I have bad sinus issues all the time :( my girlfriend had a span of those air fresheners a couple years ago. They are evil. They made my eyes sting and go bloodshot red. I don't know why people want to fill their rooms full of chemicals and breath it all in anyway :roll:

It's my pet hate. I've made a decision not to go in my parent's house again. My health is important to me. I 100% think that was the cause because the reaction was instant. Turned my cat sitting into a horrible time. I found a scientific american article saying those things can cause nerve damage and cancer! Things are supposed to smell of the item they are. :lol: Open the windows!

I don't know when this will go away. 9 days of headaches and counting. It'll annoy my Mum but I need to protect my health so I can do things and feel good.

Wow, guys. Some serious issues here. The mystery of uncommon/rare illnesses, eh?

You mean like solder fumes? :lol: :hide:

Seriously though, I do the opposite... I have an air purifier in the bedroom, so at least we can get a good nights sleep without waking up with a sore throat all the time. You should try one.

Anyhow @Cosmic Puppet , I'm not sure if going to some East Scottish remote area will help. There's always something nasty close by.

I remember looking at a map of nuclear fallout from Chernobyl. Most of it ended up nearby or in neighbouring countries, but there was some fallout in Wales too. :o

As for uncommon illnesses, I recently had some sort of lock jaw symptoms. I couldn't open my mouth at all without being in pain. Initially, in the first few days, I was talking like Ozzy Osbourne.

Its slowly wearing off, but I still can't fully open it like I used to. (Was a bit embarrassing going out for an Indian meal and having the fork load of food just get pushed off the fork going in my mouth and falling on the plate again, splashing the sauce onto my expensive white t-shirt).

Now for the interesting part... this has never ever manifested until about a week after getting the COVID jab. :shock:

God you made me laugh with this comment. :lol:

Yeah, I try and sleep with the windows open as much as possible.

Yeah, there's an oil complex in Dundee, but generally the Tay wafts the pollution away into the Sea.

Maybe eventually move further up north where it's cooler.

I've had the jabs too and I just can't know how much that has changed me. It is a risk. I'll never know if this has contributed, but evenually problems will come to light from all the referrals. I rang our surgery 30 seconds after opening time and it said "You are 22nd in the queue" so I get the feeling there's a lot of sick people.

There's an outdoor swimming spot here. I'm gonna go see if that helps on Tuesday.

Finally got 'round to testing EmuTOS 1.1.1

Kandinsky Music Painter now crashes on exit and gives the following message.


I'm using emutosus.prg running from an ultrasatan

I tried emailing this and failed due to large message size. (not even sure if pictures can be sent)

Had a month of headaches so I'm completely lost on how to properly proceed.

I don't seem to understand what some find easy.

My EmuTOS 1.0.1 works great for now. Would just be a shame if I couldn't continue with the developments.

I would just post to the emutos list without images and just link to this thread.

Thanks @exxos I'll try that now. 8-)

As a kid I had to drink iodine solution to prevent absorbing radioactive iodine from Chernobyl fallout.
I still remember taste of it!

You can post images there, but they are limited in size (100k IIRC, after conversion to base64). But Roger can approve them nevertheless, just might take a while.

See I don't even know what any of the stuff in brackets means :lol:

I tried reducing the image in photoshop, but when I got under 100k it was artifacting so much as to be illegible.

I risk bringing on another migraine just contemplating all this. I've gotta laugh. :lol:
