Paula,
my MCS is exactly that; and i can't deal with supplements either. unless i take
them infrequently. if i could take all the great stuff that is rec. by
Teitelbaum and others, i prob. wouldn't be this sick. however...taking them is
severe punishment. including antiyeast stuff. so my task is to figure out how
to kill what's infesting me without killing ME, no easy task. most docs think i
am making myself this sick, and who am i to contest that. it's a tricky
tightrope to navigate. sorry to be such a wet blanket. and thanks for your
thoughts.

Sara,
If you have been taking antibiotics for an extended period like you say, then
you probably have developed a yeast problem. Systemic Candida does cause
increased sensitivities. You might need to look into taking probiotics for an
extended period of time. Also, often Thyroid and Adrenal problems are
intertwined. If your Adrenals are not functioning properly or weak you won't be
able to handle more Thyroid supplement even if your Thyroid is hypo. That is
the problem that I had. You really need a doctor that understands natural
medicine. You can't fix some of this stuff with drugs (in my opinion). You
might get the book by Dr. Tittlebaum,- Fatigued to Fantastic. He talks about a
lot of your issues. I took his supplement for Adrenals and it helped me a lot.

Subject: CS>OT > multiple chemical sensitivity and infections?
Greetings all,
brand new member, with some big questions. i have severe MCS, probably lyme
disease or any number of infection issues that cause fibromyalgia and other
physical issues. was on Marshall Protocol for a year (basically antibiotics
plus some twists) and killed some bugs judging by Herx reactions (die-off). MCS
is characterized by very slow detox by the liver etc. So herxing is a lot
harder.
Now that i am off the MP, getting back to "normal", having a MAJOR flare
of body pain, and more sensitivities to the water and basic food items, such as
vegetable oils.
i desperately want to know about people's use of CS for stuff like this,
and any issues with sensitivities too. i don't have normal allergies, and react
to every drug or nutrient or supplement when used repeatedly.
thank you very much!
sara
