chemical sensitivity

[Damien Tonkin]

The following excerpt is from dictionary.com

chemical sensitivity
n.

An allergic condition attributed to extreme sensitivity to various environmental chemicals, as in air, food, water, building materials, or fabrics. Also called multiple chemical sensitivity.

one of the less common symptoms of cfs it can also present as a general sensory overload including photophobia or migraine. I was just wondering if anyone here aside from myself suffers from it.

Nice definition!!
Yeah I have MCS too, had it for years (possibly about the same time as my CFS)
I have sensitivities to a lot of things, and my reactions can be very varied, anything from a bit of sneezing to oh my god I can't breathe and I'm going to pass out!!!
Fun life.......if only I could go out places and avoid people smoking and wearing perfumes/colognes/deodorants etc
Yes, so you're not the only one with chemical sensitivity, sensory overload, photophobia etc!!!

do you take anything to help control it?
