Hi all. I've waited many years to get myself into housing association accommodation, and now I have a beautiful flat. It's everything I've wanted.
BUT... I had my boxes in storage and some of them (before putting them in storage) were dusty and probably had mould on them.
I've moved in and while I kicked up the dust/mould I think I've cleaned it up now.
However, I'm in a crazy situation. Until I moved in I was living with a friend, no problem. Now every time I go back at night I don't feel too good. I got into bed last night determined to stay and sleep, but as soon as I was comfy I started to feel my heart thump and race.
I don't know if it's cos there's still mould in the flat or it's in me or I'm anxious about being on my own again. It was never a problem in the past as I lived on my own for years.
The only other thing I've done is use a rug doctor to clean the carpets and decorated the lounge.
I still wake up with a stuffy nose and runny eyes even when staying at a friends so I'm thinking there may still be mould in my system. The knuckles on my hands (especially my right hand) have dry and cracked skin, which if I remember wasn't there before I lifted and moved the boxes. Even putting them in my car and driving to my flat I was starting to sneeze.
I wanna go home and enjoy my new flat, but I don't seem to be able to.
Anyone else had a similar experience?
Many thanks
