   Yes, you're being persecuted!  It's not your fault!   
   It's their fault!

   Yes, you deserve justice!  You deserve revenge!   
   You've got the right attitude to become an MCS   
   patient.   
      
   Now, what you need to do to develop full-blown MCS   
   is a) join a support group of co-enablers to convince   
   you that you are being poisoned by these smells,   
   and b) find a quack practitioner who'll perform   
   tests (surprise, you got MCS!) and prescribe worthless   
   treatments that hold the promise of success (if we   
   just stick with it a little bit longer) but actually   
   make the MCS symptomology more firmly rooted.  If he's   
   very good, he'll discover other problems you've got,   
   like parasites and cavitations.
