Guest guest Posted September 7, 2002 Report Share Posted September 7, 2002 Yea, personally i think its from several unnamed pills and shots we had to take such as anthrax vaccine. Also, we breathed in smoke from the oil fires burning every day. When i got there, the skies were black in SAudi ARabia from the oil fires from Kuwait. Also the food they trucked in to us was not kept in very proper or sanitary conditions.I finally had to resort to eating 2 hot dogs for lunch and supper with fries the whole time i was there. LOL> and also when we blew up the dumps at Khamisiyah in southern iraq, they didnt check the canisters in the dumps to see what was in the canisters. I just found out that thousands of Iraqui citizens who lived in that area have the same symptoms i do. I believe all of my health problems are from Gulf and the VA recognizes it at 40 percent so far.I try to keep an amusing outlook on it since its gone on for so long. Thats why i call the daily diarrhea Saddams revenge and its my original term. when i tell other people and other sick Gulf vets , they laugh and thats what i intend.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2002 Report Share Posted September 8, 2002 , I think that's great that you keep your sense of humor. With a chronic illness, it's one of the best coping mechanisms there is. I hope you're feeling a little better today.
