[color:"blue"] No, Russ..I'm not angry about this ... that doesn't solve anything. I had spent time replying but during the few edits somehow the whole post vanished !

I have learned to work around this "disability" daily. There are setbacks to often, but I just keep going forward as best I can.

The friends I have made help cheer me also. And I
pay attention now to when I am reacting to chemical fumes. There's now way to avoid thiis other than to remove myself from them as soon as I react.

If my nervous system starts going hay wire I take GABA amino acid & it helps tone it down. I have to air out all layers of clothes in the a.m since fumes seem to end up in them from where I have been each day or evening in OR out of my car.

I freshen up at the lake restroom quickly in the morning & before evening. I keep the interior of my car presentable as well. The aplaca blanket sheds lightly but I have a watercolor natural hair brush i can use to pick them up easily.

I just got a new pair of Dansk clogs shoes & got permission to air them out as long as it takes at a friends place .. till the dye fumes subside. The ones I am wearing have the heels nearly gone & my feet & my feet get wet if in to much surface water . I was not able to enter the store to buy them so the lady brought them outside to me, thankfully.

Where I am on the computer is at an Inn. The mgr. said the Christmas tree that was in the lobby fumes made all the help ill so they [color:"green"] [/color] mgt. have it removed !!! So I 'm not the only one reacting to chemical fumes.

I feel sorrry for everyone here since the Inn is soon to be re-carpeted this month sometime & repainted. From the top floor on down, luckily.. So I won't be able to come inside a very l-o-n-g time afterwards. Formaldehyde takes many monhts to dissipate. In my case, who knows ?

That is the nature of industry in the world anymore. To ignore the obvious. Personal well being of those who line their pockets means little or nothing.Many know contents of their productrs will harm someone.

Would you agree with this? [color:"blue"]
