A few months ago I moved to a new apartment in another part of the city
Il y a quelques mois j’ai déménagé dans un nouvel appartement dans un autre quartier de la ville
The first days were calm and I felt normal
Les premiers jours se sont bien passés et je me sentais normal
After a week my eyes started to itch often and I got a runny nose
Après une semaine mes yeux ont commencé à me démanger souvent et j’ai eu le nez qui coule
I thought it was tiredness or a reaction to the change in weather
Je pensais que c’était de la fatigue ou une réaction au changement de temps
Over time the symptoms became stronger especially in the morning and in the evening
Avec le temps les symptômes sont devenus plus forts surtout le matin et le soir
It was hard for me to focus on work because of constant discomfort
Il m’était difficile de me concentrer au travail à cause de l’inconfort constant
I decided to make an appointment with a doctor to understand the cause
J’ai décidé de prendre rendez vous chez un médecin pour comprendre la cause
The doctor listened carefully to my complaints and asked questions about my home
Le médecin a écouté attentivement mes plaintes et a posé des questions sur mon logement
He asked if there were carpets old curtains or many books in the apartment
Il a demandé s’il y avait des tapis des rideaux anciens ou beaucoup de livres dans l’appartement
After the examination the doctor said it looked like a dust allergy
Après l’examen le médecin a dit que cela ressemblait à une allergie à la poussière
He explained that a new apartment can contain many dust particles
Il a expliqué qu’un nouvel appartement peut contenir beaucoup de particules de poussière
He prescribed antihistamine tablets and a nasal spray
Il m’a prescrit des comprimés antihistaminiques et un spray nasal
The doctor also advised doing wet cleaning more often
Le médecin a aussi conseillé de faire le ménage humide plus souvent
I removed the carpets washed the curtains and started airing the rooms regularly
J’ai enlevé les tapis lavé les rideaux et j’ai commencé à aérer les pièces régulièrement
After a few days the symptoms became noticeably weaker
Après quelques jours les symptômes sont devenus nettement plus faibles
After two weeks I almost stopped feeling discomfort
Après deux semaines je ne ressentais presque plus d’inconfort
Now I understand how important it is to keep the home clean
Maintenant je comprends à quel point il est important de garder la maison propre
This experience helped me take better care of my health
Cette expérience m’a aidé à mieux prendre soin de ma santé
