Hi guys, I’m happy to share with you my first published interview: ‘New Beginnings—No Turning Back’, an interview with Kathryn Treat, author of Allergic to Life: My Battle for Survival, Courage and Hope. It appeared in AESSRA’s December issue of Sensitivity Matters Magazine. It appeared in the December issue of  AESSRA’s Sensitivity Matters Magazine. Sadly, as some of you may already know (and I’m sorry to tell you this if you don’t know already), Treat passed away last December from a stroke. I don’t know if it was related to her illness but I do know she courageously battled and came out on top of a chronic health condition that caused her to be chemically sensitive to moulds and other known chemical irritants. And she managed it all exceedingly well. Her life, and the way she lived it, is an inspiration for us all.

About sondasmcschatter

I was encouraged to start a blog as I suffer from MCS /multi chemical sensitivities & other health problems & I have helped several hundred others who suffer from MCS set up "Safe Homes" & given them encouragement & HOPE & share information & lots of laughs along the way also. When you choose to use fragrances, chemicals, or pesticides, You are not simply making a choice for yourself, You are making a choice for everyone around you!!!! What makes me an expert on MCS-- not a darn thing-- BUT have lived with it for years-& years- & have learned lots the HARD WAY-- by experience!! And want to give others help & HOPE & encouragement -- as I know there are not many who understand what it is to live with this illness- & ALL THAT GOES WITH IT!!! Internet has been my way of communication with many who we are confined to their "safe homes" all over the USA & other countries!! I have communicated with many HUNDRED by e-mail-- phone & letters & internet forums-- I hope this blog will help in a better way to share laughter-- hope & information!!! As for many are not any longer able to even leave their homes-- & communication is sooo important & sharing & encouragement & GIVING HOPE!!!
