Hello ladies, I haven't posted on this forum but was glad to find all of you, I'd really appreciate any and all advice from anyone who is suffering like I am.

I've been suffering from Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Disorder for the last couple of years, but it has progressed alot lately, and really impacted my life. I also have Fibromyalgia (have had that for many years previous), and recently been diagnosed with stenosis and degenerative disc disease throughout my spine - my doc says I have an "old" spine but I'm not THAT old!! It's scary because my MRIs keeps getting progessively worse with the arthritis, and I'm beginning to think it's tied in with the MCS.

I live in an area that has been overloaded with pesticides, herbicides and fungicides on our property - I can't stop our condo association from dumping it. Two years ago I started getting migraines, neurological symptoms - RSD, raynauds, mood swings, then the arthritis - I would feel better when I left my condo property and get worse when I came home. Now I just feel sick all the time.

I wonder if anybody can help me, since I live in southern CA, and have tried to find an area that isn't being overwhelmed by pesticides - I don't do well, as you can imagine, in cold weather, and I'm hoping for some help if anybody has my condition, or knows of my condition, if you can suggest where my dh and I can look into moving. It's hard, when you're sick, and your dh is the sole breadwinner, to figure out where a good environment might be, where people care about what they do to their neighborhoods. I also need to be in an area close to a high quality medical center, with all my needs.

Thanks in advance, I appreciate your feedback. I will check this board as much as I can throughout the weekend. Take care, all!
