Living with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Disorder

I have multiple chemical sensitivity disorder: Cigarette 🚬 smoke (even in MINUTE AMOUNTS!) makes me so weak & shaky, I have to stay in bed for days on end. I wish I could meet someone else who has this same condition.

I have this condition. It causes my chest to tighten. I have trouble breathing. It makes me feel really tired, and I have to rest and sleep a lot to recover.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Does cigarette smoke affect you the most? I'm also affected by cigarette smoke, perfume, chimney smoke, gasoline and the list goes on. I get a range of symptoms. MCS is definitely difficult to live with.

Cigarette smoke and plug-ins affect me the worst. I also react to fragrance, and I have an allergy to acrylates (microplastics). I’ve found that microplastics are in a lot of things like all beauty products, hand sanitizer, cigarette butts, perfume and the list goes on. — My symptoms range from chest tightness, trouble breathing, itchy eyes, itchy all over, pins and needle feeling, chronic fatigue, and I’ve also experienced rashes. — I was a cosmetologist, and that’s how I developed my allergy.
