This is also what is noticed by those with known exposure to 2-butoxyethanol .... fragility of RBC membranes .... and Red Blood Cells being in borderline normal range. I believe this is why doctors do not find THE FATIGUE (per definintion of CFS, FM, CFIDS) which with this chemical exposure would be compensated autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Doctors must LOOK at the red blood cells
The harm of 2-butoxyethanol is unrecognized!
Central Nervous System Effects: Difficulty Concentrating Short Term Memory Loss Difficulty Sleeping Constantly Irritable Depression Suicidal Tendencies
Horrible Headaches
Do you recall any times of severe flu-like symptoms more and Horrible FATIGUE? AIHA Fatigue clues:
Chills Fatigue Pale color Shortness of breath Rapid heart rate * * Yellow skin color (jaundice) Dark urine Enlarged spleen Eyes burning & hurting
Red blood cells immature? etc Blood in Urine?

Is CFIDS fatigue - compensated autoimmune hemolytic anemia?
Some basic things to check - to find THIS fatigue

A flight nurse, addendant can get the chemical exposure second hand, as those strongly exposed can expel it in their respiration (MY theory) I believe my husband had similar last week sitting across from someone on a plane

I recognize 'the pattern' of this particular chemical exposure, that's all CFIDS, CFS, FM Those who go to the doctor are generally told there is nothing wrong with them. If I'm right, he would have had an elevated 'retic rate' just at 2.5 days after serious exposure (So at noon on Friday) * Compensated autoimmune hemolytic anemia * Can Dr Reg Crack the Case ?
"A reticulocyte count is a blood test that measures how rapidly immature red blood cells called reticulocytes are made by the bone marrow and then released into the bloodstream. Reticulocytes circulate in the bloodstream for about 2 days before developing into mature red blood cells. Normally, about 1% to 2% of the red blood cells in the bloodstream are reticulocytes"
Look for THIS fatigue *
"The presence of spherocytes indicates that red blood cells are being destroyed."
very sick
