| Gout is a type
of arthritis that results from too much uric acid in the body.
Rather than being flushed by the kidneys and through the urine,
as it normally is, it forms crystals and deposits in the joints.
These deposits give rise to inflammation of the joints, causing
pain, swelling, redness and tenderness of the area. |

Do you have
fatigue? CFS?
Do you have diabetes? |
Do you have blood in urine? immature, small sized red blood cells?
I was wondering when these ailments started? and whether or not you have issues like those with
CFIDS or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome groups talk about?
The reason I ask, is because these things you are sharing on ... are also things that someone exposed to 2-butoxyethanol would have... in an advanced stage.
Right now my friend has all the same kind of things you are dealing with, and over the course of time, and hearing more of her story, it is clear that she does have exposure to this in her family line. AND of course, getting your own direct exposures is very easy for everyone: the harmful vapor in paint, in cleaning products, etc. It is not recognized, so more and more exposures, and more and more advanced harmful effects.
Doctors don't look for the pattern of harm of 2-butoxyethanol; however, I believe that if they do, they would find it.

my friend ... One ovary only a tumor -
|
"I'm
of the baby boomer generation. My mom worked in a furniture
factory before I was born: lots of paint and varnish fumes
there. As I grew up, my dad was in the painting business and
taught all my brothers how to paint professionally. (He died of
prostate cancer) One brother has horrible fatigue."
"I
was born with only one ovary, the other ovary was a tumor.
At age 13 I weighed 79 lbs and the tumor was 9 pounds of
that. I looked like one of the starving children but with the
tummy bulge on the left side. When I got married, the doctor
advised us to have our children early. We did; one daughter
died of Lupus
after she was grown. Her ovaries were swollen to the size of
sausages, and the doctor said would not have another child.
She had gained a lot of weight." (hormonal? medications? We don't know.
Either is possible.)
"Today
I have burning in my feet, bulging discs that seem to go out of
alignment. I'm in physical therapy for this, and it seems to
help. I used to have HORRIBLE
headaches" |
