Just 42 And Having Not Started Smoking Till I Was In My Mid 20's I Worked At A High School In Manchester As A Caretaker / Building Manager From 1998 - 2003
I Had Try ed Submitting A Claim With IIDB Re My Now Chronic Lung Disease Industrial Injury To No Avail .... Since When Is Emphaysema And Bronchiectasis And Severe Lung Damage From When I Was Younger Not A Industrial Disease Or Chronic Lung Disease
Now I Have Worked For The Said Authority Since 1991 - 2003 When I Resigned Due To BSF And Contractual Issues
Its Not Like I Wasn't A Member Of A Popular Union At The Time I Was Exposed To Asbestos And Cement Dust Ect Ect On A Daily Basis In My Capacity As Live In Caretaker / Building Manager At The Said High School
Where I Might Ad I Attribute My Now Chronic Lung Disease Industrial Injury To The Said School And Even When I Resigned There Was No Escape As I Was Still Being Exposed To Various BSF Demolition And Builders Dust Wile Waiting To Be Rehoused Off Site
......................... There Is More To This Story But In Interest Of Privacy ......................
But I Still Feel Having Been Exposed To Asbestos, Cement, Demolition, Builders Dust In A School That Had A Shelf Life Of Only 30 Years But Was Only Demolished After 50 Has Given Me This Chronic Lung Disease
(1) Example 1 1/2 in Steel Gas Pipe Will Rot Right Threw With Just A Pie Size Bit Of Cement Stuck On It After 30 years Now I Know My Lungs Are Not Made Of Steel
(2) Example Asbestos Diseases Manifest Them Self In Diffident Ways Some Symptoms Take Many Years Even Decades To Appear Exposure A Long Time Ago Might Only Be Showing Up As A Disease Some Of These Conditions Are Malignant (Cancerous) Some Are Not Melanoma Is A Type Of Cancer That Destroys Pleura But Emphasemea Destroys The Pleura Pretty Just Like Asbestos Except Its Not Covenant To Say That Despite Asbestos Fibers Damaging The Pleura In Exact Fashion
(3) Then We Have Bronchiectasis Abnormal Bronchi And Becomes Filled With Excess Amount Of Mucus If Not Checked Will Destroy Your Alveoli Or Grapes Just Like Asbestos The Fibres Usually Resist And Destroy These Blood Cells Like Bronchiectasis promoting Further Inflammation Further Mucus And Irreversible Scarring fibrosis And Destruction Of The Alveolar The Grapes
It Looks To Me Like I Am Victim Of The Ongoing Cuts With IIDB And Having Under Gone My Fist Medical Review And Ct Scan Of My Chronic Condition That Made Me Sick
My Lung Specialist At A Hospital Who As Just Diagnose Me With This Serious Condition Did Say My Lungs Where Full Of Hole's And I Had Suffered A Major Lung Injury Trauma From When I Was Younger And I Also Have Emphysema And Bronchitisas
Am No Lung Specialist And Its Very Hard Finding One Who Will Confirm But I Think I Know What The Early Signs Asbestos Related Diseases Are
That's Why I Feel My Injury Is A Direct Result Of My Work And Living Conditions As A Caretaker / Building Manager At The High School I Worked At But As With Everything Time Will Tell ..... A Just Hope I Am Wrong And Specialist Are Right
