& anyone: Re: how to get endo to relate

October 24, 2004

Why would I start getting sick after 18 years? It all started after

I had my 2nd child in 2000. I have had both my children while

working there. I do notice that the second one is more " aggressive "

then the first, but isn't that more the norm with more than one

child?

If this is the case, would it ever go away even after quitting my

job? Maybe I should mention this to endo?

> Trichlorethane... BAD news fir your thyroid~ this is three parts

chlorine and one part ethylene... It is THEE most common solvent &

CLEANER used in manufacturing, especially metal working. I used ot

work (MANY eons ago) for Ethicon Medical Supplies I was a needle

inspector for opthalmic needles. Very interesting job, but scary in

what the let go through! Anyway I started getting sick as soon as

they put me on the inspecting job. I had my container of " oil "

(that's what everyone thought it was) by my machine, and as the

needles came down the line I would spray them off wiht this oil, and

check them inder a microscope for flaws & sharpness. My job was not

so much quality control as hollering at the machinist if there was

more than a few bad needles so he could adjust the machine. After 6

weks if deathly illness. My doc started looking for allergens. Asked

me where I worked & told me ot get MSDS sheets on everything I used.

Well I already KNEW I was allergic to chlorine! I had been breathing

that spray for the whole time I worked there. I is amazing it didn;t

kill me! I quit the nextday and told them why. They wouldn't move me

ot another part of the factory as I had so many sick days they

really didn't want me there! LOL So I went nback to work in kennels

where I only have to avoid a jog of Chlorine THERE to descent the

runs. Most kennels have been good in letting me find another

disinfectant/odor killer that was safe for me ot use. Now all these

years later, my hypothyroid cat is sensitive to chlorine too! When

he drinks chlorinated water, he gets horrible mouth sores.
