Chemical Sensitivity meeting

sensitiveMango3479 October 11th, 2018

Anyone else here chemical sensitive?

My therapist said i should find some people like me so maybe someday i could have a place to live with someone who understands and won't use chemicals around me but i don't know...

Still might be good to make a point for MCS specific support, i think

@sensitiveMango3479 I don't actually know how multiple chemical sensitivity is actually definied, whether or not it applies to different conditions.

I do have various chemical triggers, along with other triggers though.

Almost every 'thing' is made of up chemicals, so it may help if you can define some of them better. I try to avoid things like scented products and smoke. Many cleaning solutions are also a problem, but I can't avoid them entirely.

@AffyAvo basically if chemicals can make you sick or physically bother you then it counts, it does vary and can get worse over time but alot of people at least start off with milder symptoms. Other things can bother you too and it doesn't mean it's not chemical sensitivity at other times, like idk why peaches also give me headaches.

@sensitiveMango3479 times* and some symptoms can overlap because alot of things have similar symptoms like i have allergies so sometimes people think I'm sneezing from cat hair but it's actually their shampoo and sometimes it's difficult to figure out what's what.
