MCS/smell sensitivity tips?

[Guest guest]

Hi again,

My smell sensitivity (and light sensitivity, not to mention whatever else I'm

forgetting) have calmed down some since I've been feeling better on the

herbals.

However I can still be wiped out by being near scents, including perfumes,

colognes, those d**m plug-in air " fresheners " (now there's an oxymoronic

product), candles, etc, etc.

Does anyone have any helpful suggestions for dealing with these kinds of

sensitivities while in public, and/or have any remedies which have helped?

I've ordered one of those personal air cleaner things you hang around your

neck, and I have some homeopathic nasal stuff which I tried once and it didn't

seem to help at all.

I also looked up MCS groups in the and the list that came up was

a bit overwhelming, so if anyone is on one that would be helpful and more

suited to these kinds of questions, please let me know.

Thanks.
