Also, forgot to add, that I think most natural carpet shampoos are very
similar so I've used many brands, not just SafeCoat...

I've learned a company called SafeCoat makes a natural carpet shampoo
and says it removes ALO"T, but not all, of the chemicals in new carpet,
which are many! So steam clean it a couple times, I do this with every
new carpet, it really helps alot! the part it doesn't help as much is
the glue from the backing...i use a hepa filter to hopefully catch the
rest, plus the other good ideas mentioned here....

Usually when I have fibromyagla symptoms, it seems that it is
caused by excess acidity. So taking anything to alkalinize my
body helps get rid of the pain.
As for carpet, you could have it steam-cleaned to get rid of
some of the smell. Probably safer to just use water and
nothing else, as you might react to the carpet cleaning
solution (although there are some brands of carpet
cleaner that seem fine).
And if all else fails, open up the windows and wait for
the smell to go away. Although I'm sure some carpets
take a lot longer to become tolerable than others!
An ozone air cleaner might also be helpful (in spite
of the folks who will insist that ozone is harmful)
