Anyone have multiple chemical insensitivity (MCS)?

@lisalucier I had to retire very suddenly as I had severe coughing, chest tightening and weakness. I didn’t realize what a big role all the products played. At this point I’ve removed all scented products, candles detergents etc. which helped a lot. I’m also eliminating the products with preservatives etc and my skin is much better as well. I was using Tide unscented and switched to the unscented company and that helped as well. I’m sure there are other good detergents. For my hair I use unscented Philip Adam and for soap I found a very pure olive oil soap from Greece called Papoutsanis. I make cream out of organic shea butter blended with sweet almond, jojoba and rose oils. I clean my house with baking powder/vinegar/borax. If anyone has other suggestions I’d love to hear them! I have no connections with any company

@drsharon if you can have medications compounded, it is best. Every MCS individual will react to different medications or chemicals. In short, there’s no way to determine which medications would cause a reaction, until you take them. A lot of people reject the osteoporosis meds due to long term side effects. My sister has rejected them and exercises, maintains good diet and takes a bone supplement. With that said, you make the best choice for you. Avoid hospitals as much as possible because the indoor air quality is toxic and doctors wear fragrances w/o regard to patient’s sensitivities. I must avoid polyethylene glycol as it sets off my nervous system. So, perhaps research everything you will need to take medication wise. Compound what is possible…

@john0627 thanks, I’ll look into compounding
