I have hte same problem, but mine seems to make me anxiety when i smell most offensive/strong odors like perfume, lotion, laundry products, oh basically eveyrthing you can't avoid really.
. However I mainly get trouble breathing because of those odors and a severe stuffy nose. I've read stories where peole claim anti-depressents may acutally help us cause tis supposedly all in our head from some disorder. I've tried a few anti-depresseants and taht didn't seem to work. For all of you with MCS, is yours year round and sometimes your tolerance is acutally better and sometimes worse? For me it seems as though sometimes i can sort of deal with some odors and other times it will drive me nuts. Most times when i bring MCS with a doctor, most won't know what it is or heard of it.
Sensitivity to all odors and smells. 
I cannot be around anything with a scent. Can anyone tell me if they have this same problem. Perfume, any chemicals, any petroleum base product, bar soap, laundry soap, smoke, cleaners, anything and I feel like someone hits me with a baseball bat in my forehead. My right arm goes dead and just pains for hours. I have lost most of my strength in that arm. All the nerves in my mouth will throub. My cat scan on my nose was fine. I cannot go anywhere and I am in pain from smelling something. I worked in a PVC plastic plant when this started. The PVC was toxic when burnt and I was breathing it in. The neurologist put me on Topamax. Expensive, and you don't even know who you are when on it. He said he has seen several people with this problem and it affects one side of the body. I read where an ENT doctor can put a light in your nose and check you. Does anyone know what he is looking at or for? I mostly stay at home because everywhere I go I am in pain from smelling something. Would appreciate any info from someone.
