During our lives we suffer several metamorphoses, some are painful,others are positive, chosen or not. The experience, the life itself,makes us change and evolve.My story is not different, although my most radical metamorphosis was when I fell ill with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. But although Igot sick suddenly, the process itself happened slowly. I was preparingfor MCS for many years before I was aware of it. My body was warning me repeatedly without my understanding what it wanted totell me. But how could I know that everything happening to me wasthe prelude to MCS? It’s almost impossible to know since informationabout MCS is kept secret from the public and when anyone dares toraise a voice, they are automatically silenced by those who say MCSis all in the minds of the patients.It’s not easy to understand what happens to you as you search for a diagnosis, all the while trying not to fail during the long journey while you are riddled with attempts to damage your self-esteem as youstruggle with a more diminished health status every day. The last stage of this particular metamorphosis happens when you finally know what it is happening: you have MCS. And then you start toreconsider the life you have known before in order to adapt yourself and to survive into the future. All of us have gone through the stage of crying over things that wehave lost, to hate what we have become. Where is that tireless andimpulsive person who took the world by storm? It’s a natural, healthy and necessary stage. But oddly, then comes the most difficult thing:to find our place in this new world in which we’re doomed to live.
