Re: They Want To Crucify Me 2
Posted by Mary on 3/26/03
Welcome back from vacation. I hope you had a relaxing and
healthful time. It has been suggested by others that perhaps
my initial response was a tad harsh, and that I should focus
on using less sarcastic means of communication. So, here is
what I think:
Your writing suggests to me that you may not be rational. I
think seeking solutions at a website designed by lawyers to
troll for plaintiffs is a bad idea and you should reconsider
your approach. I suggest you consider that the vast majority
of
public health authorities doubt that MCS is real. While this
fact may trouble you, and may upset those with contrary
opinions, it remains a reality. And, dear writer, because of
this reality, you are potentially dealing with those on the
fringes, some of whom may be seeking to exploit you.
So please be careful.
And... to address YOUR questions:
No, I don't think we've met. I don't believe I know you, but
that may be redundant, given your first question. I have no
guilt. Yes, from time to time I believe I probably do torment
the 'mcs'ers', though that strikes me as an odd way to
describe yourself. May I suggest, 'person with an illness
difficult to fully characterize'. Unfairness? See above
response. Asked me? Well, go check the messages and I think
you asked the whole world, via your posting. See, that is the
way this internet thing works. Helpful response from others?
What helpful response, unless you consider my very, very sound
advice, as summarized above. No, I don't have MCS. I believe
MCS is not a valid characterization of an illness, but I know
that not everyone agrees with me. I believe your assertion
that everyone gets effected sooner or later is a false and
unsupportable conclusion.
So, that is what I think and how I am doing. I know that Pat
may be upset with me (or perhaps not), but I'm really trying
to be objective here.
Now that we have all of that out in the open, tell me, if you
don't mind that is, what your next move is. Does this approach
really seem to be helping you improve your health, or find a
job?
Best regards,
Mary
