Hi Jaime,

I wanted to stop by and say hello. I noticed one of your posts regarding people with chronic illness on this wiki. One of my cousins has MS and has been restricted to a wheelchair for about a decade. He can no longer get in or out of the wheelchair without help. I have type1 diabetes, a condition genetically almost identical to MS, but my environmental sensitivities (ES) is far harder to live with than the diabetes since ES is so dependent upon others. I'm now at the stage where exposure to scents (eg. perfume, cologne, scented shampoo, etc.) literally causes a massive explosion of cells, including heart muscle cells. My cardiologists had never before seen anything like it (the angiogram showed pristine clean arteries). Though, the more I read, the more convinced I am that a significant portion of unexplained heart attacks are the result of environmental sensitivities.

Last year a guest to my home, despite having been given unscented soaps and shampoo to use here and having been informed of the importance of being scent-free in my home, decideded to use her heavily scented conditioner anyway. When I confronted her with this, she got in my face and responded "but my hair needs conditioner". She was ejected from my home and told to never return. People seem to be either absolutely wonderful in accommodating people with disabilities or absolutely obnoxious!

Anyway, I'm sure that the 2 of us could get into a lengthy discussion about chronic illness (and perhaps we will some day) but I don't want to forget to invite you to my game. My current code is 9FA6QJ. I hope that you join my WL but will understand if you don't. Like you, I don't have any special abilities. I play on a PC and don't TT to avoid additional computer problems. I gift and visit daily unless circumstances don't make that possible. You can learn more about me on my profile page. 🤗 Jo
