Clint,

Thanks for sharing.

The difficulty concentrating and the Fatigue are two very strong components of 2-butoxyethanol exposure ... also Short Term Memory Loss ... what I call 'civilian gulf war syndrome' because it can harm civilians and soldiers alike, and today the lines are so blurred even researchers don't know which direction to look in.  Because they are not looking here many health issues have sored to pandemic proportions.  They have blamed smoking and aesbestos and 'genes' and Dioxin for what this chemical does ... and all the time adding more and more exposure possibilities for us, our children and our Pets

If you were harmed more by this ethylene glycol - BUTYL chemical, the fatigue not usually found (But FINDABLE) is the proof that 2-butoxyethanol is the root cause of your harm.

Some clues as to why ....

I wonder if your eyes burned & hurt doing any of the munitions tasks?

I think that chemical has to be in explosion fumes ....

causing things like lymphoma for Gene Artry, Pancreatic Cancer for Smiley Burnette, Pernicious Anemia for Annie Oakley.... and leukemias .... and birth defects ... of which lung cancers and adult onset diabetes can be part of the picture ... and FLU

Flu is not a virus, it is what this particular chemical exposure looks like

The fatigue is a very serious thing.  By the time you get to shortness of breath and 'the chills' you are at an advance stage.

Still Very Tired? 

CFIDS Pattern as follows:

• Chills (advanced anemia) 'shivering'    (chills?)  Chills?  Chills?
• Fatigue
• Pale color
• Shortness of breath
• Rapid heart rate * *
• Yellow skin color (jaundice)
• Dark urine (indicative of blood in urine - never dismiss this! Stop exposure immediately!)
• Red blood cells that are small-sized
• 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) *

These are symptoms of hemolytic anemia - what this chemical is said to cause.  

Check your blood tests *

(AUTOIMMUNE?)

Loose your temper easily?

Central Nervous System * damage

(partial list of clues for this)

• Short term memory loss
• Difficulty concentrating
• Personality changes to 'grumpy' - Extreme Irritability
• Paranoia 
• Difficulty sleeping at night - Sleep apnea? Narcolepsy in the opposite extreme?
• All the time Depression
• Suicidal Tendencies
• Mimics true psychiatric disorder 
• (PTSD)

May affect multiple other body systems & organs

Hormones out of range - Suspect autoimmune hypothalamus

And Horrible Headaches!

Prominent people  *  (EGBE exposure/s?)

Look through my other posts here.

Just put Margaret Diann in the 'search for mail/message choice'

and my posts will all come up together.

It won't take you 5 years to figure it out like it did me;

but the last thing we want is for you to collapse someday,

and have it called a heart attack ... and again the chemical doesn't get blamed for anything and more and more people continue to be harmed by it.

Doctors do not realize that those with Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome, sometimes labeled as CFS or FM or ME for short ... is the most important population to focus on
