What is CFIDS?
Quote:  "Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has gradually gained recognition as a clinical entity. The diagnosis is clinical and based on a number of major and minor symptoms. The main criterion is unexplained severe fatigue, without proper alleviation by rest, lasting at least 6 months, and resulting in a substantial reduction in occupational, social, and personal activities.

Excessive post-exercise exhaustion, sleep disturbances, muscle and joint pain, headaches and cognitive disturbances with concentration or memory problems are frequent.

Bowel symptoms, temperature regulation dysfunction, postural hypotension, and hypersensitivity to noise and light are often described.

The entity is a major public health problem, estimated to affect approximately 0.2 - 0.4 % of the
population"  Most probably many more than that, but the anemia is not found.

Look for these clues to 'the anemia' link


The anemia of CFS, FM, ME, CFIDS, often goes with NHL

 
a cause of high B cell counts (an anemia sign)

for those with ME, CFIDS, CFS, FM

Suspect exposure to glycol butyl ether for causing these

High white blood cell counts may also be a sign of 'the anemia' that hides out, not an infection as is generally thought

What are the signs of hemolytic anemia?

COOMB's Test?  Skip it

Central nervous system autoimmune action includes things like:

eventually:  Central Nervous System  Effects: cns
  • Difficulty Concentrating 

  • Short Term Memory Loss  Memory Loss

  • Difficulty Sleeping

  • Constantly Irritable / Anger outbursts

  • Depression

  • Mimics true psychiatric disorder  Paranoia

  • Suicidal Tendencies

  • PTSD?

Glycol ether?
http://www.valdezlink.com/re/glycolether.htm
... is health hazardous / especially glycol butyl ethers  such as 2-butoxyethanol (most commonly used) *

A cause of multiple autoimmune issues, cancers and birth defects
and ME, CFIDS, CFS, FM

Rituxan seems to help both the anemia and resultant cancer/s
of which NHL is high on the list,
so would liver and kidney cancers / blood cancers /
brain tumors
(Brain Tumors    *  * * not that rare)  / leukemias and lymphomas

& damage the environment, too

Please regulate glycol ether to help slow global warming
 

I have no medical background,
but took an interest in most commonly used glycol butyl ether:
2-butoxyethanol * * when my son was harmed by it in 1989

The research done on this chemical in the UK *  is the best I have found

Why so much Cancer? *

I write web pages on what I'm learning

Most probable cause of HELLP Syndrome & Autism:

Senator Robert Byrde was hospitalized mid May, 2009 for a suspected minor infection (high white blood cell counts may also be a sign of 'the anemia' that hides out, not an infection as is generally thought) *  *

Then Senator Robert Byrd, 91, came down with a staff infection from being in the hospital & got out 6 weeks later (7-1-09)  Anemia 'helps' for Senators Byrd and Kennedy:
