I am a daughter of a Gulf War vet. I was born in '94. Right around the time I turned 16 I started to feel strange tingling and numbness in my extremities. As the years went by I started having more and more symptoms just like my father. Now, I experience almost constant pain in one part of my body or another. My step-mom says that these symptoms are just like my dad's too. I'm only 21 and I feel as if I'm in my 50's. Arthritic like pain in my joints. Muscle pain. Back pain. Leg pain. Headaches. Sleep problems. Swelling and stiffness in my hands and feet in the morning. And the most recent similar symptom between me and my dad is a burning sensation in my feet, as well as sensitivity to touch, like they're on fire or being pricked with a bunch of needles. I don't have diabetes or asthma or anything else. I'm very scared, are there other GW children like me?
