Northumberland News reports on Canary Report contributor Franny Armstrong.
“I can’t go out in the environment without getting sick,” she said, explaining how staying in the house for so long has made her “a bit of an eccentric.”
Her family life has also suffered. At one point her husband admitted most people thought he didn’t even have a wife, because she could never accompany him to other peoples houses for fear of a reaction.
“I felt like such a failure, like I couldn’t do anything,” she said. “That’s a big part of having this illness, it limits you so much that you feel useless.”
To counteract these feelings and take back some control in her life, Ms. Armstrong turned her passion for writing into a career. She recently sold her second romance novel, which is the first in a nine-part series, is in the midst of a non-fiction book about living with MCS titled “The Toxic Tango,” and is a regular contributor to The Canary Report, a web site about living with MCS.
