    Served in Southeast Asia Feb1991-Apr1991 returned with an array of medical conditions INCLUDING Type 1 diabetes (no family history), as well as, joint pain, gastrointestinal issues, rashes and Sleep Apnea to mention a few. Was given TWO sets of (same) deployment vaccines due to mix up, which supposedly included: yellow fever, typhoid, cholera, hepatitis B, meningitis, whooping cough, polio, tetanus and Anthrax, not sure about Botulinum toxoid, since they can't find any of my "records" from pre-deployment until return. Also, took the PB (Pyridostigmine Bromide) tablets (anti nerve gas agent) and used Deet daily. Finally rated at 70% for part of my health issues, but keep getting denied for any of the others even though they are part of the Gulf War Syndrome and Burn Pit known issues.
