Memory loss, numbness, depression and concern it may be a brain tumor

I've feeling
increasingly
confused
over the
last few
months, I
have a
terrible
time making
decisions
and I'm
constantly
using the
wrong word -
when I mean
to say "Take
out the
garbage"
I'll say
"Take out
the
laundry". I
do this a
few times a
day. I've
been
forgetting
appointments
and things I
need to do,
but most
concerning,
I bought 2
of the same
gift for my
daughter for
Christmas, 3
of the same
shirt at the
same store
in the past
month (and
didn't know
until I put
it in the
closet) and
just
yesterday I
found out I
ordered
exactly the
same toy
online one
night and
then ordered
it somewhere
else the
next morning
and yet I
had NO
memory
whatsoever
of making
TWO orders -
though given
further
thought I
did remember
each order
but have no
idea why I
would have
ordered it
twice! My
vision (I
have a
vision
problem with
blurriness
since birth)
got much
worse a few
months ago
where one
day I
literally
woke up and
couldn't see
the caller
ID on my
cell
phone. I
also
experienced
a bout of
depression
for no
apparent
reason
(everything
was great in
my life)
which I self
treated with
St. Johns
Wort and it
improved
within 2
weeks. I've
also had my
right leg
going numb
on and off
over the
last year -
it's pins
and needles
and I can't
move it or I
get electric
shock like
sensations.
Does this sound like symptoms of a brain tumor and if so I'd like some info. on survival and treatment. I know there are many types of brain cancer, but just wondering if there are long term survivors. I'm panicking right now so I'd appreciate any info anyone can provide! medhelp.org/posts/show/713860?personal_page_id=190019&post_id=post_3822312 |

| ALL of the
things you mention are what exposure to BUTYL would do. (Most
common form is as 2-butoxyethanol) You will see these symptoms in
variations as part of the symptoms of CFIDS, CFS, FM, gulf war
syndrome, Vietnam vets' too. Do you recall a flu, or ongoing congestions ...sniffles ... diarrhea? What was going on EXACTLY at that moment that was different than before? You can get effects prior to conception as it is a teratogen chemical; you can get your own direct exposures (I suspect there is something that is given to new moms to cause HELLP syndrome ... & these symptoms following) AND if you get around someone poisoned by it, you can get the molecules from their respiration in your eyes. AVOID this chemical or what ails you gets worse and worse Ask the doctor to look at the red blood cells and see if there is blood in urine. I suspect you also have FATIGUE? although you didn't mention it Anemia that isn't often
found for this chemical exposure is Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia AIHA
or Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia. Very high white blood cell
counts can be an anemia sign, too ... not just infection or
lymphoma. I can't share web pages I write on the
public forum .... |
A good doctor at Alaska Regional that understands this anemia is
Dr. Verneeda Spencer, Alaska Oncology & Hematology, Anchorage, AK 99508 - Now not there?
