I'm so sorry you are subjected to this @peggyj4411. Do you have a family member who could speak to the homes management? I think it's important to be very direct, though I understand it often falls on deaf ears. Multiple Chemical Sensitivy is huge and doctors don't seem to want to recognize it.

Unbeknownst to me, I lived in a mold environment for 3 years. As a result, I am extremely sensitive to most drugs and I have severe side effects, which border on paralysis. The last RA drug I was on made me so weak and created a great deal of pain, in only one months time. My pain became more severe than when I was not taking anything at all, which is now the case. My inflammation has been severely curbed, yet my doctor does not seem to want to recognize this. I asked them to repeat a blood panel to see the difference in my numbers sans drugs, but I'm told there is "no indication" to do this.

I will continue to ask and talk to the department head, if necessary. The fact that my doctor is now offering 3 more biologic drugs tells me she does not understand the side effects I have dealt with. My body is literally crumbling, from head to toe, and the fact that they refuse to recognize my severe drug intolerance is very frustrating. Still, I will continue to ask and won't give up until they listen and help me find answers. I could have been given more biologic drugs in Chicago, I didn't have to go to MC to get them.

I know it is hard, but we must advocate for ourselves. Eventually, someone has to listen. Giving up just isn't an option.

I hope you can get some help for this very real issue.

@peggyj4411 good morning. Welcome to Connect. This must seem intolerable! Have you spoken to anyone in Administration or Management?
I'm not in favor of being sweet in this situation. I am a lung cancer survivor and in close quarters it's horrible.
You are paying to stay there, let them know how these oders effect you. They are there to protect you not make things worse.
Can you speak up to them or have a family member do it?
