Thank you for your reply.

I have being attending a physcotherapist for the last 2 months. It has helped with some of my problems but not all.

The day this all started i got sick and had diarea, disorintated, problems with breathing, since then i have had agressive taughts along with what i have already told you in my last mail.

I was working on a GCMS.(GAS CHROMATOGRAPY MASS SEP) when this started.
A number of colleges in the room at the time had some problems aswell, but they recoverd that day. The person in charge also said the room was very stuffy and heavy. I have asked about what chemical it could have being but they tell me everything in the room was fine. I think i might have being exposed to a mixture of organic compounds which excaped from the GCMS, but not sure.

I found information on the internet that Vacuum pumps attached to GCMS need air filters to prevent air polution. Do you know if this is the case?

I am at my ends with this problem...

I have being eating whole healty foods and going to the gym for the last 7 months.
I ahve also getting some accupuncher and doing some meditation..iam not as bad as i was.....about 30% better....

I need you help in pointing me in the right direction, what to do....who to see?

I hope you can help me

Kind Regards

Ken

From what you have described, it seems that your problem is really complex.  Conditions that I can think of would include some form of anxiety disorder with panic features and may also have some component of depression.  The chemical angle also seems plausible, but it is really hard to pin this on the chemicals solely.  It is important for us also to know what exactly the chemicals we are dealing with since each can have effects unique with each other.
