The Suffering of ME & MCS

This portrait is a front view of a woman staring widely because her muscles in her eyes cannot focus, she is wearing pink and green earrings and presses the fingers to the top of her head to try and stop the head pain.

Metamorphosis inside MCS

Eva Caballé

During our lives we suffer several metamorphoses, some are painful, others are positive, chosen or not. The experience, the life itself, makes us change and evolve. My story is not different, although my most radical metamorphosis was when I fell ill with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. And surprisingly, when I thought that my life couldn’t be more foreseeable and monotonous, from the prison that my house has become, another metamorphosis started, this time deeper and visceral. This time my metamorphosis was chosen.

The need to communicate, to let the world know that I’m still alive, to cry out for my own rights and the rights of millions of people who suffer MCS in the whole world, led me to write. The extremely reserved person that I used to be has disappeared, in order to be able to tell my story to the world, as I dig into the deepest places of my being. It’s my metamorphosis inside the metamorphosis of living with MCS.
