A Multiple Chemical Sensitivity story

---

I was working cleaning houses and using toxic chemicals.I developed mold in my home and did not know for years it was there. I had no success with allergist in the area and went to an Environmental doctor 4 hours away and he recommened I check my home for mold and gave me info about not using toxics products etc. I was so weak and confused and lost down to 88 pounds. My husband and daughters did not even read the info the doctor gave me, It was 7 months before my home was tested for mold. A friend had developed a B complex shots with amino acids hgh testosterone that is called Stem cell energetics. Environmental doctor put me on oxygen and told me to get out of my home. Two weeks of the shots I got the strength to wash and dry my laundry removing it immediately from the home and put them in my car. I ran the oxygen out the window to my car. It was pouring rain for 4 days. When it stopped I finally left my home and tried to stay with my parents but the room I stayed in was musty with carpet that was old and only cleaned once. I started back sleeping in my car while there and ran my oxygen to it. After three weeks I went to my brothers and could not tolerate the fresh polyurathane he had just sealed his floors with. I went to a hotel that they claimed they cleaned with environmental friendly cleaning products but they would spray the room with fabreeze. It make me so sick and the room was moldy and I broke out in a rash. Then I found an old cheap hotel that I cleaned the ceramic tile with vinegar to remove the pinesol and took a purifier and a cotton barrier to cover the bed. I had to pack my clothes in pillow cases because I had no luggage and plastic bags broke me out. I stayed there for two weeks Then finally my husband called and said to come home that he had done the mold remediations. Also while I was gone, the roof had to be redone because of hail damage. When I came home the whole house smelled like the shingles and made me so sick. We found out there was no sealed barrier between the shingles and the inside of the mobile home. We also had our heating unit replaced during this time only to find three years later they had left a bunch of cardboard under the house and knocked the dryer vent loose. This started another round of mold especially when we had so much rain. I am still living in this home and desperately trying to find somewhere to go. I had improved years ago by staying out of the house as much as I could but it caused problems in my marriage. My husband has been affected also but does not realize how much. He's very forgetful and just struggling everyday to work and try to get us on our feet financially. He had lost his job that he had for 30 years and was unemployed for 2 years and went school to get a degree to try and get a better paying job. I am ready to get on with my life and am almost as weak as I was 3 years ago. Trying to find somewhere to go so I can heal. Many times I just wanted my life to be over with because of the misery but I'm still hanging in there. I hope to use what I have gone through to help others and educate people about the toxins in our products. I want out of this community because I am so tired of the fragrant stuff peoples dryers are emmiting in the air and the mobile home is not air tight and it comes in our home. It's the same when people burn. They burn their trash and it makes me so sick. I have to stay under a pruifier in my room. Also I took the carpet up in my room and am now stuck with particle board in it. If I am not able to take care of things it will not get done. I will get out one way or the other. I'm trying so hard to find someone with MCS that may have a room to spare for a bit till I can get my home straightened out or find somewhere else to live. I wish there was some assistance to help us get out of this mess.
