anyone else suffer from MCS Multiple Chemical Sensitivities?

[Thirties Child]

10. A good friend with MCS has written a novel based on her experiences with the illness.

After 30 years of organic food, special diets, supplements, designing and building a chemically free house, she is finally able to live a fairly normal life.

Her name is Diane Thomas and the novel is In Wilderness. It's the story of a high-powered advertising executive who is sickened by insecticide in the mid 60s. She is dying from what was then an unexplained illness and retreats to a cabin in the Appalachians to die. She eats what she grows, lives pure and simple, and begins to recover. She meets a young Vietnam veteran, suffering from PTSD, who has also retreated to the mountains. The publication date is March 3.

Btw, she's 72 and a good, good Democrat.
