Thanks for the response and link. Interesting. I do have several CYP450 enzymes that are poor metabolizer causing me a lot of issues with meds. I'm not Asian either. I've pretty much experienced all the symptoms mentioned except not depression from chemicals. I think if someone has related depression, it's from being allergic to the world and your workplace. I'm also allergic to all molds (mentioned in the article), trees, plants, animals, some foods. My allergy testing looked like a blackout bingo winner + + + + + + + +.

Interesting about your grandfather. My paternal grandfather died at 62 from acute leukemia. He worked at the Firestone tire plant for a long time, blue collar job I believe. He had severe allergies and asthma. It does now make me wonder. I know I don't do well around rubber.

The one bit of good news for me is I had a bad chronic cough for 30 years and any scents/chemicals instantly made it worse, but I often didn't know why I was coughing. In 2020, I was finally diagnosed with lung NETS (rare)/DIPNECH (really, really rare) explaining the over 50 tumors in my lungs. I've been taking Octreotide injections for over two years now and that has really minimized the coughing and shortness of breath. I've noticed that it has also made me less sensitive, especially my lungs, to chemicals and scents. Yay! Not gone and there are other symptoms, but much better as far as my respiratory issues. To not cough non-stop has been such a quality of life improvement!
