hadn't eaten, so I'm good..... Sure wish I had bought a beach chair though. With bora bora, you'd think I would have one... Could have used that..... Deb.

[debra]

Yup, so sorry, typos.... It's me after all..... Deb.

So you think these are bedbugs in your apartment? The whole place sounds very unhealthful, especially for a sick person. Someone awhile back mentioned a social worker, maybe there's someone like that, an advocate for the low income, who'd find you a better, cleaner place to live, maybe subsidized. My brother, who has some mental health problems, lives in one of those. Here, places like that are not in old high-rise buildings but in newer, more pleasant, less urban areas, usually about two levels, with little balconies and patios and a place to plant a few things. At least that's what I'm imagining, as I haven't been to my brother's place, but have been to some low income apartments elsewhere. I think you deserve better than being stuck 8 floors high in some seedy bedbug infested building. I don't know what to say. i wish I could be there and help you find something. With love, Anne, getting sleepy enough to drop off.... XXOO

Deb, (I didnt yet got the pic), if it is "symetrical" like in both hands then its not any creature biting you, but wg rash. I really think its time to go to the hospital in Boston, to the ER: to see what all the spots on the skin are, to do all tests at once and see all specialists fast and at the same place. Also to start treatment asap. AND if you do have bugs, you will be AWAY from them.
Just look at Birdie, giving us all an example of THE responsible adult, going straight to ER when he doesnt feel well, getting treatment and recovering (are you, Birdie ?)
Alysia, worried about Deb... Maybe Anne can find the way to send stubborn Deb to the hospital ?

If I didn't live 3,000 miles away, I'd take her there myself! It is hard to imagine there is no one there to do so. Preferably to Boston, of course! But she is right down the road from the local ER, and those things on her hands could be biopsied at that hospital for evidence of WG. I can't imagine there is no decent pathologist in Nashua, NH. My dad was a pathologist, maybe he would be watching from above. Of course she SHOULD go to BOSTON, we all know that. ASAP.

Yes Mom, uhm, Alysia... I'm doing fine. The ER got rid of the chest pain and great balls of snot in my lungs, instead of it getting much worse by monday. Still have some sinus snot issues but not as bad and getting better.

I guess Deb has to wait until monday to contact the landlord about bugs, or harmfull stuff in the vents. The ER is open now and has been for the last three years, 24/7. People got fired at that ER because of Deb, they are still out of work because she wouldn't use the services they provide, sitting around bored just waiting for her to come in... you'd think that after three years she could show some compassion, finally give them something to do. Call first Deb, so they can turn on the lights and dust off the equipment. But get your ass down there... end of the street, sheesh...

[Alysia]

I saw the pictures. It does look like bites with allergic reaction around. Deb, go to the ER and tell the landlord that you will sue him for that... isnt that the way in America, to sue about every thing ?

[annekat]

And the guy in the church had them, too. Doesn't live in the same building, I assume. An epidemic of weird, huge bug bites in Nashua, NH? Sounds more and more like a Stephen King story. Not to make light of it. Should be looked at. At least get some OTC cream to treat it, hydrocortisone, aloe vera, calamine, or anything, if you think it is bug bites. Then sue the landlord.

[debra]

Sue for everything, ya got that right Alysia! I'm not like this, God knows I have had many times to do just that.... Anne, this building was fine. Then they let stupid people in... I don't care to be in a highrise, just want stupid people, to learn to not be stupid? You need to inspect you're stuff, even new stuff! These people are like brain dead zombies... Very careless, and one apple spoils the whole bunch. That apple lived next door... May she rest in peace. Shirly was very sweet, just not very bright.... She brought em in, and in turn the whole floor, minus just me, and one other. The whole damn floor! This was down below floor problem even before, but eighth floor never had a problem see lower floors are even worse in terms of intelligence..... Shirley must have hooked up, with a dude down below.... Birdie, how are you feeling my friend? Hey Anne, I've had a granuloma that protrudes out of my hand, and I can't even get this biopsied. You all just don't believe me, when I say its bad. Like being in the twilight zone, better than the combat zone I guess.... Thans, guys. I do appreciate it, a lot..... Deb, with love, lounging on my beach chair, just got it, in bora bora, free from the dog and the bugs......
