Hello!

Post: # 33167Post Mamf »

Hi all,

Having lurked here for a while I thought I'd pluck up the courage to say hello to you all, so - hello!

Have recently been diagnosed with CFS / ME and have been trying to lead as much of a chemical free & organic life as I can, although the more I find out about the nasties in things the more I think I scare my husband!

Am also scarily obsessed by my tomatoes....

Love to all

Sam

Hi Sam,
I also have CFS & have taken the route of removing nasty chemicals from my house. It has certainly reduced the number of headaches I get, but is still an ongoing process so could be more to be gained as things are used up & replaced with natural products.

My route to a SSish lifestyle has been hastened by being forced to stop work, so needing to save money. Unfortunately the illness means I can't do a lot of the more physical work, but I can direct others :lol:

I've was diagnosed over 2yrs ago, so if I can be of any help all you have to do is ask.

Lisa

G'Day Sam,

Welocme to the site.

I understand your fascination with tomatoes, I used to go by the name of "High Priest of the Choko worshippers".................... :shock:

hello and welcome, I hope that you will find the more selfsufficientish you become the more you will find that it is not that difficult to stay away from chemicals.
