I'm going to Dr. Gary Esper who specializes in pulmonary disease. The purpose of the visit is for a pulmonary function test. After a particulary bad day at work with the perfumed ones I broke down and called my doctor to see if there was anything I could do to help with the problem. His thoughts were either allergy testing or the pulmonary function test. Since the latter is the least painful option we're starting with that.

Good luck. Hope you get some answers.
Oh MY, I am so sorry. I hope there is something he can do to help. Please let us know the results of the test, and any ideas he may have. I am waiting to hear. I will say a prayer about this tonight.
Praying you get the answers to give you relief.
perfume and other heavy scents sends me into coughing fits and i can't breathe. it will be interesting to see what is found with this test since i suffer the same type thing. you can tell me all about it and if it helps or not... good luck, hope all goes well..... i say fire the perfume princess
We are all hoping it's is just a bad reaction to the perfume smell. And if it is only that it will be interesting to follow the results of taking that information to the powers that be at work. Considering how management has handled other 'problems' getting the numbers of OSHA, your local health & safety department and looking up ADA regulations might be a way to while away some time. DIdn't you say that there are health department rules that governing the wearing of scent in fresh food handling departments? Here's hoping it is perfume and nothing more.
Gosh, sure hope everything turns out all right and it is something easy they can do to help you. Please keep us posted.
Ugh. Doctor's appointments are necessary, but never fun. Hope all goes well.
Perhaps you have MCS - multiple chemical sensitivities. I have a friend with it. She's had to become something of a hermit.
Why do people have to drown themselves in perfume? I don't know either. It's awful. I hope you can get some answers.
Have a fabulous day. Big hug to you and tons of scritches to Gibbs. ♥♥♥
I am glad you are going. We can't always control those around us, so you can't demand that the world stop wearing fragrance unfortunately. It will be good to see what you can do about this. It's getting dangerous for you.
Good luck today. I hope you get some answers and some help!
Praying that your's goes well and that you have good results along with getting the help you need.
Oh dear Ann my heart goes out to you. If you were in India there was so much I could do to help you. I hope they start you on medications to help.
Love
Dr Sonia
