Living With MCS:
Symptoms
Here is what I must avoid:
Avoiding petrochemical byproducts (fragrances and laundry supplies for example) and these triggers is an all-encompassing task. I am only at ease at home where I can control my exposures. This vigilance has radically changed the quality and activity of my life, as well as those close to me. If I have a chemically free day I do not experience symtpoms listed below. If I remain at home I usually do not experience them barring the arrival of triggers on daily mail, arriving family, or some introduction of other outside interferences, such as fragrance coming in the windows. Learning how to cope with chemical intolerance has developed over the years in which I've experienced it. All mail or papers I would have to put them into sheet protectors. Once covered, I couldn’t write on them but I could read them, air them out on my porch and finally answer them or file them.
Symptoms
This is an exposure-driven illness, and when I can control my exposures, I control my health. I often say that I am actually well, however, the world is not. Upon exposure all thought functions are difficult. Paying attention, remembering things, general abilities are impaired. Words come with difficulty, I feel extremely fatigued and don’t remember things, cannot breathe without pain and inflammation and cannot easily type, complete sentences with ease, nor feel in total control of my mental capacities. Without exposures I can draw upon my many skills, which lead me through a once professional and productive life outside the walls of this home. |
