The weirdest symptom I've had so far happened last night. Every time I laid down I smelled this strong pungent smell (like saurkraut that had gone bad). It was bad enough that I had to get up to throw up. It went away when I sat up or stood up so I slept sitting up. My temperature was 99.2 (my norm is 98.4) at the time. I sweated suddenly this morning and my temp went down to 98.6. I also had crazy dreams, felt like the mattress was being moved but nobody was there, and when I opened my eyes to see if my BF was getting into bed I saw a weird fireworks like things spewing from the air conditioners (which I could tell were not real even though I was definitely seeing them).
I found and started 1000mcg of methylcobalamin so hopefully some of the weirder things will resolve soon. sigh....

I copied and pasted this......
A doctor makes the diagnosis of multiple chemical sensitivity based on the symptoms. The diagnosis is supported if the symptoms recur after repeated exposure to the chemical substance; recur after exposure to levels much lower than those that have been tolerated previously or that are commonly tolerated by others; subside when the person leaves the offending environment; and develop in response to a wide variety of unrelated chemical substances.
A blood test may be performed to measure red and white blood cell counts and antibody levels but is of no proven value and to rule out a true allergy.
My testing was done this way, I did some blood allergy testing because I asked for it to be done.
So don't worry about any needles, you don't have to do the blood work.
Also early in MCS you scent of smell is heighten, I was able to smell all kinds of things and others couldn't (my family though I was going crazy). I still go crazy over smelling things and one one else can smell it.
I don't know if this is the same as what your talking about but I have a feeling like I'm floating or that the bed is floating a lot when I lay down and close my eyes.
~~~~LOL, to show you how well I can smell things. My son put a empty bottle of mouth wash, no cap on the bottle (Tom's of Main Cinnamint) in a zip lock bag, sealed it and brought it into the office just now, and I could smell it before he even got all the way over to me.
