CFS and CFID - same as Gulf War syndrome?
In taking a closer look at the definitions of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Chronic Fatigue Immune Defficiency it occurs to me that these are the same definitions as one might give for 'Gulf War Syndrome' symptoms ... which I believe have been a plague on the USA for many, many years.
In short, if the doc doesn't know the cause of the 'persisting, debilitating' fatigue, & you have some other symptoms, too, like Central Nervous system memory loss, and joint pain, etc ... then the doc can diagnose CFS. Interesting ... more background Quote:
More comments - Gulf War Vet Discussion Forum An overlooked cause of fatigue: The current definition seems to fit the symptoms Gulf War vets have ... and a chemical they were exposed to which causes all of their symptoms, best I can tell is 2-butoxyethanol also known as ethylene glycol monobutyl ether Because the bone marrow compensates for the loss of mature red blood cells ... the CBCs don't seem out of line and most physicians don't check further. The compensating hemolytic anemia can more likely be found out by a retic ratio. Do doctors check this when ruling out other causes of fatigue? Low functioning red blood cells that are smaller in size, and irregular shape, may help to show that what we are dealing with is often chemical exposure to pesticides. This particular solvent/pesticide/poison is in many, many products, and our people are not adequately warned of the harm they cause.
