Research is sorely needed, particularly now that the progression
from MCS into diabetes is becoming more noticeable. I received a
quadruple whammy to build up my NO stocks: 3 months premature (NO
treated), DDT every night in my musquito net for a whole year,
Agricultural sprays over the 8000 acres around our home, and
twenty years of two packs of cigarets a day smoked where I grew
up (not by me). No wonder I have gone 'funny'. Unexplained
urticaria for six years (severe vasodilation) with a liberal
prescription over those six years of twice daily Terfenadin (now
a banned substance), which 'may' damage the pancreas. What a
cocktail. No wonder I developed diabetes without genetic reasons
and never having been overweight. Even my daily exercise during
my entire life could not prevent that.
Let there be some research into a 'cure', or at least an
alleviation of the debilitating symptoms of MCS.
