Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome is marked by multiple symptoms in multiple organ systems (usually the neurological, immune, respiratory, skin, "GI," and/or musculoskeletal) that recur chronic-ally in response to multiple chemical exposures. MCS usually starts with either an acute or chronic toxic exposure, after which this initial sensitivity broadens to include many other chemicals and common irritants (pesticides, perfumes and other scented products, fuels, food additives, carpets, building materials, etc.). MCS Symptoms commonly include difficulty breathing, sleeping and/or concentrating, memory loss, migraines, nausea, abdominal pain, chronic fatigue, aching joints and muscles, and irritated eyes, nose, ears, throat and/or skin. In addition, some with MCS show impaired balance and increased sensitivity not just to odors but also to loud noises, bright lights, touch, extremes of heat and cold, and electromagnetic fields. MCS Studies show about 2/3 of those with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia also have MCS (and vice versa), as do 1/2 of those with allergies. Like CFS, MCS is more common in women and can start at any age, but usually begins in late puberty to mid-life. There is no unique test for MCS, but immune, porphyrin, EEG, balance, and SPECT scan abnormalities are common.

MCS Allergy Books CRT probs ... Body temp MCS What Is It Really? MCS stands for Multiple Chemcial Sensitivities, also known as Environmental Illness. It is allergic reactions to chemicals, often not clearly antibody driven. Symptoms can be quite bizzare, from sneezing to loosing the ability to do math, "brain fog", or even progressive coordination imparement. This is often "simply" due to the inability of the body to clear various toxins, be they from the chemicals we use in our daily lives, or from the toxins formed by various infections, infestations, etc. within our bodies. But this apparent simplicity belies a host of complex interlocking underlaying causes and systems involved. There have been tales of sometimes spectacular successes in treating MCS, but when one talks with the "cured" person some months or years later, one finds the success did not restore health all the way, or sometimes, did not do very much at all despite early good feelings. Why? What is this thing called MCS really about? The problem is that these ailments are often not simple problems with single point cures. It is often a Whole Big Mess of things going wrong and causeing other things to go wrong. With many of the victims having several problems at once, few are treated for the total impact, often resulting in only temporary cures which are later followed by "unrelated" ailments or lingering symptoms.

U.S. Department of Labor www.osha.gov MyOSHA [skip navigational links] Search Advanced Search A-Z Index Safety and Health Topics Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS) Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS) is a highly controversial issue. In theory, MCS is an adverse physical reaction to low levels of many common chemicals. Chemical sensitivity is generally accepted as a reaction to chemicals but debate continues on whether MCS is classifiable as an illness. There are a number of synonyms for MCS, including 20th century disease, environmental illness, total allergy syndrome, idiopathic environmental illness and chemical AIDS. Proposed theories to explain the cause of MCS include allergy, dysfunction of the immune system, neurobiological sensitization, and various psychological theories. There is insufficient scientific evidence to confirm a relationship between any of these possible causes and symptoms. Due to the lack of definite information an evaluation must be performed by a physician knowledgeable of the symptoms of this condition. The following commonly asked questions link to resources that provide information about MCS. What is multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS)?

36. Allergies: Multiple Chemical Sensitivity - NIEHS Alphabetical Listing Of Health Answers to some common environmental questions from NIEHS, the National Instituteof Environmental Health Sciences, which conducts basic research on http://www.niehs.nih.gov/external/faq/allergy.htm

Skip Navigation Home Search Employee Locator ... Z Allergies: Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Question: Two years ago there was a chemical spill at my workplace, and many of my co-workers and I became ill immediately after the exposure. Since then, I haven't been the same. It feels like I can't think as clearly now, and I seem to be allergic to almost everything, including perfumes, cosmetics, detergents and household cleaning products. I heard about multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) on a radio talk show, and I think I am chemically sensitive. When I asked my doctor about MCS, he didn't have much to say about it. What can you tell me about multiple chemical sensitivity? Answer: I can tell you that multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) is something of a medical mystery. The medical community is divided over whether or not MCS actually exists. Some physicians acknowledge MCS as a medical disorder that is triggered by exposures to chemicals in the environment, often beginning with a short term, severe chemical exposure (like a chemical spill) or with a longer term, small exposures (like a poorly ventilated office building). After the initial exposure, low levels of everyday chemicals such as those found in cosmetics, soaps, and newspaper inks can trigger physical reactions in MCS patients. These patients report a range of symptoms that often include headaches, rashes, asthma, depression, muscle andjoint aches, fatigue, memory loss, and confusion. Others in the medical community, however, do not accept MCS as a genuine medical disorder. The Centers for Disease Control, for example, do not recognize MCS as a clinical diagnosis. There is no official medical definition of MCS, partially because symptoms and chemical exposures are often unique and are widely varied between individuals. Some physicians are skeptical of concluding that low concentrations of the same chemicals that are tolerated by everyone else can cause dramatic symptoms in MCS patients. The American Medical Association denies that MCS is a clinical condition because conclusive scientific evidence is lacking.

Skip Navigation Home Search Employee Locator ... Z Multiple Chemical Sensitivities Syndrome (MCSS) Question: What is it and What is Known About MCSS? Answer: Actually, the preferred medical term is Idiopathic Environmental Intolerance (IEI), which can be defined as a "chronic, recurring disease caused by a person's inability to tolerate an environmental chemical or class of foreign chemicals." Six criteria of IEI Several years ago a committee of experts in thie field decided upon a consensus as to what "qualifies" the patient as truly having IEI [Arch Environ Health 1999; 54: 147]. Six criteria were decided upon: Symptoms are reproducible with repeated (chemical) exposures. The condition is chronic. Low levels of exposure (lower than previously or commonly tolerated) result in manifestations of the syndrome (i.e. increased sensitivity). The symptoms improve, or resolve completely, when the triggering chemicals are removed. Responses often occur to multiple chemically-unrelated substances. Symptoms involve multiple-organ symptoms (runny nose, itchy eyes, headache, scratchy throat, ear ache, scalp pain, mental confusion or sleepiness, palpitations of the heart, upset stomach, nausea and/or diarrhea, abdominal cramping, aching joints).

Home Kontakt Forum MCS-Patiententelefon Tel.: 0921-23582 Mo 10-11 Uhr / Do 18-20 Uhr Willkommen bei der Deutschen Gesellschaft Multiple-Chemical-Sensitivity e.V. ->MCS-World-Network ->TILT-Vasculitis; ->Katrina: Red Cross Donate ->Red Cross Family Network Auf diesen Webseiten finden Sie Informationen zum "MCS-Syndrom", zur "Elektrosensibilität" und zur "Hyperosmie" (Geruchsempfindlichkeit). Die Patientenberatungsstelle der DGMCS ist von allen Bundesverbänden der Gesetzlichen Krankenkassen nach dem Sozialgesetzbuch mit Bescheid anerkannt. Es handelt sich um die einzige Beratungsstelle dieser Art in Deutschland. Unsere telefonische Beratungsstelle ist oftmals überlastet und Sie sollten mehrfach versuchen einen Gesprächspartner zu erreichen. Bitte lesen Sie zunächst nachstehende Hinweise durch. Sie finden darin Antworten zu immer wieder auftretenden Fragen. Dadurch verkürzt sich die Beratungszeit erheblich und wir können uns auf Ihre individuellen Probleme konzentrieren. Bitte beachten Sie die "MCS-Fallkriterien". Danach gehören andere Krankheiten (wie klass. Allergien, Angststörungen, Psychosomatische Erkrankungen) nicht zum MCS-Syndrom. Auch Ärzte und Gutachter beachten leider nicht immer die "MCS-Fallkriterien" und deshalb ist es notwendig, dass Sie zu Beginn des Beratungsge- spräches zunächst die Symptomatik genau schildern, damit eine Plausibilitätsprüfung möglich ist, d.h. auch wenn Sie von einem Arzt ein MCS-Attest oder einen MCS-Pass erhalten haben ist es möglich, dass Ihre Gesundheitsstörung gar nicht zum MCS-Syndrom rechnet. Die DGMCS gibt keinen Vordruck "MCS-Pass" heraus. Die in verschiedenen Formularen "MCS-Pass" abgedruckten Standardtexte halten wir im Hinblick auf die individuell ausgeprägte Symptomatik für unseriös und nicht praktikabel. Individuell ausgeprägt sind die Begleitsymptome übrigens nicht nur beim MCS-Syndrom, sondern auch bei Migräne, Hyperosmie und Asthma.
