>> good idea rosie, wonder if he would do a show on just MCS and how it

effects relationships, or keeps you from haveing

one.>>

thanks. And you stated something very important " keeps you from having

one " . So many MCSers are unable to be in public, visit friends and families

and have relationships because they cannot tolerate " normal " fragrances on

people such as their toiletries, clothes, fabric softeners, detergents, hand

lotions, etc and are isolated from people. It's tragic for them having to

be isolated and unable to have a social life; even with family members.

And often the family/friends cannot comprehend the severity of the illness

and are unwilling to make necessary changes for the MCS person to

participate in family gatherings. Even marriages end in divorces when one

normal spouse is unwilling to totally change in order to have a safe

environment for the ill spouse. Very disruptive for everyone. Yes, Oprah

and Dr. Phil should be encouraged to have some programs on this subject as

well as how toxic mold will influence families and all relationships within

the home and workplace.

Perhaps we as a group can share with each other how our toxic mold illness and

MCS has affected the relationships in our lives. Would help us I believe.

Sigh,
