Jeannine and Carl,

I have to agree with Jeannine. The whole masking theory with regard to

this phenomenon never made sense to me, either. It is just so odd that Sue

has become so sensitive to cigarette smoke after exposure (I know that this

hold true for some others, too). While for smokers, it seemed to help them

thru...but they are sensitive to other exposures. I have always thought

there is something about this that might be helpful to understanding

environmental illness and chemical sensitivity as a whole. But I don't know

what it

is.

I just cant find any reasoning to the masking thing. I just think it's all

about the dose. I dont think any part of exposure in a WDB is masked, I

seperate afterwards, this allowing us to start reconizeing effects that we

didn't reconize before.

I was a mess, what I reconized is what hurt most at the time.

I started reconizeing things that bothered me right after my exposure

even though I had know Idea what it meant, or why, I was still a mess

because I had no clue than that I needed to avoid chemicals and toxins,but I

remember things like cut grass, someones purfumes,ect. were just makeing me

fell worse, so much so that I felt very angry and had uncontrolable rage if

I couldn't get away from it.

I dont think that during my exposure,while my head was swelling, my

ability to think about much of anything, or remeber that I put the tolit paper

in

the freezer and why I did that and why I couldn't remember doing that,

would be a masking of the later,obvious brain fog/seizure type effects that I

came to reconize that I had after being out of the WDB and finally learning

something about advoiding things that kept me in that tottal state of

confusion.

I just dont believe there was any masking to it, it was advoidance and

only advoidance that calmed down my many,many symptoms enough that I could

start seperateing them somewhat instead of just being a total mess in zombie

land.

with this illness and even now, nothing is masked, I get exposed to

something and wiether I smell it or not, I know because of the effects, that

I've

been exposed to something.

if it's in a high enough dose, I know it.

if it's not, I may reconize little or no affects.

I also know that there are things that dont cause any obvious chemical

reaction at all but still can make me fell quite bad.
