Federal Agencies recognise MCS
MCS is recognised as a disability now by these Federal agencies. Once registered as disabled others you work with /live with will need to adjust accordingly - no perfumes, no scented washing detergents etc. You need a neuropsych exam to show brain fog, memory problems, concentration problems, etc

Another interesting link also to agencies in other countries for those not
in the US, it seems here in GB we still have a way to go and it's totally dependant on GPs (who know nothing about it usually, but we live in hope)

There is nothing definitive for these diseases like there
is for someone who is paralyzed and uses a wheelchair. So, you have to
build evidence of inability to perform everyday functions like a healthy
person. The more *documented* evidence the better, eg doctors' letters, abnormal test results, letters from family documenting
assistance provided and difficulty performing everyday tasks, etc.

Re: Federal Agencies recognise MCS
I'm in the UK! I agree- it's a fight, but what happens in the US follows over here in time. Even the fact that's its taken seriously by heavyweight bodies in the US now is ammunition for us to use over here. I'm finding that I'm being taken more seriously now than I was 10 years ago, especially at specialist level. Any doctor that doesn't listen to you and take your concerns on board is a fool, I would change your doc if you can. There's a wealth of research material on here you can quote from.
