What about Norma?

They are looking for this anemia in my friend, Norma,
and I shared some thoughts with the lab tech
at Providence Hospital in Anchorage then,
I hope they took note -

but she said in Feb/2008 she didn't hear anything more about it

 
The CFIDS checklist (there are several) but mine has emphasis on fatigue clues
 

My Friend Norma *

Norma is ill *   8-12-07   Norma 2 *

Norma and *

Norma and brother *  3-12-08

Norma White * March, 2008

Norma Guest Book *  March, 2008 ... & more sharing *

Too many wrong medical views today  *

Doctors don't find the anemia,

and it may be more likely the cause of death than the cancers that started up ... in many cases

Signs?

'the chills' turning pale, rapid heart rate, 'gasping for breath   *

The chemical I am concerned about causes short term memory loss, and that is a stand out harm.  I think it is part of the autoimmune Central Nervous System Issues. 

Central Nervous System Effects:
Difficulty Concentrating
Short Term Memory Loss
Difficulty Sleeping

Constantly Irritable - ANGER outbursts  - 
Paranoia
Depression
Suicidal Tendencies

Mimics True Psychiatric Disorder with strong exposure (Military calls it PTSD?)

Horrible Headaches

and AUTOIMMUNE issues * such as lipid changes, autoimmune metabolic issues – weight issues – belly fat - balance issues (vertigo)  Severe eyesight loss; hearing loss*; brain tumors may start & grow rapidly; loss of taste, smell; periodontal disease

AND FATIGUE that hides out. (look for Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia if 2-butoxyethanol exposure signs are there. AIHA or IMHA (Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia)

LOOK at red blood cells

&/or grossly misshapen red blood cells  *

(lose the capability to convey oxygen around the body)

    • Enlarged spleen *
    • Elevated RDW
    • RBC 'sticking together?'
    • Fragility of RBC membranes? 
    • Elevated 'retic ratio' only at 2.5 days after 'flu' Compensated
    • VERY HIGH White Blood Cell Counts (advanced anemia) *

 

For an overview of what the pattern of the effects of 2-butoxyethanol

aka Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether …. What is  BUTYL? (4 carbons)

What about the military 'syndromes?'  *

Ban this chemical
