depleted uranium is a possibility. i've asked the va about it, but they seem to ignore. I've considered exposure to nerve agents. i've been in numerous destroyed vehicles and old ammunition dumps.
i was at the ent today. they put a wick in my right ear and gave me a shot of celestrone. i'm barely functioning at times and i'm worried about my job

holy crap man. i don't even know what to say. are they (the va) being hush hush or are they confused to your problem? i guess what i mean is do they know that there is a problem and are being told to put it under wraps? kinda what griff said...

I am sorry you are going through so much, Sarge. I really hope you get some decent answers here, pretty soon.

i've lost touch with the other analyst who served in a similar capacity. he left the army and moved to ohio. from the guys who served as our psd, only one is still serving and he seems to be doing well.
the va is just there. they try hard to take care of us, but the system is overwhelmed with the number of returning soldiers. all soldiers receive 5 years of va care upon return from deployment or discharge. look how long it took to identify agent orange and gulf war syndrome. i'm just stuck in the system. i feel like there is a root cause to my illness that can be fixed if someone would look at the totality vs specialists treating things as separate diseases. plus they are very "generous" with meds. too generous at times and i worry about the potential for addiction.

True. I'm reading everything I can find on Cushings.

Which VA are you going to? Can you come down to the big hospital in Jackson?
