Although mainstream doctors are beginning to entertain the thought that there might be a new syndrome afoot, most offer little support. Most doctors are at a loss because there is no magic pill or single treatment that can cure the long list of complaints and symptoms. The chemically afflicted are finding help, however, from doctors who have found themselves similarly afflicted. These canary doctors are just starting to write and publish their experiences and findings. Realizing there will never be a magic bullet to restore their patients to perfect health most sympathetic doctors are advising their patients to remove themselves from possible contaminate exposure and focus on rebuilding their immune system.
Social relations are precarious and complicated for the chemically-challenged.
When traveling and staying in motels or with relatives, the best defense is to bring your own towels and bed linens and immediately air the room where you will be sleeping. Remove all air-freshener products, soaps, and sprays. If possible, have someone else do this for you. Tell the desk clerk and maids that you will not be needing linen service or restocking of supplies during your stay. As a former maid, I can say they will not mind at all, but you may have to remind them with a note as room assignment duties are rotated daily.
