Heather - advance autoimmune issues

Heather, I am so sorry to hear of all these health ailments.
From my view, they all look like autoimmune issues ....
 
and there is a particular chemical you must avoid, which I strongly suspect for most of the autoimmune issues out there (& they are miriad)
 
Do you notice short term memory loss ?
 
The Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome has FM as a subset, in my opinion
 
Do you have FATIGUE?
 
Be careful what you clean with, as this chemical is many times there, and in very strong concentrations  
ETC check this link
 
Also beware of who comes around. ... anything that causes 'the sniffles' diarrhea, a 'cold' .... FLU
 
Second hand solvent exposure

You might realize how many odd symptoms there are that go with Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome. Look for the FATIGUE which shows up differently than doctors expect

And especially look for abnormal blood sugar, blood pressure, body temp ... swollen glands and organs often go with

Many health issues are autoimmune and becoming epidemic among the WWII Nations

Strong exposure looks like what we call the flu

Suspect not a virus, but exposure in some fashion to 2-butoxyethanol aka Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether
 
High or low body temp, blood pressure, blood sugar could be symptoms of autoimmune hypothalamus such as I suspect 2-butoxyethanol would cause ... eventually memory loss, headaches and other signs of CFIDS, FM, CFS

The fatigue of CFIDS is not known; but the anemia of EGBE is Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia ... of which rapid heart beat, 'the chills' are a couple of the signs

Some comments I made today on a gulf war vet forum
Look at the links here .... there are some 'helps' suggested at page bottom
 
 
Hello,

I am a 31 year old woman who is Disabled in various ways. One part
of my pain in which I have been unable to reduce is my Chronic Daily
Headaches.

My Pain Management Doctor is interested in giving me injections in
the back of my head. It seems to be one of the VERY few days a month
in which I do not have a headache, and he refuses to give the
injection without me having symptoms.

Does anyone have experience with such injections? If so, do they
tend to last for a short or long period of time? Are they effective,
or not worth the hassle?

Besides CDH, I have a myriad of conditions which attribute to my
Disability.

I have Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Sacroiliitis,
Degenerative Disc Disease, Several Herniated Discs with other damage,
such as narrowing, spurs, and several issues in and near the spinal
column. I also deal with Fibromyalgia, Myofascial Pain Syndrome,
Myotonia Tarda, Narcolepsy, IBS-D (And being researched currently for
other digestive disorders, as I do not retain vitamins and such),
Various other things, as well as Severe Anxiety/Panic attacks,
Bipolar.. Malignant Hyperthermia, TMJ, Hypothyroid, Hashimoto's
Disease, High Blood Pressure..

Sorry for the length of that.

Anyway, I use a power chair to get around..

I have found Doctors and treatments for most of my conditions,
although I am still stuck with my Chronic Daily Headaches without
relief! They are of the severity of Migraine/Cluster level at
times.. and other times, they remind me of tension headaches. I have
them at least 20 days out of the month.

There can be periods of time where I have them for months in a row
with NO relief.

I will be reading through the former posts, links and such here.. and
I hope to find some resources.

Take care,
~Heather
