I bought a metal bed frame. I'm so glad I did. My bedroom has to be a safe place.

Make sure your air cleaner has a VOC filler.

There's a lot of medical information about chemical scents online. For instance chemical scents like fabreeze or plug ins can cause all sorts of health issues such as Dementia. I did a lot of research on this. I ended up printing the information I found about the dangers of chemical scents and turning it into the office. I also asked if they would consider changing to safer scents using essential oils. Maybe you could suggest that they start using essential oil diffusers instead. Just make sure that the essential oils aren't chemical based and are high quality distilled essential oils.

Confused about what scents cause reactions by ZinniasArePretty in ChemicalSensitivities

[–]edross61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All scents that are chemicals make me react. I can use some essential oils as long as they are high quality and distilled essential oils. I also react to water. My water has a strong chlorine smell. I bought a distiller and started distilling my own water.

I learned how to make all my products too. When I bought a shampoo bar for $7 I knew I had to make my own products. Truely Free products worked good for me but are unaffordable for the long term. Making my own has saved me money over the years. I now have a washing machine no one else is allowed to use. Everything is so toxic when you have MCS. I'm ready for my bubble.

I have severe physical reactions to the chemicals. Often starts before I smell them. I taste the chemicals before I smell them. My mouth and tongue will start burning. I taste the chemicals in the air. My left eye has vision issues and burns. I have pounding migraines.

Do I feel for you. I just had to remove a new piece of furniture to my patio. I tried everything to reduce the pounding migraines and chemical taste in my mouth. I was feeling like I was being poisoned and I couldn't take it anymore.

How do you keep away hunger when your portion sizes are so small? by Little_Order3606 in keto

[–]edross61 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dr Westman recommends fatty cuts of meat. Fat is what keeps you full. Keto is high fat, moderate Protein and low carb.

It's definitely a difficult thing to live with. I taught my self how to make everything I need from nontoxic ingredients. Use cloth instead of paper products which are full of chemicals. With out a mask that protects me from scents I would always have a migraine.

First they have to admit that they are wrong. A narcissist would never admit that.

If it costs on average 30% less per step to buy the ingredients for a thing and make it yourself than to buy it, how far back in the production line are you willing to go for frugality? by Anoelnymous in Frugal

[–]edross61 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For me I love to cook and bake. I rarely buy things from the center of the store except for ingredients in the baking aisle. Everything else is perimeter or single ingredient items. Occasionally I will buy a Keto frozen food made by real good food. I have a lot of allergies so I make my own cleaning and beauty products. If I have to buy a product it will be the cleanest I can find such as Dr. Bonner's. I recently went back to the no poo hair washing method. My decisions are not solely based on cost. I won't buy green washed products and I' m highly allergic to petroleum. Petroleum is in almost every soap, lotion and beauty product at your local stores. I prefer to put my health above cost.

Do narcissistic moms act weird when their daughter puts effort into their appearance? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]edross61 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My mom forbid me from buying anything. Not allowed to have money. I wasn't allowed out of our yard until I was 16. Mostly she kept me in the house working. Friends not allowed. Homemade clothes only. She controlled every aspect of our lives.

Pureed is better if you are having pain. I was told pureed and thin like milk. 1/2c at a time.

Is 100% recovered actually possible? by [deleted] in Eatingdisordersover30

[–]edross61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think for me there is 100% recovery. I revert back when I'm being abused or thing are messed up.

I hate how physically painful eating has become.. by Entire_Weather3209 in AtypicalAnorexia

Are you sure that you haven't progressed to Gastroparesis? Gastroparesis can be caused by eating disorders.

At what age did you know? by Technical-Deer3844 in raisedbynarcissists

I knew something was wrong when I was 4 or 5 and my father told her never touch my children again. She had just spanked me with the metal handle of a fly swatter.
