9/11: Still killing

Jenn Duncan, homebound in her apartment in Brooklyn, Aug. 1, 2006. She uses a walker to get around and sometimes needs oxygen or the respirator.

Duncan had a pre-exisitng Multiple Chemical Sensitivity that was greatly exacerbated by the dust and smoke of 9/11 drifting over Brooklyn. Since 2006, she moved to upstate New York and lives there now in 2015.

Duncan: “I have trouble breathing and burning in my nose and throat, migraine-like headaches, severe nausea, burning joint and muscle pain, great difficulty sleeping and eating, and worst of all, my cognitive capabilities are affected. Before, I was a programmer , technical manager, and business person, very active, organized, and productive. Now, I have trouble walking across a room. It’s tough to put two thoughts together, to try to remember anything – thinking is physically painful now.”
