I’m not sure I have an allergy truth to tell. I did try anti-histaminic tablet in the past, without much success. So I was reading about allergy, to see if I could make a more educated lay man guess as to whether what I have is an allergy at all or not, when I stumbled upon those 2 articles: on MSC, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, and more on MCS, the end of controversy. And I just find a short bio of the author (Martin Pall) on California Institute of Technology member’s list, a good sign! smile_teeth

Well they both come from the same source so I don’t know how valid they are, but they quite fit my problem. Car exhaust, which I experimentally know to be the cause of my troubles was mentioned multiple time. Wikipedia confirmed that MCS is known about although it is “controversial” (unfortunately).

Anyway, what get me really excited… not just excited, really high! Not only symptoms and causes seems to be a reasonable match, but there is a link in the article on things that can be done to improve life quality: suggestion of treatments (it still an early research phase but there are some simple idea I can try now, today, immediately!!) and the author also has a book on the topic with much more information!

Maybe a new phase of my life is coming soon… Ho I’m so excited, Auuum… Let’s hope… smile_sarcastic
