I'm not sure this is the right section for this thread, but I'd really like to hear from people who feel better outside than inside, and hear what you have done about it.
I moved outside my house into a tent on July 5 because we fogged the house with a product that I turned out to be sensitive to (it was supposed to be safe for people with MCS, but we are all different.) I found that I felt much better living outside. Then we took a 3 week trip in August to the Rockies. We tried various hotels and motels, but I got sick, so we ended up doing a lot of tent camping in national and state forests, most of them at primitive campsites. I kept improving, feeling stronger and more energetic. By the end of the trip, I found myself wanting to take hikes! I couldn't tolerate a friend's apartment, and also got sick one day that we went into 5 stores in a small, Colorado town. But I was also bothered by the dust out west, and I had a constant nosebleed from the dry air.
Now I'm back home in Ohio, still unable to tolerate my house, but not doing great, especially since I came inside last night and the night before because of rain with lightening and thunder.
If you've had similar experiences, please reply. I don't really want to be camping but I hate feeling as symptomatic as I am now when I know my body is capable of feeling so much better.
Plus, I'm trying to find a campsite in a semi-arid region that is warm enough for late September and all of October to be outside all the time and close enough to stores where I can buy organic food, and that has hot showers and flush toilets and wifi on the premises, but is also far enough from pollution that I'll feel okay there.
