Jana, I am just like you with severe asthma. Any smell can set it off. I have not had a bad attack since I replaced my household cleaners with eco-friendly cleaners. Even the smell of a whiteboard marker will start me choking.

My skin is just as sensitive too. I can only wear cotton or have cotton touch my skin. I get eczema or contact dermatitis easily. I have finally found a watch band that does not give me a rash, it is made of nylon. In fact, my MG symptoms happened after surgery where they used mesh to repair a herniated organ. I keep wondering if that somehow brought on the MG.

Ginnie, I use the washable air filters too and I can feel the difference. I also have my duct work cleaned every couple of years and can feel the difference then as well.

I am probably not as diligent as I should be with the food. I only buy organic when it is on sale and I have to admit I eat frozen prepared meals.
