lymphoma - multiple sclerosis - brain tumors My dear friend is a 32 year old gulf war veteran. He served as a medic with the marine corp during the beginning of the invasion.
Do any of you think this is gulf war related? I'm not a veteran, but I feel in my gut that there must be a connection. He's not very informed about this, so I've decided to find out everything I can. Is it possible for him to get some kind of benefits because of this? He's afraid of going to a VA hospital. Does this sound like a death sentence? What should he do next? does he even have a chance? Have any of you heard of gulf war vets having these particular illnesses? And finally, what can I do to help my friend? Oh yeah, his wife is determined to get pregnant. That sound's like a really BAD idea to me? does anyone else agree. pissedoff Sept 4, 2000 |

| September 06, 2000 I have served in the navy from 86-92. I was never deployed to the gulf but yet have similar problems that the one's who were I've gone to the VA hospital but all I get is the runaround. I've gone to regular doctors who have run blood test after blood test but found nothing that explains the symptoms that I am having I feel trap with these problems because they won't go away. I have applied social security, but I don't like it. I have had good jobs but had to give them up because of my illness that no one seems to find. I have two little girls and my wife who seem to be coming down with similar problems . My wife was also suppose to have a baby that we lost at 3 month into it. I am afraid to another one for fear that I might lose that one or it comes out deformed. I have had weird mood swings that I can't explain, all I wish for is that the doctors could give me something that would cure me so that I could live a normal life. So I ask for help from other veterans who are suffering from runaround that VA and our gov't has given. Mark |
| If we are going to find the cause of so many of our autoimmune issues and harm to military and housewife alike, we are going to have to take a look at how their harm is similar & look for the common denominator: CFIDS fatigue! I suspect 2-butoxyethanol overexposure through the decades is the culprit. A more serious look at Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome or symptoms is most likely there, too ... if not directly, as a birth defect from someone in the family And we need to understand the strong second hand solvent exposure that 2-butoxyethanol has.

What would health changes for Valdez citizens since 1989 tell us?
