I'm living in Nova Scotia, Canada. I've been environmentally sensitive since my late 20's. A few years a go I was harmed during a routine check up, which led to an infection. I tried to bring this to the medical establishment's attention. They basically dismissed me. It has been a downward spiral... I went through insomnia, severe anxiety, was put on medications that I’m now finding out, if I wanted to switch family doctors (which I do) most Doctors don't agree with these medications and I’m terrified I'll go through protracted withdrawal. I've stayed in the hospital, which was terrifying and seemed to make my condition worse. It feels as though my quality of life is non-existing. I feel lost, I've heard good things about a facility in Toronto but it cost 30,000 dollars to stay there and there isn’t a guarantee that they can help and they will not answer my questions about protracted withdrawal and how they will support me with this. I want my life back. I want help. I feel like there isn’t any support for people with post traumatic stress syndrome in Nova Scotia and nearly impossible to find help outside of Nova Scotia where facilities have a scent free policy and do not clean with harmful chemicals.

Just wondering if there is anyone else in Nova Scotia with similar issues?
