Feel free to call me if you want to talk. I had 7 plus years
of exposure...too much to type..but more than happy to
chat..I have many of the same symptoms you have after all
these years...916-410-5967
PS..had the best mds in our country taking care of my
daughter and myself..Of course..this illness is NOT
acknowledged but I know too many that have the same problems
after all this exposure that we do. Just like Autism and
themisol. I am on DIS>>>completely ruined my life
plans...UNLESS a person has experienced it themselves you
will be considered a hgypochondriac ...its bad!
