Note 2016 results
Results
Lymphocyte, monocyte, neutrophil, and platelet counts were higher in GWI subjects. Six serum proteins associated with inflammation were significantly different in GWI subjects. A diagnostic model of three biomarkers—lymphocytes, monocytes, and C reactive protein—had a predicted probability of 90% (CI 76–90%) for diagnosing GWI when the probability of having GWI was above 70%.
Significance
The results of the current study indicate that inflammation is a component of the pathobiology of GWI. Analysis of the data resulted in a model utilizing three readily measurable biomarkers that appears to significantly augment the symptom-based case definition of GWI. These new observations are highly relevant to the diagnosis of GWI, and to therapeutic trials.

So pull out your hematology lab work and review at each date for the following

Have you had blood clots. ?
Heart attack?
Coronary Artery problems?
Irregular heart beats. abnormal EKG?
Increase in blood pressure?
Palpitations of heart?
Stroke?
Pulmonary Embolus?
Arterial vessels problems?
Fatigue more pronounced after Exercise? Neuro cognitive function changes?
Memory problems?
Blood pressure elevated,
X-ray reveals left ventricular hypertrophy, did your time to perform PT Re run change after Desert Storm Etc?
Think about oxygen not bring able to get where needed? Or ability to diffuse oxygen to where it is needed normally because blood is thick
Things to add for suggestion
Veterans ask your provider
Compare old Chest X-rays and CT scans and then maintain routine schedule of repeat scans. Also rule outs bacterial other infections. Follow up blood testing and pulmonary function testing.
*******Here ask if they could do this
**********Important key test will have answer within 15 minutes. Have to be at place with lab to do test asap. If drawn samples in ice to lap asap stat and lab has to run immediately!
And simultaneous arterial and venous blood gases. Arterial will be fine but why would venous oxygen be way way high.
Thick blood and oxygen can not get where it needs to be
And also leads to early heart attack, increase BP and pulse and short of breath and enlargement left ventricle of heart
Also can lead to problems Neuro cognitive
Also earlier strokes in age group
Aneurysms
Blood clots
Cramps in calves that leave you yell out from sound sleep
Neuropathy in lower extremities and tinging in hands similar to raynald disease
Visual changes eyes very dependent on oxygen
Restless sleep due to just change in oxygen not getting transfused where it needs to be
Tingling and numbness in arms and legs
Fatigue yes because oxygen not getting thru thick blood
