Its been a while since my last entry. I had nothing to report except various chemical exposures before christmas which wiped out 9 days of my life and another four pounds off my already pathetic 7st 10lb frame.  I think I qualify as size zero Uk size 6. I eat 3 meals a day when I am not ill (on those days I dont not even get out of bed) have been known to tuck into a whole bag of kettle chips! . I am just wiped out by chemicals in everything I cant afford organic everything so am at risk at every meal from potential toxic injury. I am free of dairy and gluten to free my body of further toxic overload and cant tolerate any food additives or preservatives.

Well my Christmas money has been invested in supplements which I started taking  3 weeks ago. I am supposed to take 2 L Glutathione complex tablets and 300mg of magnesium citrate a day. I am up to 150mg of magnesium citrate a day and had to reduce the L-Glutathione complex to one as they gave me mild pain in my kidney (anyone familair with this side effect?). Increase again in 3 weeks. This according the the doctor at Acumen may reduce my sensitivities.

I just wanted to pinch and punch someone this morning. . .sometimes its  just the little things like the loneliness of this disease can get to y0u. . .or was it my vicious streak! . .anyway...

Today was my first accidental chemical exposure under the new regime, as I had to go to social services as they would not come to me. However when seeing my reaction even through a mask after a few minutes ( This as much quicker and severe than usual ie tha past 2 months) . . .its was extremely fragrant body lotion as it turns out,  I was sent home and allowed to conduct the interview over the phone. . . ( with lots of apologies,-).

Well its day 2 of gluten and dairy free and I have to admit I feel pretty awful shakey, feverish, head ache, indigestion, poor breathing, extremely swollen head painful muscles etc. But its different and  have to say worse than the usual fuzzy headedness if am kept away from chemicals.

Last night I felt like an extra from train spotting going cold turkey, I had the most lucid nightmare and insomnia. . ..all this completely new to me and not very welcome I must say.

Well I am very positive after nearly 2 hours with  a nutritionalist and has agreed and identified my toxic overload by a sympton question and answer (no surprises there then)  - but its  some one who understands,  is more than willing to help and gives me access to this all important testing.

 Simple symptom question and answer has identified deficiencies in EFA Vits and Liver function, and Adrenals.

This is my first attemp at a blog/blogging .. .. .however you want to describe it . . .so please bare with me

 I have experienced all the highs but mostly lows of suffering with MCS. The feeling like you are going to die as our body slowly feels like its grinding to a halt  and not being at all bothered or able to do anything about it, and even worse,  willing it to happen to ease the pain. Being nursed through the hours of convulsions as the body reacts to something new. The isolation is difficult to deal with. People stare, laugh or cross the road when you wear your mask. . .......I often wonder what they are thinking? The financial worries of living in a place you cant afford and what happens when the savings run out.
