By Daniel below in resonse:

I just met with a local attorney in the Youngstown,OH area and
he has told me that because my treating environmental doctor has
said that formaldehyde exposure was the result of my now full-
blown chemical sensitivities, that he would have to prove that
formaldehyde was in my workplace at the time. However, that was
4 1/2 years ago. I tried to get someone in from OSHA at the
time, but they would not come in. However, I explained to this
attorney during this consult that because the claim was
dissallowed in all administrative hearings (OHIO) on the basis
that I had a pre-existing chemical sensitivity to petro-
chemicals. In the Common Pleas Appeal process, I had to have an
IME done by one of the state's medical whores. He now asserts
that I don't have multiple chemical sensitivities.

Now, there are two important points that result from this ruling
and IME report. If the ruling said that I was not disallowed
disability due to the fact that I had a pre-existing chemical
sensity,(by the way, I did not, as all my previous work records,
employer statements would support), then the ruling as
disallowed basically implicated that I was exposed to a
chemical. You cannot disallow something without knowing what it
is you are disallowing.

Second point, the IME. Although the examining doctor is saying
my alleged claim is for Multiple Chemicle Sensitivity, the claim
was actually for Chemical Sensitivies. Anyone who knows this
area certainly is well aware of the distinction put on with the
term "MULTIPLE" in front of the chemical sensitiviy diagnosis.
This is not my diagnosis, yet the IME doctor conveniently puts
that in to the IME report citing different medical studies and
doctors supporting this unaccepted diagnosis.

My point is this. If I was dissallowed based on a pre-existing
chemical sensitivity medical history,(again not true), then how
can the IME doctor come in and say I don't have chemical
sensitivities because according to mainstream medical
literature, such a diagnosis is not accepted as proven?

Anyone care to comment on this please do. I do not feel
comfortable going in to a scheduled common pleas court case to
determine my eligibilty for Ohio Workers' Comp with the
documentation that I have. There is something missing, and I
personally believe that it is in the preceding information I
just supplied.

I believe a second medical opinion is needed to substantiate my
case. I am scheduled to see Dr. William Rea in Texas shortly. He
is probably the most widely renowned expert in the world on
chemical sensitivities. I hope that this additional medical exam
and hopeful medical statement by him will substantially add to
the merits of my claim.
