Sorry, I meant to come back and explain when Bobby said something.
I got lost in something else.

But he worked at a battery factory. And they checked their lead a lot.
His was always after the beginning very high. He worked there for over 10 years. My other son Devin even worked there for a few years. I'll explain why he left later.

But Dan couldn't control even though he tried many things the lead. So after years they made him wear a suit from head to toes. That was specially made for him whenever he worked. They all took showers before they went to work or left the factory every day. But this didn't seem to matter for him

He developed ulceratitus colitius or however it was spelled there. And it was bad, it put him in the hospital. He was diagnosed and started treatment through that. He then went through almost every pill they could. He was getting ready to start an IV. When we were having trouble finding a new doctor to do that. And he then went off is other meds for his bipolar things.
But worked all the time. Got sicker and then it was crohns, or close.

But anyway, after a while he got with Kortni, and she talked him into leaving the factory when he was at I believe 125 lbs or less even. And he ate all the time. Everything. But he really doesn't like sweets. But even that.

Anyway, after a while he went on disability, but till then I helped get him back on seroquel and depakote, because we got him to go back to his doctor.
But he had problems and didn't take it like he was supposed to.

Anyway he started getting lots better put on some weight after being away from the factory. So he gained about 40lbs. I believe he may weight a little more now. Not sure. We finally got him to realize the need for meds. After he got in trouble with the law, and he was admitted as you know.
And stuff. But that is the mess in the nutshell.


My other son developed his severe migraines there. And was given the option of leaving and getting unemployment, or being fired and not.
He took the leaving. ANd the headaches left too. With in a year.

His was a combination of stress and lead I'm pretty sure.

We are all glad they are both away from there. And doing well now.
