I have MCS bad -- a whiff of a chemical (perfume, paint, tar, smoke, etc.) hits me in the bronchial tubes and I cough and get tight in the chest. Same goes for getting headaches. Several doctors say there is no medicine that will help these triggers -- Only AVOIDANCE. I hate having to live my life this way, but better than feeling bad.

I can smell mold and mildew a mile away. Can only handle certain perfumes, hair products ect....Yup, it's been a issue for a long time. Long before I knew I had fibro. I avoid department stores, cleaning isles of food stores ect....

Strong scents give me migraines, certain detergents and creams give me rashes, I love chocolate but can't have it as with caffeine they cause inflammation and my pain gets worse.Also allergic to latex, i could go on but I think you get the picture.

I'm having trouble with so many chemicals and fragrances that I have a hard time leaving the house or seeing people

Has anyone heard if dynamic neural retraining works for MCS? It's supposed to reset the limbic system
