Anyone know anything about wood stoves and ALS?
My husband is very interested in purchasing an old, used wood stove and installing it in our livingroom. It would save us money (we're in Montana) and it would definitely make for a warmer, more comfortable house for me - and, for all of us.
My concern is that since ALS affects breathing - would having wood smoke in the house just irritate my lungs? Right now my breathing is fine. I am only about 1 1/2 years into this. I'd appreciate any thoughts on this. I told my husband this morning he had to wait to install the stove until after I did some research.
Thanks!
