Since you describe flu-like symptoms it is certainly worth considering 2-butoxyethanol overexposure (poisoning)
If you have blood in urine, I would especially look in that direction
You would be concerned about your immune system going autoimmune
and after autoimmne hypothalamus (my theory) AI Hypothalamus?
there would be Autoimmune Hemolytic anemia. 2-butoxyethanol causes hemolytic anemia. AIHA or IMHA
Do you have this assortment of symptoms ... or a lot of it?

Meds may not help, might even hurt, if you are dealing with a chemical poisoning,
Has someone new come around since these symptoms came along?
What cleaning products have you started using?
They are a big culprit for exposure to this chemical or stronger versions

jaundice page has good info on IMHA (proof of direct exposure to 2-BE)

In my letter to Sarah ... farther down this page,
I explain about 2nd hand solvent exposure

Diabetes can show up with strong exposure,
but it is not the cause of 'the flu' but the side effect of endocrine disruption
If you can stop the exposure, the flu symptoms would subside

Consider glyconutrients for help http://groups.msn.com/mymanna/fordoctors.msnw

Advanced Ambrotose™
New and improved Advanced Ambrotose™ complex in powder and capsule form is designed to better support effective cell-to-cell communication. This enhanced glyconutritional formula now includes arabinogalactan, a saccharide source, as well as a more concentrated source of Undaria pinnatifida and gluten-free rice starch in place of oat fiber. This is the most balanced and richest source of glyconutrients Mannatech has ever offered.*

And other symptoms, too?
Some meds can cause depression,
BUT it is on the Central Nervous System damage of the chemical I share on ... which exposure looks like the flu
Syndrome X can be the high blood pressure, the high cholesterol which really is autoimmune metabolic issues from? ... you know what I think
So maybe 'the depression' is a side effect of 'the flu?'

| Eyes Burning? Diarrhea? Flu-like symptoms? Some have had blood in urine within minutes! Blood damage is IMMEDIATE (autoimmune hemolytic anemia - immune system prematurely destroying the red blood cells) then tired... exhausted always? Look further We're trying to find the 'blood damage' Why Fatigue? Track 'retic' rate Sometimes the following ... in one stage or another ... -
Chills 8 -
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, fragility of membranes, etc
- Enlarged spleen *
These are symptoms of hemolytic anemia - what this chemical is said to cause. (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
- Difficulty sleeping at night - Sleep apnea? Narcolepsy in the opposite extreme?
- All the time Depression
- Suicidal Tendencies
- Mimics true psychiatric disorder
