Sick Building Symptoms, Mold Research, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities are all sections of our site that may help, along with our public Resources pages. I have the same condition that this woman does, and am glad she has found help, hopefully, with Dr. William Rea, in TX.

I can't even stand that close due to the chlorine fumes.

Research is showing that genes can be damaged by chemical exposures, and the epigenetic changes can be passed on to children. There are now cases of MCS in families, so it doesn't surprise me that your daughter could be less able to tolerate chemicals. Panic attacks and anxiety can be caused by some types of chemicals. Feeling like crap from exposures does make people want to avoid them, and eventually even need to avoid them to remain functional. Mall air is extremely toxic. Perfume chemicals, like tobacco smoke, travel and can make people very sick and disabled. It's like being given drugs against your will. If you want to stay straight, you avoid the places that get you drugged. Jeff,

Her boyfriend as well. 4 years ago my daughter started having panic attacks in school. Other fears developed. Afraid of the mall, elevators, movie theaters. I suspect the fear factor displayed by her mother about her sensitivities. Wearing a mask at her school at school functions or in the car or anywhere she detects a strange smell. Quiting a job at the school because something was in the air. Closing all the windows in the apartment because someone next door used perfume. Does anybody relate to this problem or have a similar situation? My daughter’s mother (we’re separated) has MCS and electrical sensitivity. Her boyfriend as well.

"JUST THE FACTS" isn't only what an investigator would say. As a reporter it's their JOB to be accurate and make sure their information is correct. However, they don't send the story to you to proof, so until it comes out in the paper (for example) there is no way of knowing what it's going to say. I too was interviewed by a paper and other than one minor detail, it was a good article. People need to know what MCSers go through. The best way to ensure that your story is correct is to write it yourself. (if you can) Well done just getting the article out there. The error might have even expanded your readership.
