 Uh, part one?
Always sensitive to chemicals, I remember in kindergarten, they wantd us to sit at a big table and paint. I kept circling the table, but all the chairs were full, except one with a big plate of black paint (I know now that black dyes tend to be the most toxic.) When i got near it, I felt like I'd throw up, so I kept backing away. The teachers kept saying, "Sit down, sit down." So I did, and puked all over the table.
Lots of what do you call it, yeast infections in college. LOTS. Bad, bad periods. Then, after college, worked in a sick building -- made me so tired and depressed. Had a few weird episodes that were like seizures, and some like panic attacks, when I'd be in fumey places.
Then: I moved home, to finally get on anti-depressants. Age 30. I told my doctor, "Every time I go out in public, I get the flu the next day." he sent me to allergists, who said I had Environmental Illness. Avoid synthetic chemicals (good luck!)
Got an apartment near a hospital, felt AWFUL most of the time. Terrible pelvic pain, couldn't WALK, nauseated, dizzy.... turned out the hospital was burning all its garbage without a filter. I got bad endometriosis from the PCBs. Had laparoscopy, got worse, much worse. Tried everything for the pain, eventually went on painkillers.
Whoops, I'm exhausted, didn't even get to the morgellons!  |
