    It sounds like you have developed Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) I
    think that's right. Anyway, it's when you developed an allergy, even over
    time that attacks your immune system severely. It's a big deal health-wise.
    You can be at risk for developing allergies big time, to a lot of things you
    might not have been allergic to at all. I'm sure I have read info on it on
    the internet. It's listed under chronic pain/health problems. I don't know
    about treatments. I'd definitely try and stop all clay while you peruse the
    matter. A friend of mine had this about 10 years ago. It took about a year
    to diagnose and she ended up being allergic to latex(went into shock) and
    had never been allergic before.

    Good luck, I will keep a positive thought for you.
