Ever heard of HELLP Syndrome?   * *
  HELLP Syndrome  * 
 
  • H- hemolysis ( breakdown of red blood cells)
  • EL- elevated liver enzymes (liver function)
  • LP- low platelets counts (platelets help the blood clot)

"Common symptoms in women with the HELLP syndrome include a general feeling of feeling unwell (malaise), nausea and/or vomiting, and pain in the upper abdomen. Increased fluid in the tissues (edema) is also frequent. Protein is measurable in the urine of most women with the HELLP syndrome. Blood pressure may be elevated. Occasionally, coma can result from seriously low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)."

Exposure to 2-butoxyethanol causes hemolytic anemia - Look for these clues to 'the anemia'

Abnormal blood sugar, blood pressure, body temperature may be signs of autoimmune hypothalamus.  Suspect a recent exposure to glycol butyl ether for spikes in these / suspect too much exposure overall for causing low levels - Exposure to glycol ether should be suspect for causing such autoimmune issues and many more health concerns.  Many things are autoimmune.
Do follow-up - Do these develop CFIDS?  Do they have memory loss? ... headaches?

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

HELLP stands for Hemolysis (Hemolytic Anemia), Elevated Liver enzyme levels and a Low Platelet count

Autoimmune Issues?

I think it is caused by exposure to glycol ether, especially any glycol butyl ether

Which many times 'looks like' the flu ... * *  Consider glycol ether *

Another Cause of FLU   Abbreviated

What are the glycol ethers?  *  *

Glycol: any of a class of organic chemicals characterized by having separate two hydroxyl (-OH) groups, contribute to high water solubility, hygroscopicity and reactivity with many organic compounds, on usually linear and aliphatic carbon chain. The general formula is CnH2n(OH)2 or (CH2)n(OH)2

a harm to our VETS & civilians, too

(2-butoxyethanol is ethylene glycol monobutyl ether ... the most widely used glycol ether)

Consider exposure to a glycol ether for cause of 'the flu' especially glycol ether with BUTYL  *

Renal Liver   *
PEG or PEO http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene_glycol (an inactive ingredient of prenatal vitamins)  *
 HO-CH2-(CH2-O-CH2-)n-CH2-OH
  Also is there a glycol ether component to any anesthesia given during delivery?

such as for CindyF?

Post Par tem Blues + HELLP Syndrome  *
   

For Help, AVOID exposure to any glycol ether, especially in home cleaning products *

& in paint & home maintenance products

Look for things to help one's immune system return to normal; and not be going autoimmune

Avoid any non essential medications  *

Eat well
