The debate over whether or not there is a 'gulf war syndrome' is a very old debate.

Too many times our service men and women have to prove their medical disabilities ... and too many times the Presumptive List is way too short.

I have concern for a new mom in our town who is having horrible headaches, sweats, fever.  With all the new company ... I suspect this chemical ... the one that has been plaguing our Nation for more than 75 years

Yes, the below are the 'gulf war syndrome' symptoms I recognized ... that started me to check out 'the gulf war vets' syndrome'

[quote]Over 150,000 veterans have put thier names in the American Legion's
database according to spokesmen for the organization.

What are the symptoms?

Symptoms of Gulf War Illnesses (according to the American Legion)

* Chronic Fatigue
* Signs and symptoms involving skin (including skin rashes and
unusual hair loss)
* Headache
* Muscle pain
* Neurologic signs or symptoms (nervous system disorders which
could manifest themselves in numbness in one's arm, for instance)
* Neuropsychological signs or symptoms (including memory loss)
* Signs or symptoms involving upper or lower respiratory system
* Sleep disturbances
* Gastrointestinal signs or symptoms (including recurrent diarrhea
and constipation)
* Cardiovascular signs or symptoms
* Menstrual disorders[/quote]

 

And how can the Govt give treatment?  when they don't even know what causes this??

They can't

Most of the time doctors give to the chemically poisoned ... more chemicals (medications) which will harm you more.

I just e-mailed the Commissioner for Public Safety (troopers) in Alaska

A Public Service Announcement

 I've posted it on a WWII Vets' and their children (Baby Boombers like me)  If you know what happened to any of these, please share
