I've read that FM is called ME and that lots of CFS and FM folks have multiple sensitivities too. I usually think that I don't fit into that category. But I do have a problem with bleach/ chlorine. On occasion when I use it in the household, it can really bother me, and when I attended my son's swim meets I could hardly stand to be in the pool room, the fumes/odor of the chlorine was so strong. It leaves me with an awful feeling and taste and lingering smell, gives me headaches and all that.
Well, I had to stop using tampons way back when because the string would burn me. For a time I was using cloth pads, but I just am not into doing that right now. I try to purchase Naturacare products, but sometimes I don't bother. Last month, I actually got a bunch of burn marks along the perimeter of a pad. OW! So I headed out to a Wegmans' grocery and paid over $7 for a box of the naturacare. Today I ordered online at LuckyVitamin and they were about $3.50 a box. Why do we have to put up with all the garbage the big guys are making and mass marketing??
anyone else with this complaint?

Is that true about FMS messing up your periods? I've always had irregular periods and found it really strange; my periods are often one or two weeks off, and i go some months without any at all. A few months back, I was on for almost 6 weeks, I thought it was down to anemia but this could be a more realistic (and, to me, less worrying) answer. I've never heard of that though. (like I said elsewhere, I was only diagnosed in June)
