== What's in a name? Adding synonyms to the introductory sentence and redirect pages -- [[User:Silliestchris|Silliestchris]] ([[User talk:Silliestchris|talk]]) 22:53, October 1, 2021 (UTC) == MCS is known by many names, depending on the legal context and jurisdiction. For example, The Canadian Human rights commission likes to call it "environmental sensitivity" although this is a more broad umbrella term. Another term being used in pathophysiological literature is TILT. Some more examples: Environmental illness Chemical intolerance Gulf War syndrome Sick building syndrome Or perhaps we should remove IEI from the first sentence altogether and have a section dedicated specifically to alternate names? Thoughts? ===Re: What's in a name? Adding synonyms to the introductory sentence and stub pages -- [[User:Silliestchris|Silliestchris]] ([[User talk:Silliestchris|talk]]) 22:54, October 1, 2021 (UTC)=== : I think that environmental illness is too broad (I think it means any disease caused by the environment or by pollutants, so by definition, it could include cancers, parkinsons etc...I think it's more the umbrella term and I think the Canadian HRC are using it incorrectly re MCS Chemical intolerance--again, I don't know how it's defined Gulf war syndrome--specific and disintct from MCS SIck building syndrome--think it has poor recognition? The advantage of MCS and IEI is that they're the terms most commonly used in the medical reviews, the WHO's taskforce on the subject and the largest consensus papers on the condition, so I think it's better to stick with them Aletheia2020 ===Re: What's in a name?
