As I mentioned before, Pamela Reed Gibson's book is one I found quite helpful.
Unfortunately, due to finances, it is often not an option for people with MCS to buy it.
I just noticed that a 50 page booklet written by her can be viewed online and can be reproduced (for noncommercial use) for free without permission. This guide may be useful to share with health care providers we see who are open to learning/understanding.
Many thanks to Pamela Reed Gibson and ILRU for providing free access to the guide:
Understanding & Accommodating People with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity in Independent Living
http://www.ilru.org/html/publications/bookshelf/MCS.htmlThe 50-page guide is written by Pamela Reed Gibson, Ph.D. published by IL NET, a cooperative National Training and Technical Assistance Project of the Independent Living Research Utilization (ILRU) Program and the National Council on Independent Living.
ILRU is a program of The Institute for Rehabilitation and Research (TIRR), a nationally recognized, freestanding medical rehabilitation facility for persons with physical and cognitive disabilities. TIRR is part of TIRR Systems, which is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to providing a continuum of services to individuals with disabilities.
