Does Anyone Else Have Chemical Sensitivity Due To Fibromyalgia?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does any of you have chemical sensitivities? I break out in a rash so bad I have to get a Prednisone shot or take the pills. I break out from chlorine, so I can not go swimming, Salt water...no beach fun, the sun if I am exposed like all day, bug spray, sunscreen, and tanning beds. So summer really sucks! Does anyone else have these skin sensitivities?

I cannot be around perfumes, candles, laundry detergent that smells, room deodorizer, ... most chemicals now. I avoid certain stores and events because of odors.

@A MyFibroTeam Member LOL My hubby is a talker and sometimes I just have to tune him out especially when I am having an anxiety attack. I know that sounds awful. LOL

I'm sensitive to certain perfumes, chlorine, some plant smells (there is a hedge bush near our post office that makes me gag) and a lot of the chemical crap that is in food. I'm not officially allergic to anything, but...pretty darn close. I try to eat as little processed food as possible, because it upsets my stomach to eat dead foods: man-made, processed, junk foods. I try to eat as much living foods as possible: Fresh produce, veggies, fruits, lean meats, beans, nuts, whole grains etc. I eat about 50% vegetarian, but I discovered I have to have a very high protein diet (because my muscles spasm and twitch less) and I can't get enough protein without eating meats.

@A MyFibroTeam Member hahah trust me, I know what you mean! My man doesn't just talk, he rambles about anything (usually useless trivia - not even historical, which I could bear)! I love him dearly and I am blessed and thankful for him understanding Fibro, but dear Zeus, sometimes I do the same as you... Just zone out. Or when that doesn't help, I ask him to run a mini errand or bribe him with food just to get some peace and quiet. Hahaha
