 Multiple Chemical Sensitivity

A Few Days Later

August 2010

Well, I’m starting to feel human again.  At least for the moment it has come and gone today. 

 

I have been followed the plan of:  

Getting the porcelain dental work put in.  Washing the entire bedding.  Dusting, vacuuming, and general cleaning of the apartment.  Undoing what was done to my work environment.  Also taking the heavy metal detox program.  All of this since the last post.  I can’t say I yet feel anything near one hundred percent yet but I can say that today is the first day I haven’t felt totally awful for a little while now.

 

The tooth was almost instantly better.  It amazed me how in a second or two after it was swapped out it felt as if a pressure had been taking off me.  Things looked  a little brighter.  The tooth may have been expensive but it was a worthwhile investment.

 

The beading seems pretty good although by no means perfect.  The pillows are most likely a lost cause.  I’m bummed but they really have needed replacing or a long time now.  I just haven’t wanted to deal with process. 

 

The general cleaning was a complete pain.  But good.

 

Taking care of the work environment helped but to my dismay, not as much as I had hoped.  I undid what was done and resealed what had become exposed but the MCS triggers that had gotten into the rest of the environment proved to be a worse problem than expected.  I’ll keep cleaning but mostly I suspect the whole things just needs to ‘air out’ over the next week.

 

As for the Heavy Metal Detox program?  It has only been three days since I started it and I can’t completely say it has been helping yet but I certainly doesn’t not appear to be hurting anything.  Three, perhaps four, of the challenges I have been facing lately have revolved around metals being a sever MCS trigger.  Metals have caused increasingly challenging MSC reactions over the last six plus months or so.  Perhaps my system has hit it’s max so that any exposure has set me over the edge.  I am hoping that this detox program will clean out my system and help increase my resistance to this class of trigger.  I’ll let you know how it goes in a week or so.
