Look at Red Blood Cells - Fragility of Membranes?   Message List

More checks ... hard to find autoimmune hemolytic anemia - the basics

Are these mostly  AUTOIMMUNE issues?

"Examples of autoimmune disorders or diseases with an autoimmune component are:   Crohn's, Lupus, Diabetes, Endometriosis, Psoriasis, Ulcerative colitis, Myxodema, Multiple Sclerosis* Parkinson's, Scleroderma, Fibromyalgia, Hashimotos, Grave's, Allergies."

AIHA

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Occurs when the body produces antibodies that coat red blood cells.

In autoimmune hemolytic anemia, the body produces autoantibodies to red blood cell membrane proteins. (size? shape RBCs?)  The FATIGUE???    Help?   Diagnosis help  The basics
Immune System Activated Coagulopathy Thickening of the blood caused by Immune System
Cold Agglutinin Cold agglutinin disease is an acquired autoimmune hemolytic anemia due to an IgM autoantibody usually directed against the I antigen on red blood cells.

 

How to Tell whether 2-butoxyethanol type chemical harmed you

 

Remember a time with flu-like symptoms

    

but it wasn't the flu? Eyes burning and hurting; urine turns dark ... and HORRIBLE FATIGUE that lasts and lasts and lasts? A a grouchiness you didn't have before.  Example

Is there blood in urine?  *  Gather all urinalysis since this fatigue started

What is the Retic Rate? Track it over time.  Why Fatigue  Acquired Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia  Examples  1975 Acute Attack of AIHA  Why isn't it ordered?

What is the size and shape of red blood cells

Check the kidneys.  The kidneys produce hormones that

help build strong bones and

help form red blood cells. Check pituitary

Do you have several of these health ailments:

  • A Give your doctor the Big Picture
  • B Any of these health concerns?
  • C Similar list, just restated
  • D  Suspected  'pattern of harm'
  • E

Gather copies of your own blood info - and ask some questions about your immune system    Men  Women 

Bacteria in blood & urine would not be uncommon  Even expected

Bio-markers?

Rheumatology or Neurology Problem?

Were the red blood cell counts dropping over time?
Even if in the 'normal range?'  (Maybe doctors might find the immature red blood cells, but most of the time not.)  They often find the blood in urine but don't realize its significance.
After a LONG time (15+ years) the blood in urine may not be as findable, but in an acute attack, it is there.  Also the reticulocyte count needs to be tracked over time.   Showing up high in an acute attack ... (at 2.5 days most obvious) & over a long time ... too low ... but still the CBC (complete blood counts) don't look much off

I wonder whether FDR's similar symptoms were from 2nd hand exposure? Did he meet with WWII Officers & soldiers who were sufficiently exposed to it?

Don't forget, there is a strong 'second hand' solvent exposure with 2-butoxyethanol (n-butyl ether chemicals)  The 'gulf war' troops wondered why their children born before the 90-91 war & their spouses were coming down with the same 'symptoms' 

Most likely there would be a realization that the immune system is overactive ... but not going after bacteria as it should - Attacking the person, & some viruses.  The immune system becomes instantly autoimmune.  And there are a whole host of autoimmune issues to deal with after it starts with the red blood cells:  test for autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

The chemical I share on is a teratogen.  It can harm the developing child.  
 
However, some can get singular 'birth defects' that show up later in life ...
(from 2-butoxyethanol exposure things like leukemia, brain tumors & I suspect even both types of diabetes, Syndrome X, etc) and then the fatigue may not be there.
Or your can get 2nd hand exposure (at any age)

Or your own direct exposure (at any age)
or any combination thereof
In addition to this possibility, what have you done differently since a rash/headache started?   Maybe it's some kind of chemical exposure
cleaning?  painting?  What's different?
 
Here's a list on how our body responds to too much of any kind of chemical
 

Questions about the chemical, from a lay perspective? e-mail
