I watched this, very interesting.   I noticed she had a huge bag full of medications.  I don't know where I got the idea people with MCAD are also allergic to medications which are also chemicals.  I hope she is able to tolerate the tiny house that was donated.  Hopefully they used environmentally friendly materials.

I'm glad attention has been brought to this disorder.

I watched this too, and was also wondering if she is having problems with the fillers in all of her meds.  I hope she gets more help!

most people don't realize all the filler in our meds & when go generic fillers change usually to cornstarch, which can be an issue. i had trouble with original ketitofen script from canada. when i found clark's phamacy in washington that makes his own without filler, no issues & some relief, now over 2 yrs.
