Every Year That Passes I see LESS and LESS about PB Pills and Khamisiyah, Iraq
As time passes on and each new GW report comes out I am sad, but not shocked, to see less and less about our exposure to Pyridostigmine Bromide Pills and Sarin Nerve Agent exposure at Khamisiyah Ammunition Depot. If we use the same timeline for the VA to recognize our GW illnesses as they did with Vietnam and Agent Orange, I figure about the year 2026 everyone of us will be able to finally get some closure. We must not let our anger about what is happening to all of us get in the way of how things work in our government, we must not be suprised, appalled, or disgusted. It is what it is and we must all Soldier on and make the best of the situation and do our best for those that follow after us.....like my son with two tours of duty under his belt. Our goverment has all the information and resources it needs to figure this out, and one day it will, quite miraculously, i'm sure.

I have developed Neurosarcoidosis, I can not prove it is related to Pyridostigmine Bromide Pills, I do have my suspensions that it is related. I and my unit took them every 8 hours for approximately 3 + weeks.
With civilian doctors I am now in remission, and the dang VA Doctors do not believe I every had it. They will not accept the MRI's and reports for civilian doctors. If I have a relapse I will have to make an appointment to see the VA for verification. Lets see by the time my appointment comes around, I just may be in a pain box.

I've read the summary. Its absent of recourse for affected family members or what I call Gulf War babies. We need medical information and resources.

There was so much going on, like burn pits...who didn't get involved in that? How about desalmonized water? How about this one...my unit went the intire time after we left tent city, without fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs....everyone lost so much weight...then the spent uranium shells...I sent VA copy of my letter stating I was in the area when the Kashmiri explosion happened, and I remember that day....all these factors, everyone knows are true, are the reason we are sick...days without sleep, then when you finally can get some, either the flies (another thing left out) bite you awake, or someone is startling you out of a deep sleep moving at breakneck speed cause a Scud is comming...It makes me sick to think of it...and there is more that went down over in the sand box, home comming
