I tried searching threads but I really can't seem to focus on anything at this time and feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of threads so I apologize if this request is a repeat of previous threads.

I suspect that our home is 'unhealthy'. The only thing is that the symptoms that lead me to believe so are not regular, consistent; however, they almost never afflict us when we're outside the home. I will not go into the symptoms of others here but some of my symptoms are: fatigue, feeling down and feeling unable to concentrate (not always, but often enough to make me want to figure out what's going on; and always only in the home).

(I had hoped to pose this question to the sisters when I join the sister's room but I still have not received a call and now feel like I better get a handle on this sooner rather than later.)

I would appreciate some feedback insha'Allah.

From a practical level, you can can try and eliminate certain things in an attempt to deduce what could be triggering the symptoms you are experiencing. Based on your explanations, it's sounds like you are having what neurologists class as 'Functional / Dissociative Symptoms' (see: www.neurosymptoms.org for detailed information on what this is). Things which can cause these are many, and sometimes it is referred to as 21st century syndrome due to the increased use of pesticides and antibiotics in food, chemicals in water (note: look up the effects if fluoride to human health), toxic air (chemicals in perfumes are not regulated, and tests have shown that some contain harmful cacogenics among other things), electro magnetic sensitivity (phone masts, mobile phones, wifi signals etc. have shown to cause a wide array of symptoms in individuals, including fatigue, headache, sharp pains etc.). Although many people show no symptoms with any of these things, there are large groups of people who, even mild exposure cause very serious physical effects (see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-14887428). Medical science is still very ignorant and in the dark about a lot of things, and until it catches up people are having to feel embarrassed about experiencing these 'made up' symptoms.

So practical steps:

1. Ensure that you're house wifi is off when not in use (especially at night!)
2. Minimise the use of mobile phones, and if using them, try and use a hand free kit
3. Enquire with local authority about previous industrial use of the site your house is built on as there could be high amounts of land pollution causing such ill effects (I would assume this would be a stronger item to pursue if more than one person in your family is experiencing these symptoms!)
4. Stop the use of perfumes and minimise the use of fragranced products
5. Buy organic and fresh when possible (avoid processed food/meat)

May Allah make is easy on you and your family. Keep in mind the hadith of the prophet (saw):

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri and Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his sins for that."
