For the life of me , I cannot figure out why anyone would come onto this , or any other RV related forum asking for medical assistance with those types of symptoms . . ?????????????????????????????????????????????


Some folks think the world of online forums.

In another time and place..... I am a moderator in a medical forum.
(Not related to this topic I might add, we are a specific condition forum though we do handle some general questions) Though I am not a doctor, I do not even play one on TV.. Some doctors do get to read an article I wrote as part of their training.. Which is kind of scary when you figure I'm much closer to an electronics engineer/general engineer than Doctor (it was a technical translation piece, I translated some "high Medical" into "Dock Worker")

So I'm used to seeing medical questions I can not answer save to say "Get Ye To A Doctor".
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

Several suspects including:
Stress: (in fact I once had almost those exact same symptoms from Stress)
Formaldehyde Common in new RV's it can be a problem in older ones as well but in a 8 year old I think it should have aired out by now

Someone suggested CO (yup that can do it) so can some molds and things that are common in motor homes.

Finally we have the "Other causes not related to the RV"

A good Doctor is #1, And then have an environmentalist check out the RV. Where to find one of those I do not know. Kind of out of my field.

Well, he does have his own web page( content of which is kind of different), if you google his user name. If he is hypersensitive, to environmental stuff, could be something in the RV. Or could have something very different. No way to know. Hope it works out.

May not be a troll at all

Yup. So sick he can still sit at a computer and type. Won't go to the doc because he has no money but has an RV AND a computer. AND it's his first post.

Y'all got suckered.


Don't be so quick to judge, man. Haha. I've seen some very similar, not in nature, but in mentality, very serious posts on here.
If he is serious, I hope the ole boy is ok.
If he's paking his rig at a friends house, seems plausible to stay out of the rv for a couple days, and see if the mystery ailment clears up.
Or it could just be that d@mn milk bottle plastic......

Then I guess it's better to ask strangers because he can't afford a doctor anyway. You told him to go to a doctor.

I agree. Calling a doctor's visit a 'circle jerk' did it for me.

3/4 timing in a DIY van conversion. Backroads, mountains, boondocking, sometimes big cities for a change of pace.

Maybe he needs tax advice too.
