Hello Slashman48, Have you ever worked with chemicals, say, landscaping/weed spray, or pest control--anything like that?

I used to treat animals with organophosphate chemicals all the time to cure them of mange and other dastardly things. Now that I teach anatomy, I breathe formaldehyde fumes. I wonder if either of these has been my demise.

Celeste, I had to look up, "organophosphate"... Of course, I don't know,
but it sure fits. Chemicals can tease out MG. I can hear some soldiers yelling, "Yep!"

Mange?.... Good for you! I couldn't handle the frog in the 12th grade...

Have worked with some chemicals. Worked with methylene chloride about 30 years ago for about 6 months but quit because it was giving me headaches from the fumes. Also was a welder for about 20 years, welding aluminum, stainless & galvanized. Currently drive equipment ( bobcats, front end loaders, etc.) for the last 15 years, so am around diesel fumes a lot.

There is a very special place in my heart for those with little ones. I remember a post on another site, years ago. The post simply said, "I have two
tiny children and I can't get my laundry up the stairs." I just lost it...

Default sounds familiar
my diagnoses period lasted from october"07 to november "09 . it probably would have been later if a popped appendix hadn't put me in the hospital . resulting complications brought about investigation by a more experienced neuro. staff. hope you escape limbo soon .
