What's in a name?

So I thought I would share some of the different names for MCS. I hope you find this video educational!

So it has been a couple of rough days for me, and I thought I should make a video to share a bit about that.

Woo-hoo! We have made it to the 25% mark of the fundraiser! I am so thrilled, and honored for all of the help. Thank you all so very much and let's keep with the prayers, shares and donations!
God bless you and yours

Well folks, I thought I would make a quick stop by here to let any of my readers know that I am going to have to push the date of the trip to Dallas back by a couple of months. I am now aiming for June. The fundraising was not going very quickly and I would still have school to try to power through while sick if I went in March. So it just made more sense to move it to June. Thanks for reading my blog, and please keep me in  your prayers.
God bless you and yours

Now for the June videos:
It looks like I have three days in a row showing the before and after of going out in the public.

WATCHED

Then the next day:



And the next day. Boy, do I have some interesting expressions on these stills!

So this is the very first video I made back in May of 2014. My goal with the videos was to have some that showed me feeling normal and some that showed what it was like for me to be triggered. I will probably not upload all of them simply because I doubt that most people want to see that much of my boring life. *GRIN* I know I sure don't. So, on to the first video. It is very shaky and there is a lot of movement, and I apologize about that right up front. If you have any questions, please let me know.

WATCHED

And here is the next day. I can see a bit of difference, but it isn't too drastic.

WATCHED

Now, this one is five days later and I can see a BIG difference between this one and the first one up above.

WATCHED

I find it very interesting to look at myself when I am triggered. I remember looking kind of like that back during my wild mis-spent youth...back when I smoked pot. That is kind of how I looked. Just a note here: I have 22 years of sobriety this year, so while I don't celebrate my past, I don't hide it either. So that is kind of my disclaimer there. In any case, these are the videos from May of 2014. Thanks for watching!

Hi and welcome to The Girl in the Bubble, a blog about what it is like living with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and all that entails. I hope to talk about my day to day life, my Go Fund Me campaign trying to raise the money for me to get to a medical specialist in Dallas in just a few weeks, as well as some videos showing what MCS does to me. Just the title of the disorder alone sounds like I am just "sensitive" like I break out in a little rash or something. I wish that was all there is to it. The name is very misleading and there is talk within the MCS community of changing the title to something else, but that is a post for another day. For now, please take a moment to go to my fundraiser where you can read all about what happened to bring me to this point, and how we are doing on the fundraiser. (The link is below my name.) More to come, soon!
God bless you and yours
