Canary in the Home is my personal journal of a journey that started May 13, 2014. The day everything went sideways and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I believe I have a terrible case of environmental sensitivity and this is my story.

Chemical Sensitivities

So there I was, trying to sort out what was going on in my life... I remember coming across the words chemical sensitivity while looking for answers to my health challenges. 

What did it mean?

Where did it lead me?

It was a surprise to see that there was a lack of information, and to read that there was no real treatment to treat the symptoms. And as I kept going, in some cases people were even saying it was unproven from a medical standpoint. 

I know one doctor that I had met with on my journey for answers actually referred me to a psychiatrist.  No one took this seriously.

I was in awe…. It couldn’t be that no one had proven that chemicals were bad for you before?

 In a world surrounded with items, we know little about how they impact the health of the individual, and its time to question how we live. I can assure you it is a lot easier to commit the time now before something happens, rather than trying to sort it out in the middle of a crisis.
