Thoughts in reply:

These are the same symptoms as perimenopause.

I have these Or some of them . I didn't know about some of them so thanks for posting them. Does excessive sweating of your head and neck qualify as a symptom of fibro? I get this when ever I walk in the mall , or shopping. And it is so embarrassing as I am am walking I have seat dripping down my face ,neck . And nothing stops it, I noticed it after my hysterectomy back in 1990 but in the past few years it has gotten worse and is driving me nuts. Just wondering.

ALL of these can be caused by a chemical exposure ... and this has been the case for nearly 75 years since it was invented

Is this the list? *

A comment on the difference in these:

Insomnia, nonrestorative sleep?

With ethylene glycol monobutyl ether the insomnia is harm to the central nervous system, that is where the sleep function resides. The non restorative sleep is the FATIGUE of immune system prematurely destroying the red blood cells ... the fatigue that the doctors are looking for: autoimmune hemolytic anemia found differently than expected

Harm is more prevalent than first thought *

A chemical exposure that is the cause of these things for many ... including the Vietnam Vet and seemingly rare cancers

A worker from the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup with fatigue and turning yellow & the doctors don't find anything asks ...

"Will there be a study?" My reply

For the harm of 2-butoyethanol consider thyroid and ALL glands at risk: high or low blood sugar; high or low blood pressure ... anything to do with the central nervous system, immune system, blood, lymph system, bones ... just about everything actually.

Do you remember any particular time when your eyes burned and hurt? That you had dark urine and felt a horrible FATIGUE? That could be an example of too much exposure at one time. Do you know anyone who went for check-ups then and blood was found in urine?

The cleanup chemical of harm was 2-butoxyethanol or also known as ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (& other names) www.valdezlink.com/same.htm & it usually has more than one thing that it does to people before you would expect it as one's harm ... in the general population (They don't know what's harmful; but we already know what would have been the most probable chemical of harm in your case) www.valdezlink.com/scenario.htm

Turning yellow is one of the 8 signs of the hemolytic anemia (fatigue) www.valdezlink.com/generic.htm#8 Not necessarily all of them at the same time, of course, but something to consider when they

Why Fatigue? www.valdezlink.com/why_fatigue.htm

Autoimmune immune system? You are destroying You.

Also consider any ailments to do with glands, or lymph or blood or nervous system ... (Kidneys and Liver, too) *

I was relooking at the list of harm to the Vietnam vet ... and dioxin has been getting too much credit. It is this chemical for them, in my opinion, as well
