[Dear Maggie]

We have noticed the same thing.

I also have a thought for those taking Vioxx & Celebrex:
How many of you also have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or CFIDS or 'gulf war syndrome?'

The reason I ask is that I suspect the exposure to 2-butoxyethanol to cause these ... and part of the harm is often arthritis. and PAIN So, before doctors are reviewing results of the Vioxx and Celebrex studies, they MUST know this. They MUST check for the fatigue that has not been heretofore found: autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

This sub group MUST be viewed differently that others because I have noticed that heart attack can be part of what happens with this chemical exposure. Maybe people are collapsing with lack of blood; or their heart starts beating 250 beats per minute? (One of the clues that it could be the 'hiding out' hemolytic anemia of this chemical: www.valdezlink.com/same.htm } Other clues: www.valdezlink.com/generic.htm#8 Not every symptom is there, of course, this is just a 'text book comment' most likely from an acute attack


The fatigue is different than doctors expect www.valdezlink.com/why_fatigue.htm and the bones hurting may not be arthritis for this group www.valdezlink.com/paralysis.htm

After studying this chemical for over 2 years, my theory is that regardless of the 'add on symptoms' the fatigue is findable and provable evidence of this chemical's involvement: do these have blood in urine in early years AND red blood cells that are immature?? www.valdezlink.com/psa.htm
