9/20/2010 Caller states that he has been living in an apartment for the past 2 years, spending 14 days there and then 14 days away alternately. At some point (unknown when), someone, possibly a pest control worker, was hired by the building owners of the building to apply the pesticide to the apartment's window-sills. Caller has found that there is an odor of this in the apartment. Starting about 7/4/10, he developed episodes of trembling and uncharacteristic sleepiness. On about 7/20 and 8/17, he experienced episodes of loss of balance. Today, he is having difficulty walking straight. Caller was seen by primary physician on about 8/2/10. MD offered no diagnosis or treatment and referred him to neurologist. Caller missed his appointment with neurologist and was seen at ER, where he was referred to his primary MD again. He was seen by primary MD this morning, and found to have 30% kidney function.
