Spam[5] Spam[4] Re: Avoidance

[Guest guest]

Sue, I do, I get releif by staying home alot. avoiding places that I know well

cause this reaction, and tottaly eliminating all chemicals from my home.

getting through a outing and not haveing this happen

used to be a rare thing, but I'm finally seeing a little improvement,

overall, so I can dare to try going more places that I could not have tolerated

before, still cant hang out there very long even if I dont get this reaction, as

both still, a reaction without this reaction, and the longer I stay somewhere

thats getting to me the worse I start to fell, still other types reaction can

accure and also a tottal body reaction that can make me get to felling quite

miserable.

it's kindof like a evil little joke getting played on me,

I sometimes get a rude reminder that I still have this condition and it can make

what was a better day turn south real quick.

like finally braveing to go to my grandsons grandparents day at school and

makeing it through until I went to his room to look at things he's made,ect. and

getting attacked by the very strong smell of antibacterial cleaning supplies.

crazy when that happens and the people look at you with big question marks in

your eyes and you cant really talk with this lung attack going on, you just have

to get outside.

all I could manage to do was tell my grandson I had to go, he has probably

realized by now if grandma's caughing shes heading for the door. a quick

goodbye, and hopeing my now weak legs get me that far.

the combination of the chemicals and lack of air to the brain is hard on the

brain, had to set outside for a bit to get my bareings back.

everytime I go somewhere I risk this happening, and also if someone comes to my

house and have purfumes or smelly cloths.

some of these exposures make me very irritable very quick, I cant control it, so

close family has learned that if they make a mistake and come over smelling they

wont be staying long.

but they finally understant that it's the way these things affect my brain that

make me irritable and I cant control it.

it's been a long hard road, needless to say I dsont have any company anymore,

just daughters and grandkids and they know what they might have to deal with

when they come over, they still forget sometimes, or they think if they dont

smell their own purfumes or the laundry soap on their cloths that they wear that

it wont affect me, wrong.

I can tolerate them if it's a very weak scent now, for a little longer but they

still cant hang out to long or it starts getting to me.

so overall my tolerance level is getting a little better but if I'm felling bad

usually do to being colonized and those flareups in my body, my tolerance level

goes back down.

so yes, what Joe said in regards to some of us being moldy and how that affects

our hyper-reactivity/sensitivities I believe is correct.

but also a re-exposure and it's strenght/chemical makeup can deturmine

the reaction.
