I had a dear friend from IL who died June 24 this year. They said she had a heart attack in the doctor's office. Well, they had been giving her Procrit shots weekly for her diagnosed low red blood cells. I wonder whether they considered that the immune system might have been prematurely destroying the red blood cells? If that's what was going on, how much good do you think an electric jolt would do her?

And that rapid heart beat can be part of the signs of THE FATIGUE?

In my friend's case the regular doctor gave up on how to help her, and just told her that she couldn't be worked in... go the the ER. Well if they can't figure out what ails one with lots of time to do so ... how do they expect the ER staff to figure it out?

She had other things that 'fit the pattern' like horrible joint pain, kidney damage, high blood pressure and high blood sugar; I bet she was pretty grouchy along with been tired, but I never asked her about that.

Her ailments started up because she was a good housekeeper, best I can tell. She told me she regularly used Lysol Tub 'n Tile and the like.

I heard recently of someone dying of a 'heart attack' by a lady who was taking Vioxx for her joint pain. Well, could be that 2-butoxyethanol had harmed her, and that she, too, died more of the advanced stages of autoimmune hemolytic anemia than anything else.

This chemical causes headaches - Extreme Irritability - CNS Depression
Part of CFS - CFIDS - FM is central nervous system damage & serious irritability. That makes being kind & not grouchy a hard thing to do?!


Tired of being tired?

CAN YOU GET CFIDS - SECOND HAND?
This lady shared with me that she remembers THE DAY her CFS/FM started a day during a convention she was attending, 1991

Still looking into the harm of EGBE 2-butoxyethanol ...

It appears to be a CFIDS, diabetes, autoimmune metabolic causing chemical. I suspect it for high cholesterol, Syndrome X, type 2 diabetes and much, much more, including chronic overweight.  I suspect it causes lots of autoimmune things.  Lou Gehrig's Disease seems to be autoimmune. You would have to have an extreme amount of exposure to 2-butoxyethanol to come down with something this severe.  I do suspect this chemical for causing the fatigue syndromes and things such as ALS
