Thanks for checking on me. My MCS started Jan. 2024, metal taste in my mouth, burning lips, and a knot in my throat the first few weeks. I had COVID after, all most a year later. Nov. Or Dec. 2024.
THANKS DENNIS
dennisjenkins, Did you by chance have COVID? Some of your symptoms fall into the Long Covid category, especially since it's been a 1.5 years of the onset.
Is there a COVID Recovery Clinic near you where you can be checked?
Blessings & Prayers.....

1 ReactionMultiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) is a proposed name for a variety of symptoms that seem to happen after exposure to small amounts of certain substances. Bounce fabric softener poisoning for three weeks.
Shaking
Sweating
Weakness
***Trouble with focusing or memory (“brain fog”) ***
Impending sense of doom
Desire to escape a situation
Not all providers recognize MCS as an official diagnosis. There aren’t any specific tests for it. Tests of organ function usually come back normal, which makes it difficult to pinpoint health issues.
There are no specific treatments for MCS. You can work with your provider to manage your symptoms and try to find ways to avoid substance
I take anxiety, blood pressure, joint pain, medicine. No energy, lose my bounce, memory has got really bad. I have it for year and half now. Geeting sicker every day.
THANKS DENNIS
