If there is anyone who has SMCS / MCS or knows anyone who has it, I would like to be able to forum on the topic.

Hi,

I have MCS since the 1990's. I think I was over exposed to chemicals at that time. I worked in the aerospace industry, in those days there were no laws for health and safety. I suffer severely and react to many things including perfumes, colognes, sanitizer, chemical toxins, etc. I still manage to hold a job and am noticing that the air quality is becoming worse and worse. Nothing has helped, except to try and avoid exposures. I don't understand how other people can use chemicals and don't smell anything. Actually I find it disgusting how much perfume some people wear.

Hello...
Thank you for commenting. I am so sorry you suffer, My job as a house cleaning for many years triggered mine in 1997. I so understand about the PERFUMES. People wear scents and don't smell it themselves because they are use to it. Thank you again

Hello,

Do you still do house cleaning or have you had to change? Has anything helped for your MCS, except avoidance? I was recently diagnosed with celiacs, so am working hard to change my diet. I feel better, and the diet is healthier, but I miss the deserts!

I have mcs. I have been able to improve how sensitive I am by cleaning up my diet and eliminating exposure at home. I do still get nauseous from too much cologne and perfume. But not up all night vomiting.

Have you ever tried an elimination diet to see if that might be contributing? I find the less my “toxin bucket” gets filled the better I do.
