Subject: RE: BS: Is it mental laziness?
Autoimmune
MCS - multiple chemical sensitivity -
Hit me in spades, starting in May - whatever they put on the fields. That and one thing after another, I have been coughing since May. Sept and Oct I was barely functional, days when I only got out of bed for the bare essentials.
Then one day I started feeling like me again and WOW - I really was not being lazy all that time. I really was sick. did not know how sick until I started feeling good. A major air cleaner in my living space after it was closed off from the rest of the mold infested building...
But, being on the computer long periods does take a toll on the eyes. The brain damage from exposure to environmental toxins does cause difficulty thinking clearly, reading serious literature and, certainly, writing well.
I now have a mask to wear in places like hardware stores and any place where the airborne particulate is going to get to my brain and make me sicker.
