Feel the Burn, did you ever get any compensation for your Benzene exposure? My neurologist sent me to see an occ health specialist but he was very evasive and wrote a silly report. He normally represents employers so I was not surprised. I did come across a paper that talked about benzene (hydroquinone) causing PN. I just don't know if I have the energy to pursue it.

Me either,, I just dont have the energy to Pursue it either,, In my former occupation I worked as a electrician for a govt research lab,, for 36 years I worked in many labs that has so much stuff in them,, when we had to work above the ceilings,, the exhaust system was just falling arpat from the amount of stuff that escaped teh labhoods,, and was depositied above teh ceilings,, there also was a place called chemical handling,, it was fulll of barrels of stuff,, benzene,, and a ton of other chemicals that either leaked or just were not nice to be around,, we had to install grounding systems to ground teh barrels,, and it was not unnatural to come in contact with some of this stuff,, I know they have run heavy metal testing onme,, but I just cannot get a answer as to what these test shwoed,, I am assuming they were negative,, but I hve requested teh results so many times its crazy,, sometimes i htinmk its a conspiricy to se how much they can mkae me suffer,,
