[b]What should you do now?[/b] Educate them. They need help. Doctors don't study chemical exposures or their effects. They are clueless. BUT for those who want to help, there is HOPE

[b]How we need doctors with an interest to push thru this 'barrier'[/b]

I'm so glad you have a nice family, '[url=http://www.gulfwarvets.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000127.html]enough is enough[/url]' AND three children? What a blessing!

I would be [i]very careful[/i] about taking medications. You are maxed out on chemicals and adding more along with the blood's need for oxygen (I suspect) [url=http://home.gci.net/~blessing/pages/grandemal.htm]could cause seizures.[/url]

Pull out [url=http://www.valdezlink.com/gwv/do_believe.htm]the 'short list' of why doctors should be interested[/url] in this topic ...
(It will fit on a one page Word Doc and it faxes nicely)

Then share this (best help, I believe, in finding the harm to you):

For these - 
[list][*]Use [url=http://www.valdezlink.com/gwv/symptoms.htm]this as a chart[/url] to identify your own symptoms
[*]Circle those that apply
[*]Cross off those that don't
[*]Add your own
[*]Help your doctor see the BIG Picture[/list]

Retic ratio & looking at red blood cells is very important (it supports anemia, but not a diagnosis per se)

The fatigue you have, if caused from the solvent exposure, is blood damage to the red blood cells; it hides out, and until we have a lot of exposure, it may take years to be easily identifiable. But I firmly believe it is the key to finding the 'common denominator'

Now if that [url=http://www.valdezlink.com/gwv/complete.htm#headaches]headache[/url] is evidence of endocrine disruption and is at the back of the head and running down the neck ... isn't that in the area of the pituitary? If the meds do no good for the headache, maybe we need to find some kind of charcoal to neutralize these chemicals:

C6H14O2/CH3(CH2)2CH2OCH2CH2OH 
or
C8H18O3 / CH2(CH2)3OCH2CH2OCH2CH2OHDGME
or ?

But the point is, you are harming yourself more every time you take medication (unless it is essential and doing you some good) AND until we get an accurate diagnosis on the [b]blood[/b] how can we proceed to helps? ... and to preventing harm to our future generations and other innocents in our country?
