MCS

I am so glad to see a response from the church on this issue. I have struggled with MCS for almost 20 years. I was so ill at one point that I could not go anywhere--the price to my health was too high. A week or more in bed was not worth it. I was rarely able to attend any church meetings

I know she did ... she copied me on the email. Thanks for your comment. What we need to do is gather all the MCS sufferers we can find together and start campaigning actively with the church as well as searching for any research on the topic that we can find to support our experiences. The more members of the Church they hear from, and the more research we can back it up with, the more likely that this will be addressed by the brethren. It would help immensely if you could get as many people as you can to email Brother Phillips.

I hope together we can make a difference here. We certainly can't, any of us, do it alone!

Information I sent to Christopher Phillips

[anonymous]

I got this link from Christine (my sister)and I sent off a long email telling my story and adding some links to support groups around the nation along with some stories and forums that address questions (often forums about allergies and asthma). I was in a support group in WA at one point when I lived there but don't know of one in UT, where I live now.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know.
