I Bought A Home On Dec. 31, 2011, But I

I bought a home on Dec. 31, 2011, but I had a lease on an apt. until April 1, 2012. I came and went from that home on a regular basis to clean and do other things. I hired painters to paint my home prior to moving in. The painters had begun to paint approx. 3 weeks prior to me moving in. They had approx. 3600 sq ft total to paint, but and they had painted many areas the wrong colors and would need to paint these rooms for a second time. On March 28, I went to the home to make sure that the painters were continuing to paint. While there, I noticed paint drippings on my hardwood floors. I was unable to remove them by scrubbing them off, I scraped one of the paint drippings with my thumbnail, which then had lodged underneath that nail and had become infected. I woke up the next morning, March 29th, with a painful, throbbing thumb, with streaking down the thumb to the wrist. I made an appt. with my PCP. She prescribed SMZ/TMP. I do not remember the pain, redness or streaking dissipating any. I began sleeping in the home on March 28th or 29th. I then had my closet repainted the morning of April 1st. The night of April 1st, into April 2nd, I spent many hours putting items away in a closet that measures approx. 8 x 8 or more. The closet was unventilated and the closet door closed. At 2:00 a.m., April 2nd, a family member came into my closet and insisted that I go to bed. I replied that I would go to bed in approx. 15 minutes. At 2:10 a.m., my family member came back in to my closet, noticed that I was nude, lying on the floor, I could not stand, I was incoherent with garbled speech and labored breathing. He phoned the paramedics and they had rushed me to the hospital. I had been intubated almost immediately. My family was told that I went into acute respiratory failure and that one of my kidneys had failed, then the other shortly after. An ER nurse accused one of my family members of poisoning me with ethylene glycol. The nurse told my family that the SMZ/TMP that I was on was not a good choice of medications for me due to the many allergies I had and because I had suffered from asthma. They took me off that med. immediately. Later, I had the paint tested, because, prior to this, I had gone in to anaphylactic shock due to painting with latex paint. Many months later, I noticed that there had been six gallons of paint, out of 64 gallons, that contained latex. I had a clerk get me all 64 gallons and I made it clear that there had better not be any that contained latex. When I saw that six gallons did contain latex, after being out of the hospital for many months, I had the paint tested by a chemist. The results came back and I was told that the paint contained a pretty high content of ethylene glycol. My question to you, doc, is this; do you believe I had been poisoned by the ethylene glycol by inhaling large amounts of ethyl. gly. along with the infected thumb, or do you believe that the SMZ/TMP got me sick since the side effects include difficulty breathing and can include renal failure, or do you feel it was something else entirely? I hope this wasn't too confusing for you. I do not have any labs here to relay to you, so that may make a diagnosis very difficult, but I also do not think the workers at the hosp. knew to much because I had been given two or three diagnoses before I left the hospital. I would like to thank you for your time. If I need to pay for this information, I will do it at another date due to a theft and cancelling all of my credit cards just last week.............................As I stated I will ask this question at another time due to my wallet being stolen last week, cancelling of my credit cards and not receiving new cards in the mail as of yet.
Thank you.
