Cool.

So, would that mean that all perfumes have some standard chemicals in them, and that's what they test for? For me, I seem very sensitive to some perfumes/smells, but not others . . . so maybe there is a common thread (chemical) that only appears in some?

How can I talk with others that understand and that can help, I know there's others out there.
At least you guys understand the SX (I have a LOT of the same ones) and the flair ups.

I ran across quite a few resources, but I had to put the whole name in google, "Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, forum". I don't know how good they are, but you might find better one's when you google:
