Javan999, I did a search of "environmental illness" and this article and your comment came up. I am reading an outstanding book titled "A More Excellent Way" by Henry Wright, and wanted to research some of Mr. Wright's information, because if he is right, and I suspect for the most part he is, it is an amazing answer to alot of our illnesses. You said in your comment that you pray to God for wellness. Henry Wright approaches disease & healing by way of Biblical scripture, and claims an almost unbelievable percent of healings for not only your condition, but many others. The Lord has led me down this path (of which I am extremely grateful) for some reason. I suspect for my own health, the health of my 26 year old son who has ulcerative colitis, and who knows who else. The answer to healing and good health is found in forgiveness. The forgiveness God gives a repentent heart, our forgiveness of ALL who have wronged us and our forgiveness of ourselves. Please give the book a try. It's free if you borrow from your library or ask them to interlibrary loan it for you. I have read my Bible almost every day for the last 18 years, but this book still opened my eyes. Please don't give up. You are important and your life, no matter how it feels right now, has meaning and a reason why you're here. I will be praying for you and putting my trust in God's amazing ways.

Thank you SO much for putting that article together. I have a 'Neuroimmune' condition, or also known as MCS, Chronic Fatigue, etc. I've had it for 7 years now. I'm only 26, and I'm male.

I had a SPECT scan which observed this process taking place. I'm on disability and I often feel as though I can't go on and often times consider suicide. It is beyond difficult to get people to understand and/or believe this condition. As real as I am sitting here this disease does exist. i sometimes feel like I'm in a really bad nigthtmare and am hoping that some day I will wake up. However the realization is that I don't wake up- this is real, as unbelievable as it is for myself or others.

I would give ANYTHING to get well and better. The dysfunction and lack of even being able to take a shower, go to the store or much less have friends is beyond difficult. I would literally, and truly give my legs or arms just to be healed by this- at least then i would be taken seriously and something could be done to help 'address' the problem then... I would also feel so much better.

I struggle to find ways to manage and possible get better but I haven't had much sucess. I've had to move around to try to find a cleaner area, but with little to no success. I can honestly say that what I am most afraid of is that I won't be alive within a year. If things continue like they have for the last 7 years I don't see how I can continue going on... I would rather just die than be stuck with this never ending hell in which no matter how hard I seem to struggle I never can get out of.

I pray to God that there may be a break through and I might once again be well.

Thank you so much for putting this article together...
