Sick after cleaning coop?

[ButtonHoarder]

Nevermind yall, things are getting worst. I seem to be having memory issues, speech issues, getting worst eyesight fast, having trouble with joints and weakness. New and worsening emotion and mental problems. Still got muscle spasms and back pain. Can't walk too long without my entire lower body hurting. Limbs randomly half-give out when I walk or move for too long. Sat in a chair earlier and my hips+feet were hurting really bad so I had to keep changing position, then my knees went completely numb Its so hard to get up, especially in the mornings or evening. All my joints and everything doesn't want to work or move so I have to stand there in pain until my body wakes up fully. The tingling on my back is always noticeably there and I noticed its on my head too but mostly the back. Family hates me now because I had a meltdown and just about lost it. It was probably the worst I've ever had (they fail to understand that I cannot control it, so they just get angry and scream mean things at me, making things worst) I give up on this whole issue and just hope my birds get good homes when I am gone. Sorry this thread took a depressing turn but it is what it is.

I'm so sorry. Can you call 911? This sounds really serious.

OP, are you okay?

I lost track of who wrote original post. But I hope you seek professional medical help and feel better. Get well!

I’m reading all the posts and illnesses… Would a rake on a dirt floor work and a shopvac? my coop is a farm store coop, low to ground, dirt floor, raised roosting area…82”x40”
Then what can I add? fresh dirt from a pile on my property?

Yes, just please wear a mask to protect yourself from inhaling dust and other particular gunk from the coop.

Can wood chips or natural cedar mulch be added instead of added dirt

Pine, not cedar. I understand cedar can be toxic to chickens.

I hope this poster is doing okay. It's been over a month since they became ill.

Same. I'm really worried about them.

Update: Last night, trying to sleep was very scary and felt somewhat similar to day 1 of this. More symptoms are arising and today is awful. I can barely move at all and I'm so weak. The cramp/spasms are still happening. My entire body hurts. It hurts so bad to walk because all my joints hurt so badly when I move. When I get out of bed, I wheeze and gasp then can't catch my breath for minutes. My back is hurting really bad and tingling intensely+constantly and it is spreading slowly. Other parts of my body are having some occasional tingling. My ankles have burning(spicy like a pepper) sensations when I lay down. My lungs feel so full and heavy and I can hardly catch my breath. I'm shaking really bad from the waist up. I feel as if I aged 100 years overnight. My moms going to take me to urgent care since this has gotten way more serious so fast.

Did you recently get the covid vaccine? I only ask because a friend had these symptoms afterwards.
I am sorry your not feeling well.
I hope your doctor can help you feel better.
I did get sick after cleaning coop for me it was like a bad respiratory cold.
After 10 days I was better!
