im a tough cookie, im stubborn, ive been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, MS, chronic fatigue, chronic migraine, the way ive always dealt with these things (pain mental and physical) is exercise and keeping busy, i actually stopped the fibromyalgia pain with exercise and diet, now i cant even walk without itching, sneezing, runny nose, tight sore chest, i have no way to help myself, even cleaning triggers it as bleach and chemicals make me ill, sorry for moaning just so depressed x

    Hey Toria....

    Please don't throw in the towel! Ask God for help, & continue to eat well, exercise, limit your intake of sugar, limit your intake of white foods, (hence: white bread, pasta, etc.). You can do this! You are an overcomer! Regarding cleaning your humble abode, use natural cleaners, if at all possible! I like Fabuloso, it smells great and doesn't have a lot of chemicals in it!

    Be well,

    Vivian

    Hi Toria ,

    Dear Toria,

    "Nothing is permanent. Don't stress yourself too much because no matter how bad the situation is...it will change."

    This is one of my favorite sayings. It has helped me through a lot of difficult times and I hope it can help you, too. Please hang in there. We are all here for you.

    Be well!

    Dana

    Sorry this is a bit late, I haven't been on here for a while, but have you tried Koh for cleaning? It's basically just some kind of very dilute potassium salt solution. No smell, totally non-toxic. It's very good for removing grease. I haven't found it so amazing in the shower myself, but some people have said if you mix with bicarb it works really well in the shower too.
