Mood: heatherlynn22 tired

I posted this in the post traumatic stress disorder forum but i figured I'd post here to.

my husband is a marine. he just got out from active duty in October. he's now inactive duty for the next 4 years. he spent 9 months in Iraq and all those lovely places. prior to him being deployed to iraq he was the most wonderful, loving, caring man. never raised his voice to me nothing. he was understanding with my memory loss and tried to help me. since then he's been getting increasingly more and more angry. he snaps on me and our 6 month old twins. he screams and yells at me about the smallest things. he throws stuff and punches holes in our walls, breaks doors. he has horrible nightmares all the time. he'll wake up screaming in the middle of the night. a lot of times he's crying and just clings to me like he'd....well lost me. he won't tell me what happened over there, well not everything. i do know some things that happened to him and i do know some bad things happened.  i don't know what kind of help there is and he won't even admit he has a problem. i just don't know what to do for him! i love him so much and i hate seeing him suffer like this and i hate what it's doing to our relationship. i don't want the boys growing up and only knowing the angry side of their father. i want them to know the loving caring man that he once was.

has anyone else had problems like this? or had a spouse who did?

It sounds like one of the signs of 'military syndrome' (most recent one being 'gulf war syndrome' of 1991 ... or what civilians would call 'CFIDS'

If the rest of the pattern is there, then suspect that the anger outbursts are a severe poisoning of his nervous system ... like what 2-butoxyethanol or butyl would cause

Ask him if he recalls a serious flu?  ... and I will send you more info

Does he complain of FATIGUE?

Doctors could find it if they looked at the same 'numbers' differently.

Does he have horrible headaches? ... these other signs:

Autoimmune Central Nervous System Signs:

Loose your temper easily? Central Nervous System *

Short term memory loss

Difficulty concentrating

Personality changes to 'grumpy' - Extreme Irritability

Difficulty sleeping at night - Sleep apnea?  Narcolepsy in the extreme?

All-the-time Depression  -  Depression

Suicidal Tendencies

Mimics true psychiatric disorder - Paranoia

(PTSD)

Suspect an abnormal body temperature ... high or low  body temp
I think I know. I looked into the harm of the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup workers and found that their symptoms of ill health (bioremediation workers who were exposed to 2-butoxyethanol ... butyl for short) had the same odd assortment of symptoms that the 'gulf war syndrome vets' have.

I noticed this in 2003 mid year and by the end of 2003 I found that this same chemical was listed in Book 2: "Solvents and Pesticides the gulf war troops were exposed to.

Now, this chemical has a second hand solvent exposure to it. Someone very strongly exposed would expel the chemical in their respiration ... which would get into the eyes of those who are around them a lot ... and be exposing them to the same chemical.

Civilians would call it CFIDS, CFS, FM, ME. The exact variation is irrelevant. The proof of the chemical that causes the odd symptoms (you are dealing with a host of AUTOIMMUNE issues) is the anemia ... the FATIGUE ... that hides out.

The doctors must LOOK at the RED BLOOD cells. and look in different ways to find the anemia it causes: autoimmune hemolytic anemia or immune mediated hemolytic anemia. This chemical causes so many things to go wrong at once, that it has evaded medical science for a century, maybe longer.

It is very commonly used in home cleaning products and not disclosed. New exposures should be avoided at all costs. Exposure looks like the flu or flatulence with diarrhea.

This chemical can cause high or low blood sugar, high or low blood pressure; high or low body temp; High or low ... any glandular hormones - often thyroid with gall bladder issues prior; Horrible headaches; short term memory loss

'civilian gulf war syndrome' aka CFIDS
 
 
 
 
Diabetes *   Autism *

The worst pesticide

 

Anemia is SERIOUS if it is the anemia that BUTYL causes

The primary cause of military 'syndromes' & harm to civilians with CFIDS, too

HELPS

SEIZURES can be from lack of oxygen in red blood cells

many Vets of war eras harmed by BUTYL

"I'm convinced that metabolic features

are among main underestimated issue of

2-BE," says a French journalist

Special Warnings:  Prevent generation of mists!

What else does 2-butoxyethanol do?  Why is it only a health hazard rating of 1 or 2 when so much harm is found? CAUSES EYE IRRITATION. AFFECTS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, BLOOD AND BLOOD-FORMING ORGANS, KIDNEYS, LIVER AND LYMPHOID SYSTEM. 

2-butoxyethanol is Not Without Research  *

NJ Hazardous Chemical Fact sheet on 2-butoxyethanol pdf

Finds it causes liver cancer in animals ...
No exposure to a carcinogen is safe, say scientists

No Disclosure of any ingredients; yet serious use of product on a written MSDS you can get in 10 days by mail ... which however, are not on the container

MSDS received by mail: Clean Shower MSDS p1-3  pdf  p 4 No ingredients considered harmful, so none disclosed ... but look at warnings for use p2, #8

Wouldn't it seem that there is a chemical that should be disclosed here?  And that these 'how to use' instructions should be on the product or easily available? same as those for 2-Butoxy Ethanol
