We saw many of my symptoms once you get into the article. Very informative.
The fight of small group of people in Northern Michigan against the oil and gas industry. All we want is it done safely and know the health hazards! Ah, the dreaded pink tape. Just two women who health has been so drastically changed since 2003 fighting the big boys and educating those who want to be educated and even those who don't.

Health of the Oil and Gas
I just found out yesterday that two people I knew in Lewiston have died. More death. All around my age, 52 or younger. One even moved away from Lewiston but once you live by a "bad" well, you fate has been sealed eventually and that is so sad.
We have to keep harping about the health issues or any education about what this industry has done to our (and will do ) countryside and cities. My "tourist town" is no longer. It is an Oil and Gas town. I can't go near there for the chemicals but my sources still trapped there see it. People want that money or as my friends, they don't have the money to get out. Who can sell their homes in my area of Michigan, not many. I was lucky, I got out before things seemed to not be selling. I lost money but I would be dead if I hadn't left. That's a fact.
Educate, Educate, look at your surroundings and just keep learning from what others have gong through.
We have a death list, when we had a documentary made and then the documentarist disappeared but strangly is My Space friend, and it is so large. THOSE IN OTHER STATES THINKING ABOUT LETTING GAS AND OIL IN. THEY LIE AND WHAT WILL "ALL THAT MONEY" SHOW YOU WHEN YOU ARE TOO SICK TO ENJOY IT. Unfortunately, I lost everything, my family turned their back on me and live a life of poverty. It wasn't supposed to be this way.
I've been told I am tough. When you are fighting to live life as long as possible then I guess I am tough. Some days I just want to throw in the towel as people around Northern Michigan aren't ones to want to hear what is going on. That is getting better but it is too late for some. I try and stay positive so on a positive note, go up to a stranger and see how they feel.
I feel strongly that by just telling out stories, people have to see something isn't right. Being high on the health affects as I am so affected, I had another chemically related reaction. I have been so chemically injured that breathing something as mild as lavender essential oil can cause my muscles to freeze up and unable to move. I had gotten bursitis in my knees because my new husband is remodeling the house to make it safe for me to live in it. I had my mask on as he was putting a door into an addition. I reacted to the blown in paper insulation that was between the buildings. I immediately couldn't walk.
The pain was so severe that after 3 days I had to do something. My arthritis dr. had to inject steriods into my knees that had never been done before. I knew I would react to the Lidocaine because I had before. But the pain was so severe I wanted relief.(We try alot of natural remedies first) I wasn't out the door when all my muscles froze up and my husband drove us very quickly as we lived an hour away. I had what I needed at home to correct the reaction but it was a long hour home.
THIS MAKES ME FURIOUS THAT THIS INDUSTRY HAS DONE THIS TO MY IMMUNE SYSTEM AND SO MANY OTHERS, MOST DON'T EVEN REALIZE WHY THEY ARE "SICK".
I had gone to a Naturapath Dr. recently and left the results on the blog but forgot to mention how she came up with all the metal count in my body. Will have to email that because I can't reach it at the moment.
Long story, sorry, but some days are even longer.....Thanks to this group and those making documentaries and talking to people. Keep up the good work for those in this nightmare of a "fight".

CONGRESSMAN STUPAK!
FROM MICHIGAN
OMG!!! I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM CONGRESSMAN STUPAK'S OFFICE FOR A TELECONFERENCE TOWN HALL MEETING. I WAS THE FIRST TO ASK A QUESTION AND I WENT FOR THE JUGULAR.
I asked what was his position on the EPA putting more regulations on Hydrogen Sulfide Or H2S. He said paraphrased that H2S was a dangerous, deadly chemical and if the EPA wanted to regulate it then they should. There were people in Manistee that were overcome by a cloud of Hydrogen Sulfide and couldn't breathe. It is a problem in Michigan. The Michigan DEQ is not doing it's job in regulating this industry and this is a health concern. - I told him who I was and I know that he knew who I was. Oh I was so excited to get word out about H2S on a national level.
OMG!!! The teleconference when on for an hour and heard mostly questions about health care but I got ours in first!

Finally Health affects Noticed
As I have been cruising the Blogs and different links that have to do with the oil and gas industry I have noticed that more notice is given to the health affects of this industry.
We have been preaching and preaching about the health affects until finally people are noticing. There are so many bad affects of this industry that people dying or being very ill just wasn't noticed. There is just SO MUCH it is overwhelming. From the pollution factor and environmental nightmares that what it actually did to some people was over looked or ignored.
Thank you for noticing and bringing it to the forefront. So many people are ill and don't know why. Here's a clue...what do you live around?. Always look what is around you and how is the water? As a friend told me if you want to know if there is Hydrogen Sulfide, for example, in the air (higher concentrations you can't smell that rotten egg smell) put a brand new copper penny on the ground where you think contamination may be. In 24 hours go back and if that penny has changed colors H2S is in the area. Such a simple thing to do, who would have thought.....
