By David Jackson, USA TODAY

		Vice President Dick Cheney had to use a cane last week because of a recurring foot problem, a spokeswoman said. By Orlin Wagner, AP

"He's doing fine," Bush said before delivering an education speech near Baltimore. "His health is good."

Medication for a foot problem caused fluid retention, which affected Cheney's lungs and made him short of breath. Cheney was given a diuretic and returned to work hours later. (Related story: Foot problem causes VP to use cane)

   CHENEY'S HEALTH HISTORY:  
 
Cheney has a long history of health problems and suffered his first heart attack in 1978 when he was 37. Ten years later, after his third heart attack, he had quadruple bypass surgery to clear clogged arteries. His medical history includes:

1978: Cheney's first heart attack, at age 37.
1984: His second heart attack.
1988: After suffering his third heart attack, Cheney had quadruple bypass surgery in August to clear clogged arteries.
2000: Cheney suffered what doctors called a "very slight" heart attack, his fourth, and underwent an angioplasty to open a clogged artery.
March 5, 2001: Just over 100 days later, Cheney felt chest pains and underwent another angioplasty to reopen the same artery.
June 30, 2001: Cheney returned to the hospital and had a special pacemaker called an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, or ICD, inserted into his chest. During his 2004 annual checkup, doctors said the device had never automatically activated to regulate, which they said meant the heart was functioning normally.
Nov. 13, 2004: Cheney entered the hospital after complaining of shortness of breath. He left after three hours. An aide said tests found no abnormalities.
Sept. 24, 2005: Undergoes surgery to repair an arterial aneurysm on the back of each knee. After the 2000 heart attack, Cheney, began a daily 30-minute regimen on the treadmill and began eating healthier. He takes medication to lower his cholesterol. He quit smoking in 1978.
Jan. 9, 2006: Cheney is taken to a Washington Hospital experiencing shortness of breath attributed to fluid retention as a result of medication he was taking for a foot problem. He is placed on a diuretic and released.

Shortness of breath is one of the 'fatigue' signs of AIHA ... 'the fatigue' of CFIDS, CFS, FM ... *

the hypothalamus?

It appears to control the various issues that those with THE FATIGUE have to deal with also ... 'the pattern of 2-butoxyethanol's harm'

What happened to our soldiers during war-times came on faster, because they kept getting exposed ... but it is not a different exposure than other military time periods nor than what civilians get, too

Check these things first ... signs of EGBE exposure
