a few more questions on MCS

[Guest guest]

was your MCS dignosed quickly after getting it,

or did you suffer with it a few years before it was dignosed?

and do you think this might play a role in advoidence helping lessening

your effects.

also when you use the word abatement, you dont mean cured do you,

because I recall you still can be effected by MCS.

thanks for any answers you can give.

maybe a better word would be " lessor effects " ??

Dictionary

a·bate·ment ( & #601;-bât'm & #601;nt)

n.

Diminution in amount, degree, or intensity; moderation.

The amount lowered; a reduction.

Law. The act of eliminating or annulling.

" Abatement " seems to fit my situation perfectly as I find them to

be vastly reduced, without making the claim that I am now completely

immune at all times.

My chemical reactivities had gradually increased over several years

by " spreading " - extending to more irritants until, as Dr

told me " Life has become intolerable for you " .

At the time when he told me " You are at a point where most people

with CFS commit suicide " , I was only hoping to reduce the primary

exacerbation that I had always connected with mold. I had no idea

that by focusing on mold that my other chemical irritants would

cease to be a major driving force in my illness.

I was surprised, but very happy that I went in this direction.

I don't use the word " cured " because even though these chemicals no

longer seem to bother me as they once did - if I am exposed to

mycotoxins, the alternate chemical reactivites soon begin to

manifest again - scarcely a " cure " .

The interesting thing about mold avoidance was just that it really

helped when I had run out of other things to try.

Not a guarantee. Not something I can say will apply to everyone,

only a last ditch strategy that got me some results when nothing

else did.

-thank you , I have been trying to reseach things that I have a

mcs reaction to and find that most of them have a conection to mold.

I dont want to say all of them but its sure looking that way. from

what I've read, most people with mcs have about the same reactions to

the same things, sure wish they would some studys on this. would be

interesting to know the exact cause and if it is caused by exposure

to mold or any chemicals (toxins)and if there is a difference in the

effects ,depending on what caused it. I still wonder if it could be

mistaken for allergic asthma or hypersensative pnuemonia. seems like

the damage to the lungs and avoelious, airways could be involved. but

wait a minute, I think I just answered my own question. because

sometimes I dont smell whats effecting me and/or cough and get the

pain in my chest from irratants , but still have same effects to my

body of a mcs exposure. hummm, nevermind, it really is MCS. humm,

wonder how many people have been dignosed with AA or HP who really

have

MCS.
