May greetings to you -- it's Multiple Chemical Sensitivities Month!
How does it feel to be the messenger of an undesirable message?
Terrible.
It's like being patted on the back as an esteemed member of whatever "group" one yearns to belong to, and then being shunned with the unspoken message, "But we didn't know you were like that."
Yes, we humans have trials -- but we do not become our trials! We are still human beings with hopes and dreams just like the rest of our fellow humans. Our humanity, however scarred, still operates the same way.
If you are new to the issue of toxic injury/multiple chemical sensitivity, please read through the following brief overview and MCS story written by leading chemical sensitivity and disability advocate, Ann McCampbell, M.D., Environmental Health and Chemical Sensitivity Consultant:
"My MCS Story" by Ann McCampbell, M.D.
I so much relate to several aspects of this story, especially the "once having been completely well" part! (Thank you, Dr. McCampbell.)
And please, if you can, pass on this excellent overview and personal MCS story to others. Thank you!
Cheers!
~ Carolyn
