I think my well water may be contaminated

Posted , 2 users are following.

I used to live in texarkana but since I moved to hot springs I've been gradually getting sicker and sicker.

I first moved to an apartment then to my brothers house (which is in the village) both those places had City water.

Now I live in a mobile home I rent from my dad.

Where for the past 6 months I get out at most once a month to get groceries.

Whenever I go out I notice I get better but once I go back home I get worse again.

whenever I go to a place I seem to have a large craving for water and after drinking a lot of water there I always feel better but once I go back home I get sick again once I drink the water there.

Now my speech is becoming more and more slurred and I am shaking sometimes.

When I stayed in an apartment when I first moved to hot springs I did not seem to get sick.

But since moving to my brothers house and now this mobile home both I been gradually getting sicker and sicker.

I think my water might be contaminated with something. At the beginning each day the water comes out white cloudy unless I run it for a few minutes. I now know I have a water softener system that not been maintained in over a year.

And knowing my father he probably didn't maintain it right and he put the wrong kind of sodium pellets in it.

Also considering how cheap this place is and the cover over the water softener system looks like a cheap plastic container basically.

For the first 3 months I stayed here I drank the white cloudy water because I thought nothing of it. Over the last six to seven months I've been staying here I've been getting sicker and sicker.!

At first I thought it was the laundry detergent. But no matter what laundry detergent I tryed I always broke out red all over my skin.

Now even if I take a shower I break out red all over my skin.

This morning I tried running the water for 10 minutes and then drank a few glasses and now I'm feeling incredibly sick.

Over my time staying here I've suffered from chronic constipation. Until about the beginning of this month. The first half of this month I drunk almost nothing but mostly bottled water. Now I can have bowl movements much easier now.

One time recently I accidentally drank tap water and walked outside I felt really hot even know it was 30 to 40 degrees outside. I felt so hot that I could be outside in cold weather wearing next to nothing and still feel warm.

Now I am sick in bed most the day.

and after drinking any tap water here I have no appetite and I have to force myself to eat something.

Also I've lost almost all ability to perspire(sweat)

if anyone has any questions I will answer them to the best of my abilities if I'm still able.

      Either you are very young or very niave, if you are on here saying your sick when you drink water from your mobile home and your only really ill when your their then STOP DRINKING THE WATER buy bottled, boil water that you wash in and get your heating system checked to make sure it's not carbon manoxide poisoning and also talk to your dad and get him to have the water tested

      Surely you are more important than a bit of cash
