Thank you, Suzie, for sharing about HELLP syndrome


If you had not shared, I would not have looked into it,

and now I strongly suspect my daughter is dealing with it

.

My daughter had a baby boy a month ago ... who does not seem to be gaining weight. 

I know the doctor is concerned. (Please pray for Landon Jacob, that he will thrive)

My husband noted two days ago that our daughter does not look well.

Last night when I left her house at 7 pm ... she remarked,

"I am So TIRED !" ... uncharacteristic for her
 
I wonder about HELLP syndrome
 

Someone on one of my discussion forums said they had HELLP Syndrome

when they were pregnant.  I never heard of HELLP Syndrome ... so I looked it up

 

I observed my daughter had times of 'sniffling' and farting during her pregnancy. 

(looked to me like a low-grade exposure to 2-butoxyethanol)

 

She worked in the ballast water section of Alyeska the last few months of her pregnancy. (Would 2-butoxyethanol be there?)

But of course it is lots of places, even at home. It is odd to me that it is identified as only for women pregnant or just after child birth. I suspect it has something to do with hormones being different ... and it being an autoimmune hypothalamus issue that shows up in this way for this population.

HELLP syndrome ...  is very prevalent in 10% of those pregnant

 
HELLP syndrome is a life-threatening complication of pre-eclampsia. Both conditions occur during the latter stages of pregnancy, or sometimes after childbirth.
 
HELLP is an abbreviation of the main findings:

Is the Low Platelet count from something autoimmune? .... like:

ITP is the destruction of "thrombocytes" (clotting cells) by the immune system in much the same manner as RBCs are destroyed in AIHA
Clinical signs of this disease include bruising; excessive bleeding following trauma, at surgery, or during estrus; or blood in the urine or stool.
Before ITP can be diagnosed, many more common diseases must be ruled out. These include, but are not limited to, warfarin poisoning, various clotting disorders (hemophilia, Von Willebrand's disease), bladder or prostate infection or cancer, and intestinal parasites. A CBC, platelet count, and clotting profile are needed. A bone marrow biopsy is helpful as well, and a Coomb's test may be run if other autoimmune diseases are suspected. 
Transfusion of fresh whole blood or of platelet-rich plasma can be helpful in ITP  Source

The primary thing that 2-butoxyethanol causes is hemolytic anemia:  I suspect autoimmune hemoltyic anemia

I'm wondering about 2-butoxyethanol's effect on the hypothalamus,
how does one test for autoimmune hypothalamus? 
 
Now researchers know that the pituitary is in fact regulated by hormones released from the hypothalamus .
 
The pituitary gland is physically attached to the brain by the pituitary, or hypophyseal stalk connected with the median eminence.
 
The pituitary gland helps control the following body processes:

Maybe it's the Hypothalamus that regulates blood sugar, also?

& after-effects of EGBE exposure could 

'look like' Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome ( CFIDS) ?

Shares another .... 'weak legs' caused him to loose his career of 20 years, 

I asked, " Are there other things going on? ..

  • Do you recall a serious 'flu' back then?

  • Could you be dealing with CIDP ?

.

I suspect Aristotle Onassis was health damaged by THIS chemical, too; and as usual, it was not recognized by his doctors.

Certainly the BEST doctors in the WORLD!

"I'm convinced that metabolic features (changes in cholesterol and lipid profile, changes in glucose uptake and cell use, mitochondrial diseases and so on) are among main underestimated issue of 2-BE," says a French journalist

I just shared some thoughts with today's soldier,

who said, "I need some help"

 

Some ways your body might 'complain' about too much of some kind of chemical *

Maybe the Hypothalamus is damaged? *
